1. Carbon Fiber Probe Tip: Used to detect the tone signal.
2. Volume Adjustment Wheel: Controls the loudness of the speaker output.
3. LED adierazlea: Illuminates to indicate power or signal detection.
4. Piztu/Itzali botoia: Press and hold to activate the ampbiziagoa.
5. Hizlaria: Emits the audible tone when a signal is detected.
6. Dual Connector: Port for connecting a headset or telephone test set (not included).

2.2 Tone Generator Unit

The tone generator unit features multiple connection options for various cable types:

• RJ11/RJ45 Port: For connecting to network or telephone cables.
• Alligator Clip Leads: For connecting to individual wires or terminals.
• Modu aldaketa: Selects between Tone, Off, Continuity, and Polarity test modes.
• Bateriaren konpartimendua: Houses the 9V battery (not included).

3. Konfigurazioa eta bateriaren instalazioa

Both the Tone Generator and the Inductive Amplifier require 9V batteries for operation. Batteries are not included with the kit.

3.1 Battery Installation (Both Units)

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of each unit.
2. Carefully slide or unclip the cover to open it.
3. Connect a 9V battery to the battery clip, ensuring correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
4. Place the battery inside the compartment.
5. Jarri berriro bateriaren konpartimentuaren estalkia, ondo itxita dagoela ziurtatuz.

Oharra: Always use fresh 9V alkaline batteries for optimal performance. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

The Chaoos 200EP kit offers several functions for cable testing and tracing.

4.1 Wire Tracing (Tone Generation)

This function is used to identify and trace a specific wire or cable within a bundle.

1. Konektatu tonu-sortzailea:
   • For RJ11/RJ45 cables: Plug the appropriate connector from the tone generator into the cable or port you wish to trace.
   • For individual wires: Use the alligator clips to connect the tone generator to the wire(s) you want to trace. Connect one clip to the wire and the other to a known ground or another wire in the pair.
2. Select Tone Mode: Set the switch on the tone generator to the "TONE" position. The generator will begin emitting an audible signal.
3. Use the Inductive Ampbiziagoa:
   • Turn on the inductive amplifier by pressing and holding the On/Off button. The LED indicator may illuminate.
   • Adjust the volume wheel to a comfortable listening level.
   • Carefully sweep the carbon fiber probe tip along the cable bundle or near the suspected wire.
   • Listen for the tone emitted by the amplifier's speaker. The tone will be loudest when the probe is closest to the wire carrying the signal from the tone generator.
4. Identifikatu kablea: Once the loudest tone is detected, you have successfully identified the target cable.

4.2 Jarraitasun-probak

This function checks for an unbroken path in a circuit or cable.

1. Konektatu tonu-sortzailea: Use the alligator clips to connect the tone generator across the two points you want to test for continuity.
2. Hautatu jarraitutasun modua: Set the switch on the tone generator to the "CONTINUITY" position.
3. Emaitzak interpretatu:
   • If there is continuity (a complete circuit), the tone generator will emit a steady tone.
   • If there is no continuity (an open circuit), no tone will be heard.

4.3 Polarity Testing

This function determines the polarity of a DC voltage lerro batean.

1. Konektatu tonu-sortzailea: Use the alligator clips to connect the tone generator to the two points where you want to test polarity.
2. Select Polarity Mode: Set the switch on the tone generator to the "POLARITY" position.
3. Emaitzak interpretatu: The LED indicators on the tone generator will show the polarity. Consult the markings on the device for specific positive and negative indications.

Kontuz: This device is primarily for low voltage conditions (below 24V). Do not use on live circuits with high voltage to avoid damage to the device or personal injury.

5. Mantentzea

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your Chaoos 200EP kit.

• Garbiketa: Garbitu unitateak zapi leun eta lehor batekin. Ez erabili garbitzaile edo disolbatzaile urratzailerik.
• Biltegiratzea: Store the kit in its carrying pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Bateria ordezkatzea: Replace batteries when the tone becomes weak or the LED indicators dim. Always remove batteries if the device is not in use for extended periods.
• Zundaketaren aholkua: The carbon fiber probe tip is durable but can be damaged by excessive force. Handle with care.
