1: Introduction
The FOX 2 and HOUND 3 wire tracing kit consists of a pre-
mium FOX 2 Tone Generator (Toner) and a newly designed
HOUND 3 Inductive Amplifier (Probe). The FOX 2 is a bat-
tery operated handheld lightweight multi-function Toner that
generates multiple tones, performs some basic telephone
line tests (loop mA and line polarity), provides a visual and
audible continuity test, and incorporates Triplett’s True Trace
and TripLatch tests. The HOUND 3 is a battery operated
handheld lightweight Probe, with a thumbwheel Sensitivity
control and Signal Strength indicator LED. It improves on
previous designs (the HOUND and HOUND 2) with built-in
LED illuminators, a bandpass filter, an earphone jack, and
an easy access battery cover. An included convenient carry-
ing case (with belt loop attachment) provides ease of use
and protective storage for the FOX 2 and HOUND 3.
