The compact, ergonomic Tone Generator offers several easy-to-use capabilities to conduct line tracings and ensure proper signal path quality for data and voice installations. In addition to auto-off, multiple tone function, full talk battery, and low battery indicator, the Tone Generator performs wire and cable identification without having to make direct contact with a metallic conductor. Constant tone amplitude over the life of the battery means accurate and traceable tones even at end of battery life. Two tone amplitude levels—normal and half—extend tone reach. Quick-change tips enable easier use in the field.
