This Velleman Cable Tracker with Tone Generator is designed for technicians and DIY enthusiasts needing to locate cables and identify breaks within them. Its primary benefit is simplifying cable tracing with audible and visual feedback. A potential limitation is its reliance on signal detection, which can be affected by environmental interference. The device includes a tone generator and a probe, offering three signal viewing modes: lamp, speaker, or both, and comes assembled and tested in a soft carrying case.

This device is suitable for tracing most common low-voltage communication and signal cables, such as telephone lines, network cables, and audio cables. It is not designed for high-voltage power lines.
If the probe stops detecting the tone signal while you are scanning along the cable's path, it indicates an interruption or break at that point.
While you can use it outdoors, it is not rated for outdoor environmental conditions. Protect it from moisture and extreme temperatures. Ambient electrical noise from external sources may also affect performance.
The product information does not specify if batteries are included. It is recommended to have appropriate batteries on hand for immediate use.
The detection range depends on factors such as cable type, insulation, and environmental electrical noise. For best results, keep the probe close to the cable.
The three modes (lamp, speaker, both) allow you to choose the most effective way to detect the tone based on your environment and preference. The speaker provides an audible cue, the lamp a visual one, and using both offers confirmation.
Ensure the tone generator is powered on and properly connected to the cable. Verify the probe is in close proximity to the cable. Check the probe's signal mode selection and battery level.
Check the battery levels of both the tone generator and the probe. Move the probe closer to the cable. Reduce ambient electrical noise if possible. Ensure the cable is not broken.
Verify that the tone generator has fresh batteries and is switched on. Check the connection between the generator and the cable.
Ensure the probe is set to use the lamp mode or a combined mode. Check the probe's battery level. If the issue persists, the lamp may be faulty.
