The FOX 2 and HOUND 3 wire tracing kit consists of a premium FOX 2 Tone Generator (Toner) and a newly designed HOUND 3 Inductive Amplifier (Probe). The FOX 2 is a battery operated handheld lightweight multi-function Toner
that generates multiple tones, performs some basic telephone line tests (loop mA and line polarity), provides a visual and audible continuity test, and incorporates Triplett's True Trace and TripLatch tests. The HOUND 3 is a
battery operated handheld lightweight Probe, with a thumbwheel Sensitivity control and Signal Strength indicator LED. It improves on previous designs (the HOUND and HOUND 2) with built-in LED illuminators, a bandpass filter, an earphone jack, and an easy access battery cover. An included convenient carrying case (with belt loop attachment) provides ease of use and
protective storage for the FOX 2 and HOUND 3.
When used together, the FOX 2 and HOUND 3 aids in identifying, locating, and tracing wires, cables, and other conductors. When the FOX 2 is used to apply a "tone" to a wire, the HOUND 3 can usually locate the wire inside of, or behind electrically non-conductive surfaces (plastic, wood, drywall, etc), up to 12 inches away. The HOUND 3 does not have to contact a wire to
identify it..... i.e no stripping needed. FOXs and HOUNDs have been used in the telephone, electrical, security, sound reinforcement, video, automotive, and boating industries, to name a few.
Key Features of the FOX 2
"TrueTrace" - Cadence of tracer tone changes when pair is momentarily shorted, allowing for definite ID of target wire pair
Cordless Phone Interface - use a standard cordless phone for hands-free "TrueTrace"!
3 Methods of Connectivity: RJ-11 plug for tracing Telephone lines, RJ-45 Jack for tracing LAN cables (trace BNC cables w/ optional RJ-45 to BNC adaptor) and Alligator clips for connection to stripped wires or terminal
panels
"Trip-Latch" a unique latch testing technique using "TrueTrace" for testing Alarm Sensors
Overload Protected - 120VAC Line Cross Protection
Overload Warning Beeper - alerts user to potential hazards
