Overview: Tone Sender, Receiver, Meter, And Tdr; Connections - AALogic TriTone User Manual

1 OVERVIEW: TONE SENDER, RECEIVER, METER,
AND TDR
The TriTone Transceiver is designed for identifying cables and cable pairs by
generating identification tone at 577Hz or 987Hz at one of three amplitudes;
Normal, High, and Maximum. The TriTone Transceiver provides Simplex and
Triplex tone modes allowing the user to select the best mode for the application.
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.
The TriTone Transceiver includes a tone amplifier and internal speaker for
receiving tone sent on cable and pairs. The tone can be from another TriTone
Transceiver or other tone source sending 577Hz or 987Hz tone. The DAP-125
differential amplifier probe is provided for superior tone reception and pair
identification.
The TriTone Transceiver also includes an option to probe for HDSL, T1, or VDSL
signals on pairs to identify pairs with data (Special Circuits). A DSL Scan feature
allows probing for DSL type circuits without specifying a particular mode.
Metering functions built into the TriTone Transceiver allow the user to check DC
and AC voltages (noise) on the pair. This is helpful in identifying the type of
service on the pair or possible defects such as foreign voltage or excessive noise.
Finally, the TriTone Transceiver includes a TDR. This is helpful when selecting a
vacant pair for assignment. The TDR provides length and fault status.
