Triplett Fox 2 & Hound 3 – PN: 3399 User Manual

Page 19

Lights will be bright, and the HOUND 3’s Speaker (LL) will
produce a loud, strong, signal from the FOX 2. As the bat-
tery is drained, the signal from the FOX 2 will not sound as
loud in the HOUND 3’s Speaker. When the Lights begin to
dim, the battery should be replaced.

7.3: A Few Basic Tests
Turn on the FOX 2 by pressing the UNLOCK button and slid-
ing the Function Switch to the TRACER TONE position. Set
the WARBLE / PULSE button (I) to WARBLE. This is the
position that most users prefer for wire location and trac-
ing.

Rotate the HOUND 3’s Sensitivity Control (FF) to its mid-
position. Turn on HOUND 3 by pressing and holding the
Power Button (EE). Bring the HOUND 3’s probe (AA or BB)
near the FOX 2’s alligator clips. The warbling signal from the
FOX 2 should be heard in the HOUND 3’s Speaker (LL). Ad-
just the Sensitivity Control for the desired loudness. Move
the probe of the HOUND 3 closer to and farther away from
the FOX 2’s alligator clips. Notice how the loudness of the
warble sound increases, and how the brightness of the Sig-
nal Strength Indicator (DD) increases as the probe ap-
proaches the alligator clips.

In general, the HOUND 3 is used by bringing it into proxim-
ity with the wire/cable that the FOX 2 is connected to, listen-
ing for the TONE signal from the FOX 2, and moving the
HOUND 3 in such a manner as to increase the loudness of
the TONE signal from the HOUND 3’s speaker . . . i.e. search-
ing for the loudest TONE signal.
