    Jonard has done a nice job with this little tool. Its inexpensive, does the job and even has an ingenious mechanism for conserving battery power. Recommended.

    I’ve always had one of these since I’m all around Tech and when toning or troubleshooting a single line this makes your life a lot easier. But I just got one on August 20th and it’s already broken. I’m guessing most likely the speaker but it didn’t even make it to three months. He’ll it didn’t even give me a chance to loose it, which is what happened to my previous ones. Just sucks that it didn’t even lasted at all. But good tool to have.

    The pictures on the site show that the item comes with a cardboard backed packaging. Mine came in a taped plastic bag. The packaging and listing show the product comes with a battery. Mine did not!

    When I decided to cancel the DSL and get internet via cable, I needed to trace the the cables that started in the basement and ran to every room in the house so I could figure out what connections to make in order to get the cable modem to the location I wanted it in. This tester was easy to use and was a great help in this effort. Even the cable guy, who said he uses a much more complex device for the purpose (which measured other characteristics of the cable as well), commented that this seemed like a good tool for the job it was meant to perform.

    Buy and old house and scour the house for cable wires. Well if you buy this godsend you can located the crappy wire and finally watch some high def house renovation show to make you even more depressed about the crap house you just bought.

Loud tone identifies line carrying signal

Manual ON/OFF switch preserves battery life
Right angle male push-on connector is ideal for working in confined areas
Female push-on connector is perfect for speed toning
Accurate up to 5,000 feet (1,500 m)
Connect the toner without emitting a tone under discretion

PT-100 Instructions
1. Unscrew the speaker located on the base of the unit.
NOTE: The base also houses the ON-OFF switch and powers on the unit when the speaker is removed.
2. The barrel of the device houses a DC transmitter and male F connector push-on fitting. Attach this
fitting to a female F connector port.
3. Touch the speaker to the end of each cable. When the correct cable is found, you will hear an audible tone.
4. When finished, screw the speaker into the base to power off the unit.

How to Read Results
1. If the cable condition is good, the LED will illuminate and the Speaker will emit a tone.
2. If there is an open circuit, the LED will be off and the Speaker will not emit a tone.
3. If there is a short circuit, the LED will be on, and the Speaker will not emit a tone.
4. If testing on a cable with Voltage over 4V, the LED will be off, and the Speaker will emit a tone.
Note that the pitch will change and the volume will increase in this case.
