Smplx 3T; Tri-Plex - AALogic TriTone User Manual

SMPLEX 1T mode displays an analog meter of the DC voltage between the Black
(TIP) and the Red (RING) clips. The indicated voltage decreases if a short is
applied to the pair at the far-end to confirm the pair identity. A beep is heard if the
voltage drop indicates a short.
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 beep confirmation.

4.3.2 SMPLX 3T

SMPLX 3T applies tone in the same manner as the
SMPLX 1T mode. This mode includes a digital
meter that displays the DC voltage between the
TIP and RING as well as the AC voltages between
the TIP and Ground and the RING and Ground.
The DC voltage, T to R, will decrease if a short is
applied to the pair at the far-end to confirm the
pair identity. A beep is heard and a visual
indication, BUZZ, is displayed between T and R if
the voltage drop indicates a short or ground on
one side.
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.

4.3.3 TRI-PLEX

Triplex tone is a unique tone mode that minimizes
cross-coupled tone to adjacent pairs.
Triplex mode applies tone to the pair Tip to
Ground, Ring to Ground, and Tip to Ring
simultaneously but the tones are 180 degrees out
of phase. TriPlex tone mode can be heard, Tip to
Ring, on balanced pairs. This tone can also be
heard even when the grounds or bonds are
missing.
This tone mode is useful any time high-levels of
tone is coupled to adjacent pairs, including wet
sections.
Begin by using either of the SMPLX modes to
identify the most likely pairs. Then use the TRI-
PLEX mode to identify and confirm the actual pair.
