Features
The Amplifier Probe is designed to identify and trace the signal generated
by a Tone Generator along cables or wires without damaging the insulation.
Operation
Cable Tracing
The amplifier probe is designed to identify and trace signals generated by the Tone Generator.
The Tone Generator is linked to the cable or wires to be traced and the signal can be followed along
the cable and to the ends of individual wires with the amplifier probe. Press and hold the ON button
to turn on the amplifier probe.
Hold the tip of amplifier probe near wires or cables to
be identified. The signal will be loudest on the cable
or wire that the generator is attached to. Adjust the
volume as required. The signal strength LED will vary
in brightness depending on the strength of the signal
being detected. The brightness is not affected by the
volume control. In noisy environments, a headset (not
included) may be plugged into the headphone socket.
Turn the volume control down first to avoid possible
damage to hearing.
The LED torch on the underside of the case is useful
when the amplifier probe is used in dark areas. This
is turned on by pressing the LED torch button. This is
adjacent to the main ON button so that both buttons
may be pressed simultaneously if required. The battery
status indicator will turn on when the battery voltage
is low to indicate that the battery should be replaced.
The battery cover is on the rear of the probe and is
accessed by the retaining screw. Remove and replace
the old battery and replace the cover. Do not leave
discharged batteries in the amplifier probe.
Pair Identification
Locate the target pair and short the targeted wire.
The tone will mute to indicate you have located the
target pair correctly. If tone continues then pick a
different pair and try again.
