TS100 PRO Cable Fault Finder
Users Guide
SmartTone
™
Positive Identification System
The tester injects a tone onto the connected pair
concurrently with fault locating signals. This tone is
compatible with most tone probes. When you are
using a tone probe to identify a wire pair, the tone
volume from nearby wires may be indistinguishable
from the tone from the target pair. The SmartTone
Positive Identification System lets you positively
identify the wire pair. The tone has 5 frequency and
cadence options.
To use the SmartTone System:
1
Connect the tester to a wire pair; then turn on the
tester.
2
At the other end of the cable, use your tone probe
to find the wire pair by probing for the pair with
the loudest tone.
3
Short the wire pair together, then release the
short.
If the tones do not change, then you have not
found the correct pair.
If the tones change, then you have found the
correct pair.
Note
The tone is not audible on the tester’s beeper.
