Page 4: Overview: Tone Sender, Receiver, Meter, And Tdr
The TriTone Transceiver tone is used with existing amplifier probes; filtered, tunable, or unfiltered. Receivers with aerial coils and hand coils that are compatible with 577 Hz or 987 Hz can also be used to receive TriTone Transceiver tone. The TriTone Transceiver includes automatic visual and audible short/ground indications to assist in confirming pair identification. -

A wire connected to a suitable ground can be connected to the ground binding post on the TriTone Transceiver in place of the ground cord if needed. This can be used when the best ground is some distance from the testing point. Using the shortest ground possible improves meter measurements. -
Page 6: Contrast
FREQUENCY SELECTION The TriTone Transceiver generates 577 Hz or 987 Hz tone. Select a tone that is compatible with the tone probe(s) that will be used. The TriTone Transceiver retains the previous selection when the power is turned on. -

High tone levels can aid in the location of cables. The high levels provide more signal outside the cable. The TriTone Transceiver tone transmit voltage Tip or Ring to Ground levels are: • NORM – 5V ac peak-to-peak • HI – 10Vac peak-to-peak •... -

In the case of a pair with one side open, the good side of the pair can be grounded and the TriTone Transceiver will provide a visual and audible confirmation. -
Page 9: Cable Identification
TONE FUNCTION This mode is used to locate cables or cable pairs. A suitable tone source that sends 577Hz or 987Hz tone, such as a TriTone 3, D-105, another TriTone Transceiver, or other tone source, is required. The TriTone Transceiver cannot be used to send and receive tone at the same time. -

Gain increases the sensitivity of the amplifier. This helps when the tone is weak such as identifying cables. Volume just makes the sound from the speaker louder. This helpful in noisy areas. If the tone is faint, increase the GAIN rather than the volume. If you can hear tone but it is not loud enough, increase the VOLUME. -

TDR shows the approximate length of open pairs and estimates distance to resistive faults. THREE TERMINAL METERING The TriTone Transceiver DC and AC meters use a three terminal meter display. This allows the TriTone Transceiver to display the measurements Tip to Ring, Tip to Ground, and Ring to Ground simultaneously. -
Page 12: Meter - Dc
METER – DC The DC meter shows DC voltage on cable pairs. This voltage may indicate a working pair or a DC fault on the pair. Wet cables frequently show DC voltages on vacant pairs. DC may also be an indication of a short or cross with another pair. •... -
