  • TrueTrace” - Cadence of tracer tone changes when pair is momentarily shorted, allowing for definite ID of target wire pair
  • Cordless Phone Interface - allows user to 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)
    • Alligator clips for connection to stripped wires or terminal panels
  • Overload Protected - 120VAC Line Cross Protection on all Functions
  • Overload Warning Beeper - alerts user to potential hazards
  • Warble/Pulse Tracer Tone - Selectable tone for audible& visual ID using Hound or Hound 2 Probe Inductive Tracer
  • High Output Tracer Tone
  • Generates 2 of 6 user selectable Tracer Tones Internal User Selectable Settings - HI/LO Pitch Shift, Warble Continuous Tracer Tone, On/Off Audio Pilot Tone, On/Off Cadence Shift
  • Tone/Battery LED - indicates that Tracer Tone is on and battery is OK
  • Audio Pilot Tone - confirms the Tracer Toner signal
  • Visual & Audible Continuity Test
  • Red/Green Telephone Line Polarity LEDs - also indicates AC/RING Signal
  • Supplies “Talk Power” to allow communicating between handsets (talksets) or powering a telephone
  • Line powered in Tone Mode
  • Built in Telephone Ringer
  • “Power Latch” - prevents accidental turn-ons maximizing battery life
  • Magnetic Back - stick the Fox 2 to steel surfaces
  • Works with either Hound or Hound 2 Probe Inductive Tracer

Deluxe Tone Generator with "TrueTrace". A Quick, Easy and Economical way to trace Wires & Cables of all kinds including: Electrical Wire, Twisted Pair, LAN Cable, Coax Cable, Multi-Conductor Cable, Telephone Cable, Speaker Wire, Alarm Cable, plus many, many more.

The FOX 2 is the next generation version of Triplett’s popular FOX Tone Generator. The FOX 2 incorporates numerous improvements, born from years of experience with the original FOX design, and from working with our customers to provide cable tracing solutions. Many new features like TrueTrace and 120VAC Line Cross protection are time saving and convenient for the user. In addition, unique features of the original FOX design, like the Line Powered Tone Generation mode, are retained. The FOX 2 sets a new standard for cable tracing technology.

Protection: Tolerates momentary 120VAC Line Cross without damage.
Tracer Tone (with fresh battery):
Waveform: Differentiated Square Wave
Level: Approx. 12Vpp (+5dBu, 600 Ohm) into an open circuit (unterminated cable or telephone line) Approx. 4Vpp (-20dBm) into a 600 Ohm
TrueTrace
Cadence: Slow, approx 2Hz
Fast, approx 7Hz
Response Time: 500 milliseconds max at 100 Ohms or less 1 second max at 10K Ohms
Threshold: 10K Ohms or less
 
Protection: Tolerates momentary 120VAC Line Cross without damage.
Connections: RJ-45 Jack for connection to LAN cable RJ-45 to RJ-11 Adaptor Cable for connection to telephone line Color Coded Alligator Clips for connection to stripped wires or terminals RJ-11 Plug for connection to Wireless Telephone
Wireless Telephone Interface:
Tracer Tone signal is applied to RJ-11 plug for connection to wireless phone base station. Level is approx. -20dBm when connected to the base station. Loop current is not supplied.
Visual Continuity
Threshold: Typically 2K Ohms w/ new 9V battery
Open Circuit Voltage: 10v max.
Test Current: 30mA max
Audible Continuity
Threshold: Typically 500 to 1000 Ohms w/ new battery
Open Circuit Voltage: 10V max.
Test Current: 60mA max
Talk Power
Current with 1K Loop: Typically 5mA w/ new 9V battery
Open Circuit Voltage: 10v max.
Current (Short Circuit): 30mA max
120VAC Warning:
When in the OFF / POLARITY mode, the Red and Green Polarity LEDs light simultaneously when 120VAC is present. The 9V battery may or may not be installed. In all modes, the beeper sounds in staccato fashion, i.e. beep-beep-beep-beep etc. The 9V battery must be good for this to work. The applied voltage must not exceed 132VAC 60Hz or damage to the product and user injury may result.
 
Cables / Wires Tested: Alligator Clips: Typically 10 inches long
Power
Telephone Line Powered Operation: Tone Generator operates without 9V battery installed. Operates from standard telephone line (46 to 53V, 400 to 1800 Ohms) in normal or reverse polarity.
Battery : Standard 9V Alkaline Battery
Battery Life: Approx. 100 hours continuous in Tone Generator mode
Weight:

Typically 6 ounces including battery

Size: 3.75"H x 2.5"W x 1.25"T
