application hints
When tracing wires terminated to a terminal block such as a "66 block",
attach both generator leads to the cable or pair tends to contain the signal
within the cable or pair. This causes cancellation of the radiated signal. The
tracer must nearly touch the end of the cable to detect the signal, which is
helpful when the wires are close together or when terminated.
Connecting one lead of the generator to a wire is normally sufficient to
trace the cable. The more wires in a cable connected in parallel to the
generator, the stronger the radiated signal.
When necessary to maximize radiated signal, connect one lead of the
generator to the wire or cable and the other end to ground (case of an
electrical box, electrical conduit, metallic water pipe or ground rod).
Connect the generator to the ungrounded shield of a coax cable for the
strongest signal. If the generator is connected to the center lead, the shield
will do its job and shield the signal from being radiated.
Replacing the pRobe tip
The probe tip can be replaced if it is worn out or damaged with TraceAll™
Probe Replacement Tip (Cat. No. VDV999-059.)
1.
Remove the screw on the back of the probe nearest to the probe tip
using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
2. Pull the tip out of the probe.
3. Push the new tip into the probe. The probe body has a keying slot so
the probe can only be inserted completely in one orientation.
4. Replace the screw and tighten, being careful not to over-tighten.
Make sure the probe tip is firmly held in place by pulling gently on it.
If not, tighten the screw slightly.
batteRy ReplaceMent
To check the tone generator for low batteries, watch its flashing
LED for dimming.
To check the tracer for low batteries, connect the alligator clips adapter to
the tone unit and turn it on. Turn the volume down to the minimum on the
tracer and place it near the adapter. If there is a quiet, distorted tone or no
tone at all from the tracer, you should replace the batteries.
1.
Remove the screw in the middle of the back of the probe with a #0
Phillips screwdriver. Remove the battery door.
2. Recycle exhausted batteries. Hitting the palm of your cupped hand
with the back of the probe will usually dislodge the batteries from the
compartment.
3. Acquire 4 x IEC LR44 1.5 volt alkaline batteries (Energizer A76,
Duracell LR44).
4. Insert batteries into battery compartment with the battery plus sign
(+) in the direction of the plus sign on the case (the spring contact is
negative and the button contact is positive). Inserting the last battery
in the middle of the stack is the easiest.
5. Replace battery door and screw, taking care not to over-tighten it.
