4. Configuración

4.1 Instalación de la batería

1. Locate the battery compartment on both the Cable Toner and the Probe units.
2. Abra la tapa del compartimiento de la batería.
3. Insert one 9V 6F22 battery into each unit, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Cierre bien la tapa del compartimento de la batería.

4.2 Connecting the Toner

• Connect the test head cable to the Cable Toner unit.
• Depending on the cable type you are testing, use the appropriate connector (e.g., RJ11 for telephone lines, RJ45 for network cables, or alligator clips for bare wires) to connect the toner to the cable you wish to trace.
• Ensure the cable is disconnected from any active equipment and is not live.

5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

5.1 Rastreo de cables

1. Connect the Cable Toner to the target cable as described in Section 4.2.
2. Turn on the Cable Toner. It will generate a tone signal onto the cable.
3. Turn on the Probe (Receiver) unit.
4. Adjust the sensitivity of the Probe using its control dial for optimal detection.
5. Move the tip of the Probe along the path of the suspected cable. The Probe will emit an audible tone and/or illuminate an LED indicator when it detects the signal from the toner.
6. Follow the strongest signal to accurately trace the cable's path.

5.2 Short Circuit and Polarity Testing

• Some models of the 200EP toner may offer additional functions like short circuit detection or polarity testing. Refer to the markings on your specific toner unit for these features.
• Typically, these functions involve connecting the toner to the cable and observing LED indicators or tone changes on the toner itself to determine circuit status or polarity.

6. Mantenimiento

• Limpieza: Limpie el dispositivo con un paño suave y seco. No utilice limpiadores abrasivos ni disolventes.
• Reemplazo de batería: Replace batteries when the indicator light dims or the device performance degrades. Always use fresh 9V 6F22 batteries. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Almacenamiento: Store the kit in its provided storage bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Solución de problemas

• Sin señal/señal débil:
  • Compruebe si las baterías están instaladas correctamente y tienen carga suficiente.
  • Ensure the Cable Toner is turned on and properly connected to the cable.
  • Increase the sensitivity on the Probe unit.
  • Verify the cable is not live or connected to other equipment that might interfere with the signal.
• Sin energía:
  • Verifique la instalación de la batería y reemplácela con baterías nuevas.
  • Asegúrese de que el interruptor de encendido esté en la posición "ENCENDIDO".
• Interferencia:
  • External electrical noise can affect tracing. Try to minimize sources of interference.
  • Ensure the cable being traced is isolated from other active cables if possible.
