Setup

Battery Installation

The 601K-G kit requires batteries for operation, which are not included. Ensure you have the correct battery types for both the 200B-G Probe and the 77M-G Tone Generator. Refer to the battery compartments on each device for specific battery requirements (e.g., 9V batteries). Open the battery cover, insert the batteries with correct polarity, and securely close the cover.

Component Connection

The kit includes a 200B-G Probe and a 77M-G Tone Generator with alligator clips and a modular plug. For most operations, the tone generator will be connected to the cable or circuit you wish to trace, and the probe will be used to detect the tone along the cable path.

Operating Instructions

Wire Tracing

To trace voice, data, or video wiring, connect the 77M-G Tone Generator to one end of the cable. Turn on the tone generator. Use the 200B-G Probe to scan along the cable path. The probe will emit an audible tone when it detects the signal from the generator, allowing you to follow the wire's route, even through walls.

Multi-Pair Cable Identification

For identifying specific wires within multi-pair cables, connect the tone generator to the desired wire. The probe's precise detection allows you to isolate the correct wire from a bundle, facilitating efficient troubleshooting and connectivity.

Telephone Line Polarity and Voltage Monitoring

The 601K-G-BOX Tone Generator and Probe Kit provides polarity indication for telephone lines, which is crucial for proper installation and maintenance. It can also monitor voltage passing through a circuit. The LED indicator on the probe provides visual feedback for continuity, voltage, polarity, and ringing status.

Continuity Testing

The included tone generator can be used to check for continuity and detect short circuits in a circuit. This helps in quickly identifying breaks or faults in wiring.

Adjustable Gain Control

The probe features adjustable gain control, allowing you to optimize performance in noisy environments. This improves the accuracy and efficiency of tracing by filtering out interference.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your TEMPO 601K-G kit, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the devices with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the kit in its provided nylon pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage and damage.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the modular plug and alligator clips for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.

Troubleshooting

• No Tone/Weak Signal:
  • Ensure batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted in both the tone generator and the probe.
  • Verify proper connection of the tone generator to the cable.
  • Adjust the gain control on the probe to a higher sensitivity setting, especially in quiet environments.
  • In environments with many bundled wires, interference can occur. Try to isolate the cable if possible, or use the continuity test function.
• Inaccurate Tracing:
  • Ensure the tone generator is securely connected and transmitting.
  • Adjust the probe's gain control to reduce interference from adjacent wires.
  • Avoid strong electromagnetic fields that might interfere with the signal.
• Device Not Powering On:
  • Check battery orientation and ensure they are fresh.
  • Inspect battery contacts for corrosion and clean if necessary.
