How To Use The Tone Generator - Fluke Versiv Series Technical Reference Handbook

How to Use the Tone Generator

The tone generator on the main and remote lets you use a tone
probe, such as the Fluke Networks IntelliTone
cables or jacks. The tone probe converts the tone generator's
signal to audible tones. The tones get louder as you move the
probe closer to the cable or jack connected to the tester. The
main tester can transmit four different tones.
The tone generator does not generate the
IntelliTone signal.
The tone generator also turns on an inactive main or remote DSX
CableAnalyzer connected to the other end of the cable.
To use the tone generator
Attach a link interface adapter to the main or remote tester.
1
Connect the tester to a cable.
2
Turn on the tone generator:
3
 Main tester: Press  or tap TOOLS > Tone Generator.
To change the tone, tap CHANGE TONE.
Remote tester: Press .

Use a tone probe to locate the cable or jack that transmits the
4
tone.
A tone probe possibly cannot detect the tone
generator's signal along shielded cable, but can
detect the signal at the cable's jack.
If you connect a tester to the other end of the cable,
the tone generator turns off.
