The KE501 Kit (EasyTest KE500/PROBE510) improves speed and confidence in the installation and maintenance of wiring whether it is for power, telecommunication, alarm or control. EasyTest KE500 unit is fully protected to 500 V AC in TONE mode and up to 240 V AC in CONT mode, though it is not intended to be connected to live AC power lines for tracing. If the voltage on a connected line exceeds approximately 100 V the CONT LED will light as a warning. EasyTest KE500 can transmit either three continous tones (SOLID) or two alternating tones (ALT). The Solid or the Alt function is easily selected from the front panel using the ALT and SOLID buttons. An LED beside the button indicates the selected function. To start or stop the tone, first use the ON/OFF button to switch the unit on, then select the trace tone. The unit can be connected to send the trace tone to any kind of cable, including a live telephone line. EasyTest KE500 comes with removable alligator clips on banana plugs for ease of maintenance and substitution of other clip types. There is an optional modular adapter available for connecting to RJ11- and RJ45-type modular jacks. When switched off EasyTest KE500 will indicate the status of a connected telephone line including: service voltage presence and polarity, idle line, busy line, and incoming ringing. In the CONT position EasyTest KE500 indicates short circuits (zero ohms to 100KOhm). The capacitive PROBE510 is highly sensitive and works well with EasyTest KE500 or any other tone generator to identify and trace wires or cables. The two-position HIGH and LOW volume switch is constructed with a highly dust and moisture resistant mylar membrane for easy, reliable operation. With the HIGH button depressed the PROBE510 can detect a traced cable at lateral distances of up to 100 cm. A more precise location of specific wires is usually done with the LOW button. No experimenting with volume control knobs is needed. The PROBEs conductive tip is molded of a plastic and carbon fiber composite, preventing shorts and other disturbances to lines. This composite probe tip is nearly unbreakable and is easily changed without opening the case. The slender shape allows high precision tracing of pairs, whether in tight bundles or high density wiring blocks. The PROBE510 has a special green LED indicator for use with Kurth EasyTest tone units. This indicator only lights when signals from EasyTest units are detected and has the effect of blocking interfering signals like power hum. The bright, color-correct LED on the probe snout eliminates the need for a separate flashlight in dark spaces.
