Blocks Out “Power Line Hum” Works With Any Tone Generator Any technician who has ever worked around powered lines and equipment will instantly see the value of the Filter Probe. Tone signals that were lost in a sea of hissing and buzzing AC interference will become crystal clear. With three types of noise filtration, the Filter Probe virtually eliminates power related noise from the tone-and-probe operation. By selectively Filtering out all 60Hz and 60Hz harmonics, the 200FP can be used with any tone generator for faster, more accurate, cable and wire identification. The 220FP Filter Probe’s patented design offers: Slim, comfortable design for use in limited space areas Powerful “rear-fire” speaker Recessed on/off push 6utton control to conserve battery life Adjustable sensitivity/volume control to increase accuracy Switch to select normal or filter operation Blended carbon/plastic tip to reduce the risk of shorting terminals Recessed tabs for buttset or headset connection easy access probe tip and battery replacement Convenient wrist lanyard

Designed for Use With Any Progressive Electronics Tone-And-Probe Combination

Applications in All Wiring And Cabling Industries Fast, Accurate Wire Identification When it comes to tone generators, more technicians choose Progressive Electronics over any other brand. By applying a tone signal to a wire pair or single conductor, and used with an inductive amplifier (probe), the tone generator permits technicians to identify that conductor within a bundle, at a cross-connect point, or at the remote end. These tone generators can be used on twisted pair wiring (telecom, datacom, etc.), single conductors, coaxial cables, de-energized AC wiring, and just about any other wiring you can think of. All 77 Series Tone Generators provide the four basic functions of tone signal, continuity testing, talk battery supply, and line polarity confirmation. In addition to its bent nose piercing clips, the newly re-designed 77HP/6A now offers increased talk battery supply and higher voltage protection. With our models to choose from, you can select the tone generator that best fits your needs.

Can Be Used With Any Tone Generator Simplifies Wire And Cable Identification Used in conjunction with any tone generators, the units permit wire and cable identification without having to make direct metallic contact with the conductor. Powerful receiver gain permits accurate identification in even the most congested cable bundles and equipment rooms. The 200EP includes a powerful, two inch speaker which eliminates the need for additional buttsets or headsets, and a recessed, on/off push button control. The Model 200B provides traditional probe features including a nickel plated, brass probe tip for maximum signal reception. The Model 200EP offers adjustable volume control for more precise identification when tone signal “bleed” is affecting the identification process. Additionally, the 200EP includes recessed tabs for buttset or headset connection that, when connected, bypass the probe’s speaker. This is especially useful when working in noisy environments or at locations where the speaker noise may disturb customers. Its unique tip incorporates a blended carbon compound that reduces conductivity without sacrificing performance and minimizes the risk of shorting terminals.

Simple To Set Up And Use Applications In All Industries The kit consists of the 77HP High Power Tone Generator, the 200EP Inductive Amplifier, and the rugged 700C woven polyester carrying case. All kit components are available individually.

The AT series tone generators make it simple to test any configuration of pairs in 8 position modular jacks and plugs. The AT8K AdapToner Kit which includes the ATB, 200EP Inductive Amplifier and 700C carrying case.

Tone Through Splitters Identify Non-tagged or Mis-tagged Cable Drops Designed specifically for the CATV industry, the Model 402K will send tone through any passive device along the cable path. Now you can tone through splitters, directional couplers and traps. No more long delays trying to figure out non-tagged or mis-tagged cable drops. The model 402K is simple to use and provides fast, accurate results. The transmitter and receiver are equipped with female F-connectors and the kit provides both audible and LED test and tone indications. The addition of optional adapter test leads allows the 402K to be used on distribution cables as well as wire pairs or single conductors. With its user defined tone output, up to four 402T Toner units can be used simultaneously for tracing multiple cable runs. As a display to indicate resistance levels. The unit will even identify the presence of AC or DC voltage on the cable under test. The newly designed 402R receiver provides three methods of signal reception: electrostatic pickup for non-terminated cables, electromagnetic pickup for terminated or shorted cables, and direct connection when identifying in the presence of passive devices.
Each kit consists of: one transmitter, one receiver, one male F-to-F connector adapter cable, one male F-to-alligator clip adapter cable, and a 700C carrying case.

Just Plug It In, Push The Button, Read The Results! The LanMaster 30 is an essential tool for any user responsible for managing, installing or maintaining network or telecom systems. Applications Installation - Verify that an outlet is functional after punching down a new connection. Moves, Adds and Changes (MACS) - Identify correct outlet before connecting equipment. Cable/Network Testing - Verify no damaging voltages are present before connecting expensive Cable Testers or Protocol Analyzers Network Management - Identify/label outlet connections and update cabling plant documentation. Product Overview The LanMaster 30 Outlet Identifier is designed to quickly identify the type of network or telephone connections present on the RJ-45 jacks of a wall outlet. The Model 30 will identify a 10baseT Link, 100baseTX Link, Token Ring Link, Analog Telephone Line, PBX Line or an ISDN Line. The unit will also warn the user if unidentified signals are present at the jack or if the jack is not connected. Connecting equipment to an untested wall outlet can damage the installed device if the outlet does not have a compatible electrical interface. Many PBX systems can supply voltage and current levels that far exceed the limits of modems or network devices resulting in equipment failure when connected. Knowing the type of connection available at an outlet not only protects against equipment damage, but also reduces time wasted troubleshooting physical layer problems. The LanMaster 30 scans all eight wires connected to an RJ-45 outlet to identify the type of system connected or the presence of potentially harmful unknown signals Identifying outlet connections with the Model 30 eliminates guessing at which is the correct outlet or wasting time tracing cables. The LanMaster 30 makes installing and maintaining network and telecom systems easier and safer. The LanMaster 30 has eight LEDs which indicate the following: 10T - 10baseT device 100T - 100baseT device TR - Token Ring TEL - Analog telephone line PBX - PBX telephone line ISDN - ISDN telephone line SIGNAL - Signals are present but are not identified NO LINK - No signals are present on any of the 8 wires Note: both the 10T and 100T LEDs will light if the device is configured for 10/100 auto-negotiation

Product Overview The LanMaster Models 20 and 25 are designed to provide LAN Installers and Maintainers a tool to quickly test Fast Ethernet (100base TX) and Standard Ethernet (10baseT). In just 3 seconds the LANMASTER decodes the link signals and displays the exact configuration and signal types of the equipment connected to the link. The Model 20 and 25 are used for the following Applications
1.New Installations/Moves, Adds and Changes/Troubleshooting Identify live outlets in multi-outlet wall plates Certify operating modes of connected equipment are compatible Confirm Network Interface Card is functioning Verify transmit-receive pairs are assigned correctly (LAN or NIC polarity) Provide a “No Link” indication for Links with reversed pairs Identify equipment with fault conditions 2.Network Management Determine configuration of equipment prior to upgrading Identify dead drops for re-assignment 3.The Model 25 also verifies Link connectivity to the far end, tests for reported faults, determines polarity of the outlet or cable, transmits Link Signals for identifying a connected port and generates an audio tone for tracing cables with a tone probe. See page D-5 for probes to be used for signal tracing.
