Triplett Fox & Hound Jr. – PN: 3375 - Manual (Page 26)

Note: Even with the FOX Jr’s alligator clips
shorted out, the case of the FOX Jr will still ra-
diate some warble TONE. Do not confuse this
with the warble TONE coming from the alligator
clips. Perform a few experiments by shorting
out the clips and probing the FOX Jr with the
HOUND Jr so you know what to expect.
9.1.5 Tracing Wires within a Cable
When searching for specific wires within a
bundle or cable, it is necessary to separate the
individual wires apart from each other at the end
of the cable opposite the FOX Jr location. Probe
the wires with the HOUND Jr, attempting to iden-
tify the wire with the strongest TONE on it. Ad-
just the HOUND Jr’s thumbwheel as necessary.
It is not necessary to pierce the insulation of
the wire. The wire with the strongest warble
TONE is the target wire. In some cases, crosstalk
into the other wires will make it difficult to de-
termine which wire has the strongest TONE on
it. Use the Remote Tone Kill method, previously
described, to identify the target wire.
