Triplett Fox 2 – PN: 3382 - Manual (Page 12)

To test for continuity, select the desired mode (either AU-
DIBLE CONT or VISUAL CONT / TALK) and then connect the
clip leads to the circuit to be tested. If there is continuity,
either the beeper will sound or the VISUAL CONT / TALK
LED will light.
Helpful Hints:
The FOX 2’s 120VAC protection circuitry may prevent the
continuity beeper or LED from sounding or lighting if the
clip leads are connected to the circuit to be tested before the
FOX 2’s switch is set to the AUDIBLE CONT or VISUAL CONT
/ TALK position. To use the FOX 2’s continuity testing fea-
tures, set the switch on the FOX 2 to the AUDIBLE CONT or
VISUAL CONT / TALK position before connecting the FOX 2
to the circuit to be tested.
If the circuit being tested has AC or DC voltage present, the
FOX 2 may not identify continuity correctly.
Battery Test:
A continuous battery test is performed while in the FOX 2 is
in the TRACER TONE mode. If the battery is good, the BAT-
TERY TEST LED will flash. If the battery is weak, the LED will
not flash.
Helpful Hints:
The FOX 2 will often work in the TRACER TONE mode long
after the LED has stopped flashing. However, for the stron-
gest tracer signal, the battery should be replaced soon after
the LED stops flashing.
