TG100
805-383-1500
Tone Generator
Operating Instructions
Features
• Three distinctly different tones selected from
front panel
• Constant tone amplitude over life of battery
• Two tone amplitude levels — normal and half
• Auto-off of tone after 3 hours — no dead
battery if left on
• Tone may be added in any mode — allows
phone sets without monitor feature to pick
up tone
• No power draw in continuity mode with leads
open — no dead battery if left in continuity
• Separate Talk Battery mode for increased
voltage and power for Butt sets
• RJ jack allows use of modular cable or
provided alligator clip leads
Warning!
Do not attach to live AC circuits. This could
cause an extreme shock hazard and damage
the TG100.
Instructions
for Use
To check the status of a
phone circuit
1) Move slide switch on left
side of TG100 to the "OFF
3-Position
Status" position.
Slide Switch
2) Connect black lead to
with functions:
• Talk Battery
TIP and the red lead to
• Continuity
RING — or one lead to
• Line Status (off)
each wire of the pair, if
designation is unknown.
If NRM LED turns on:
the polarity is correct and
the black lead is connected
to TIP.
If the REV turns on:
the leads are reversed.
If the NRM or REV LED is bright:
the line is not in use.
If the LED is dim: the circuit is in use.
If both NRM and REV are on or flashing:
an AC voltage is present.
Application Hints
The TIP signal is nominally at ground potential.
So RING can be identified by attaching the black
lead to a ground point and connecting the red
lead to each wire of the pair. When the red lead
is connected to RING, the NRM LED will light.
Tone LEDs
Momentary Push Button:
• Turns tone on/off
• Selects amplitude and tone type
Line Status Indicators
Battery Low LED
The status LEDs also indicate a ringing line by
both NRM and REV LEDs flashing brightly. To
verify a phone line, connect the TG100 (in status
mode) to the line to be tested and call that line's
number from another line. The TG100 status
LEDs should indicate a ringing line.
To check continuity of a circuit
Use only on non-energized circuits. Any energy
present may damage the TG100 or cause
erroneous results.
1) Move slide switch on left side of TG100 to the
"Cont" position.
