Product Description
As networks have increased in complexity, so too have cable installations, with dozens and sometimes hundreds of cables running together throughout a home or office setting. As a result, it can be a serious hassle to add, replace, or even identify cables within a bundled voice, data and video installation. Enter the IntelliTone 200 digital toner and probe, which is specifically designed to safely and effectively trace cables hidden in floors, ceilings, walls, and bundles--even on active networks. The unit's digital signal-locating technology clearly identifies the unique signal with audio and LED visual indicators, making it as advanced as the systems it analyzes.
One of the problems with traditional analog probes is that they have trouble identifying signal bleed from one cable to another. Thus, isolating cables with analog tools requires guesswork, training, and time for repeated testing, and even the best efforts often result in mistakes. The IntelliTone 200 kit, on the other hand, decisively rejects noise and false signals while correctly isolating any cable within a bundle, whether coaxial (RG6, RG9, and other cable TV cables) or bare (such as speaker wire and security network wire). The unit also validates twisted-pair installations (UTP, Cat 5e, Cat 6) with a visual end-to-end cable map--a great way to determine whether a twisted pair is miswired.
The IntelliTone 200 works by employing a smart, synchronized digital signal that searches for several tone types in the signal. It can detect maximum radiation within a bundle, it can search for a signal with minimum radiation, or it can seek an automated signal that steps through each conductor. The device is also designed to ignore the noise produced by fluorescent lights, machinery, computer monitors, and electrical wiring, so you can quickly isolate the proper signal and save hours on cable location projects. And unlike analog signals, the IntelliTone digital signal stays strong despite the use of "common mode termination" among modern network devices. "Common mode determination" is designed to reduce noise and crosstalk in the cable, but can absorb an analog toner signal. No such problem with the IntelliTone's digital signal.
The device can also diagnose and troubleshoot telecom/data services, telling you whether an RJ11 or RJ45 jack is a datacom jack, a phone jack, or a dead outlet. The IntelliTone 200 toner is designed to detect telephone and Ethernet service, indicate polarity and active line numbers on voice circuits, and indicate active pair numbers on Ethernet circuits. Finally, the IT200 toner and probe provide such standard functions as visual and audible signal strength indicators, legacy 1 kHz analog toning and detection, continuity testing, and talk battery power for telephone line testing.
Additional features include a three-level battery status indicator LED ; an auto/off feature that shuts down the toner after 2-1/2 hours of inactivity; and compatibility with analog toner/probe kits. The toner measures 2.94 by 5.54 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D), while the probe checks in at 8.73 by 1.88 by 1.26 inches.
Included with this Product IntelliTone 200 toner, IntelliTone 200 probe, coaxial F connector adapter, two RJ11 patch cables, two RJ45 patch cables, test leads with alligator clips, two lanyards, two 9-volt batteries, CD-ROM with quick-start guide and user's manual.
Product Description
Now combines digital and analog toning in one tool! Only IntelliTone™ Pro Toners and Probes offer the powerful combination of digital and analog technologies to resolve common infrastructure problems that arise during installing, maintaining, and changing of your network. Today's media networks are more diverse than ever. Most buildings have a combination of telephone, twisted-pair data, coax, and security/alarm wiring. Verifying proper routing and termination of this diverse set of cabling types requires tools optimized for different frequencies, connector types, and work environments. Until now, no single tool has combined the right technologies to operate across all copper media types, and in all environments. IntelliTone™ Pro changes that by combining cutting-edge digital and analog signaling to locate and verify virtually any copper cable, regardless of application or environment. IntelliTone™ 200 Kit (adds the following functionality) Identifies and verifies Ethernet service Verifies twisted-pair installation with visual end-to-end continuity test Identifies, diagnoses, and troubleshoots datacom/telecom services RJ45 input port and CableMap feature allows toner to plug directly into patch panel or wall port Specifications: Operating temperature: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) Vibration: Random, 2 g, 5 Hz-500 Hz Shock: 1m drop test with and without module Safety: EN 61010-1 1st Edition + Amendments 1, 2 EMC: EN 61326-1 Battery type
