the wires may diverge from the path of the receiver. Before
assuming that the open has been located, try finding the
signal nearby or in an adjacent attached wall or ceiling. Also
keep in mind that it may not be possible to find the open in
all situations, because of the number variables involved.
LOCATING AN OPEN
FAULT IN A SINGLE LINE

Helpful Hints:
A “live” telephone line prevents TrueTrace from working cor-
rectly. To get TrueTrace to work on a “live” telephone line,
the FOX 2 must be connected in Reverse polarity.
A pair of wires with an “open” may allow the tracer tone to
appear at the far end of the pair, despite the open fault. In
this situation, TrueTrace will not work, even though it is ap-
plied to the target pair.
