Purpose of this Manual
This instruction manual is intended to familiarize all personnel

Replacement manuals are available upon request at no charge

Operation
1. Connect the leads of a Greenlee tone-sending test set
(e.g.77HP) as follows:
a. Pair Identification, to the two wires of the pair.
SeeFigure2a.
b. Single Conductor/Cable Tracing: Connect the RED lead to
the subject wire and the BLACK lead to earth or ground.
See Figure 2b.
Note: Refer to the instruction manual provided with the tone
generator for more details.

2. Place the test set in the TONE position.
3. To activate the probe, press and hold the ON/OFF button. This
button must remain depressed to operate. Hold the tip of the
probe near the tone generator and listen for the tone. This
verifies that the tone generator is working and identifies the
sound of the tone (steady, warbling, etc.).
4. Once activated, the volume control can be adjusted to suit
the environment. Reception can be increased to overcome
noise (e.g., vehicular traffic, airplanes, or engine room) or
decreased to reduce interference (e.g., computer/data hum
or AC buzz).
5. The 200EP-G is equipped with recessed terminal ports for
connecting a lineman’s handset. Attaching the handset in
TALK mode automatically activates the amplifier.
6. Touch the tip of the probe to the insulation of each conductor.
Reception of tone will be loudest on the subject wire
and detection may be improved by separating the wires
from the group. If more than one pair or single conductor
is carrying the tone, decrease the volume until only the
subject conductor is left with tone, ensuring that positive
identification has been made.
7. When pair tracing, in order to confirm that the correct pair
has been identified, separate the two wires. The signal will
be as loud on each of the pair wires and will NULL halfway
between the two wires.
8. On the 200EP-G, press the ON/OFF button further to its
second position to turn the flashlight ON. Reduce pressure
slightly to turn it back OFF.
Note: To use the 200EP-G without pressing the ON/OFF button,
connect a jumper, a telephone test set (in TALK mode), or
headset to the recessed tabs near the speaker.
