Cable Trace
Tracer/Toner is a cable tracing function that assists in tracking cables
hidden in walls, ceilings, floors, or patch panels by generating a signal
that can be converted into an audible tone by Cable Tracer II (sold
separately) or any other equivalent tracing device.
1. Attach the end of the cable you want to trace
to the OMNISCANNER using a patch cord and the
Channel Adapter or the Link Adapter. Make sure
that the cable is not grounded, as a grounded
cable will weaken the signal.
A multi-tone trace signal will begin transmitting.
To enhance the signal, insert a grounding plug
into the ground jack located left of the DB-9 Serial
Connector. A grounding plug is included in the optional Cable Tracer II
kit; you may use any grounding cable that has a standard insulated
phone tip plug.
2. To determine the cable path use the multi-tone sound as a guide and
simply trace along the wire where the tone is loudest. The tracer needs
to be within one foot of the hidden cable.
Press ESC to exit the CABLE TRACE screen.
