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
•
MAX – 20Vac peak-to-peak
Note: Tip to Ring voltages in TriPlex mode are 2x the Tip or Ring to Ground Levels.
The TriTone Transceiver retains the previous selection when the power is turned
on.
The Level can be set from the Main screen or any tone operating screen.
•
Press [LEVEL], use [F2] ▼and [F3] ▲ to select the desired level
•
Press [F1] SET.

TONE MODE SELECTION
TriTone Transceiver provides three tone mode options; SMPLX 1T, SMPLX 3T, and
TRI-PLEX. The mode is selected by pressing the Function keys, [F1], [F2], or
as shown on the TONE screen.
•
From the Main screen, press [F1] SEND
•
Press [F1] SMPLX 1T, [F2] SMPLX 3T, or
4.3.1
SMPLX 1T
SMPLX 1T applies tone to the Tip to Ground and
the Ring to Ground at the same time. The tone is
balanced and in phase on the Tip and Ring
eliminating audible tone between the Tip and Ring
on balanced pairs.
The amount of tone heard Tip to Ring (metallic) will
vary depending on the balance of the pair and the
tone voltage. The tone heard increases on
unbalanced pairs as the tone level is increased.
Simplex tone is commonly used to locate cable
pairs. The tone depends on a good ground or
shield to conduct the tone efficiently.
Missing or poor bonds, open shields, and grounds
can significantly reduce the amount of tone on the
pair and make it more difficult to locate pairs.
Simplex tone is applied to both the Tip to Ground and Ring to Ground
simultaneously and can be heard even if one side of the pair is open.
