Tone Generator kit, Wire Tracer Circuit Tester, 200EP High Accuracy Wire Tester Kit, Wires Tone Tracer, Multi-Tone Cable Test Kits with Inductive Amplifier for Network Cables Collation

I've used tone generators for decades to sound out wires for HVAC and electrical work. This was a well priced replacement for my Tempest - the inductive pick up stopped working. This is an essential tool that if not familiar to you requires some getting used to and once understood will prove invaluable. Good product- works very well and was bought at a good price.

I retired from telco, and I've gone through many, many of these. They'll come with different names, but this is the 100% same product that $ for the name. Treat it moderately well, and it'll last you forever. *tool trick* #1 When the tone generator battery is fresh it will bleed signal all over the nearby conductors. Instead, switch to the tone function and leave it on the counter overnight. This will tone (pun) it down a bit. After that it'll settle down to a sweet spot. #2 Power check. These toners are capable of recognizing up to 90V ac/dc, and can take 120V for judicious periods. Attatch it to to your item in question? Lit? You have power. #3 Loud or bleeding over situations: With the probe. Place the speaker near your ear, touch the tip with your index finger. Then press 'on' with your finger and adjust the volume with your middle. Using the spare tip, finger, etc. that safety allows, to probe, hear, and isolate. #4 Under ideal conditions, on a hot battery, you can send signal on 24 gauge wire for ~5/8 mile (1km). #5 Fence broken. Tone here/not here. #6 Stereo; will send signal to after amp speakers. Networks (buy a bag of M to M 8 pin couplers to be a hero) and chase cable issues. NOTE: I've tried all of the popular network specific products and this is the consistent best. I always carried 2 of the generators, with the signals set to different tones. Saves Hella amounts of walking. The continuity feature is great for a quick test for a short.

the sensor unit cheaply made, moderate static, does pick up signal however An ok product for occasional use and DIY projects My old one-looked exactly like this one but sturdier made -lasted 35 yrs! Doubt this one will

I was converting telephone jacks to ethernet and needed to track down which cable from the punch down panel ran to which room. This did the job with ease.

Perfect for tracing wires and testing circuits. Great battery life and very loud

Might as well just get a long piece of cable or wire and do a continuity test. I couldn't tune it down enough to pin point an exact wire from a bunch of wires that I had coming out of a junction box. It gives a loud tone even if you are within a 12 inches or so of other wires which made it useless since it’s hard to eliminate other wires if they are close. I ended up using a long extension cord and stuck the wires one at a time into the ground hole and performed a continuity test, and I found my wire quick. I wish I had thought of that before purchasing this junk.

This tone generator does the job.

I was a lineman for the telecom business for 30yrs.This toner is perfect for those jobs you run into when there's multiple lines and all you need is one.
