2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Always observe safety precautions when working with electrical equipment. Ensure the network is non-active before tracing wires. Do not use the device on live circuits unless explicitly stated in the operating instructions for a specific function. Keep the device dry and clean. Refer to local safety regulations and guidelines.

3. Kitkomponenter

• Pro3000 Tone Generator: Generates the tone signal.
• Pro3000 Probe: Detects the tone signal.
• Alligatorklemmer: For connecting the tone generator to bare wires.
• RJ11 stik: For connecting the tone generator to telephone jacks.
• Bæretaske: For praktisk opbevaring og transport.

4. Opsætning

4.1 Batteriinstallation

Both the Pro3000 Tone Generator and the Pro3000 Probe require a 9-volt alkaline battery for operation. To install or replace batteries:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of each unit.
2. Brug en skruetrækker til at åbne batteridækslet.
3. Insert a new 9-volt alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Luk batteridækslet forsvarligt.

4.2 Connecting the Tone Generator

The tone generator can be connected to the cable you wish to trace using either the alligator clips or the RJ11 connector:

• Alligatorklemmer: Connect the red and black alligator clips to the exposed conductors of the cable. Ensure a secure connection.
• RJ11 stik: Plug the RJ11 connector directly into a telephone jack or an RJ11 port.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Activating the Tone Generator

1. Turn on the Pro3000 Tone Generator by pressing the power button.
2. Select the desired tone mode:
   • Solid Tone: The red light on the left will be solid.
   • Alternating Tone (ALT): Press the power button again until the red light blinks. This mode provides five distinct tones for exact pair identification (SmartTone technology).

5.2 Tracing Wires with the Probe

1. Turn on the Pro3000 Probe using its ON/OFF button.
2. Adjust the sensitivity (HIGH/LOW) as needed for your environment.
3. At the opposite end of the cable, or along its path, use the probe's tip to listen for the tone. The loud speaker is audible in noisy locations.
4. Move the probe along the cable path until the tone is strongest, indicating the location of the toned wire.

5.3 SmartTone Technology for Pair Identification

When using the alternating tone mode, SmartTone technology allows you to confirm the correct wire pair:

1. Once you have identified a potential wire pair with the probe, briefly short the two conductors of that pair together for approximately two seconds.
2. The tone emitted by the probe will change, confirming that you have located the correct pair. The tone will revert to its original sound when the short is removed.

5.4 Continuity Mode

The tone generator also features a continuity mode. When connected to a cable, if it detects any DC voltage, it will illuminate an LED to notify you. It will also light up red or green based on the polarity of the detected voltage.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Udskiftning af batteri

Replace 9-volt alkaline batteries in both the tone generator and probe when the indicator lights dim or the tone weakens. Refer to section 4.1 for battery installation steps.

6.2 Rengøring

Wipe the units with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the units are dry before storage.

6.3 Replaceable Tip

The Pro3000 Probe features a replaceable tip. If the tip becomes worn or damaged, it can be replaced to maintain optimal performance.

7. Fejlfinding

• No Tone/Weak Tone:
  • Check battery levels in both the tone generator and probe. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure proper connection of the tone generator to the cable.
  • Increase the probe's sensitivity (HIGH setting).
  • Verify the cable is not active or connected to a device that might interfere with the tone.
• Difficulty Identifying Pairs:
  • Ensure the tone generator is in alternating tone (ALT) mode for SmartTone functionality.
  • Confirm the shorting technique for pair identification is correctly applied.
• Continuity Issues:
  • If the continuity LED does not light up as expected, check connections and ensure the cable is not open-circuited.
