Triplett Fox 2 & Hound 3 – PN: 3399 - Manual (Page 3)

When used together, the FOX 2 and HOUND 3 aids in identi-
fying, locating, and tracing wires, cables, and other conduc-
tors. When the FOX 2 is used to apply a “tone” to a wire, the
HOUND 3 can usually locate the wire inside of, or behind
electrically non-conductive surfaces (plastic, wood, drywall,
etc), up to 12 inches away. The HOUND 3 does not have to
contact a wire to identify it….. i.e no stripping needed. FOXs
and HOUNDs have been used in the telephone, electrical,
security, sound reinforcement, video, automotive, and boat-
ing industries, to name a few.
