Extech 40180 Tone Generator and Amplifier Probe Circuit Finder Kit
The Extech 40180 Tone Generator and Amplifier Probe Circuit Finder Kit is a comprehensive toolset designed for efficiently tracing and identifying wires and cables within a group, as well as checking the operation of phone lines. This heavy-duty kit emits an audible tone that facilitates easy identification of wires, ensuring accurate and swift diagnostics.
Description
The Extech 40180 kit comprises two main components: a tone generator and an amplifier probe. The tone generator produces a 1 kHz, 6V square wave signal, which is injected into the wire or cable under test. The amplifier probe, equipped with an insulated inductive probe tip, detects the signal along the cable, allowing the user to trace its path without making direct contact with the conductors. This design prevents shorting conductors and enhances safety during operation.
The kit includes essential accessories such as alligator clips for connecting to non-terminated cables, RJ45 and RJ11 modular connectors for direct connections to telephone and internet wiring, a 9V battery for power, and a carrying case for easy transport and storage.
With its robust construction and user-friendly design, the Extech 40180 is suitable for professionals in telecommunications, networking, and electrical maintenance, providing a reliable solution for cable tracing and line testing tasks.
