Tempo 701K-G/6A Tone and Probe Kit with ABN Clips
The Tempo Communications 701K-G/6A Tone and Probe Tracing Kit is a professional-grade testing solution designed for accurately identifying single conductors and cables within large bundles, at cross-connection points, and at remote ends. This comprehensive kit features the industry-standard 200EP-G tone probe and the 77HP-G/6A high-powered tone generator, equipped with ABN (Angled Bed of Nails) clips for secure, piercing connections to wire insulation.
Key Components and Features
- 200EP-G Tone Probe: Provides a nominal gain of 30dB with an input impedance of approximately 100MΩ. It includes an integrated LED flashlight for working in dimly lit telecom enclosures, a 3.5mm stereo plug for headset use in noisy environments, and includes both plastic and metal replaceable tips (300Ω tip resistance).
- 77HP-G/6A Tone Generator: Delivers 10dBm of output power and includes a 4.6 VDC talk battery. It offers 150 VDC voltage protection, an audible continuity test, external warble select, and a built-in RJ11/RJ45 socket. Built-in diagnostics include visual indication for 10kΩ resistive shorts and audio indication for 200Ω resistive shorts.
