Introduction
The Magnum Cable Tracker sends a tone down a wire to identify and
trace wires or cables bunched in a group without damaging insulation.
With this tracker, you can find and trace non-energized electrical wires,
telephone lines, data cables, alarm cables, speaker wires, coax,
thermostat wires and more.
Set includes a Sender (MS6812-T) with two alligator clips and an RJ11
plug, Receiver (MS6812-R), user manual and two 9 volt batteries.

Functions
•Test the continuity of cables or wires
•Find a cable in a bunch without damaging insulation
•Trace the tip and ring wires in telephone lines
•Identify the status (clear, busy, ringing) of working telephone
lines
Warning
Do not use this tracker to test energized wires. Disconnect all power
before tracking wires or testing continuity. If you're not sure, consult a
qualified electrician.
Setting tone volume
Turn the dial on the Receiver to adjust tone volume
Changing tone setting
Select a dual alternating tone or a single solid tone with the switch
inside the Sender (MS6812-T)
Replacing batteries
The Sender and Receiver are battery powered. Each requires one 9
volt battery (included). To change the batteries, open the panel on the
back of either component, remove the old battery and replace it with a
new one.

Testing Continuity
The MS6812 can test continuity in either CONT or TONE modes
Set the Sender to CONT
•Connect a lead to each end of the wire you want to test.
•CONT LED will light up to indicate continuity (line resistance
must not exceed 10 kilo-ohms)
Set the Sender to TONE
•Connect the leads to a pair of wires you want to test.
•At the other end, press and hold the button on the Receiver and
touch the wand to each connected wire. The Receiver will sound
a tone to indicate continuity.
Warning
Do not connect to any active AC or DC circuit in this mode
Tracking Cables
Set the Sender to TONE
•Connect the test leads to a pair of wires in a cable
•If you are tracking one wire, attach the red lead to the wire and
the black lead to the ground.
•If you are tracking a telephone wire or data line, use the RJ11 lead
•At the other end, press and hold the button on the Receiver and
touch the wand to each cable in the bunch until the tone sounds.
This indicates that the Receiver is near the connected wire.
Warning
Do not connect to any active circuit in this mode
Identifying the State of Working Telephone Lines
Set the Sender to OFF
Identify TIP and RING
Connect the RED lead to one line and the BLACK lead to another
•If the CONT indicator light turns green, the RED lead is
connected to the RING (negative) side
•If the CONT indicator light turns red, the RED lead is connected
to the TIP (positive) side
Identify CLEAR, RINGING, BUSY State on a
Working Telephone Line
Connect the RED test lead to the RING side. Connect the BLACK lead
to the TIP side
•Line is clear when CONT indicator turns green
•Line is busy when CONT indicator does not light up
•Line is ringing when CONT indicator light flickers bright yellow
•Switch Sender to CONT to end the call
When not in use, switch the Sender to OFF and store the set in a dry,
cool place
Keep it away from test circuitry
Do not use in a high voltage environment
Follow the user's manual at all times. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or damage to the tester
