The digital tone M is optimized for 4 pair UTP data

optimized for two wire locating.

To locate and isolate cables using the digital tone, do the

following:

block as shown in Figure 1.

2. Turn the toner’s rotary switch to

M .

3. Turn the IT100 probe’s rotary switch to M

(locate).

4. Use the probe to find the general location of the

tone at a cable rack, patch panel, or behind a wall.

The SYNC LED lights up green when the probe is

receiving the IntelliTone signal.

In locating mode, the probe’s LEDs light up from 1 to

8 as the signal strength increases. The higher the

number, the stronger the signal.

2-conductor cables, the cable may be shorted.

Use the continuity test (page 10) to check for

shorts.
