This Proster Wire Tracker is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts in network engineering, home installation, and telecommunications to efficiently trace and find network cables. Its key benefit is the ability to quickly and accurately identify specific cable pairs among many, perform various cable tests, and diagnose issues with its audio and LED indicators, even in noisy or dark environments. A key caveat is that it does not support testing of live wires.

No, this Proster Wire Tracker is not designed for testing live wires. Always ensure that the cables you are testing are de-energized before use.
Connect the emitter to the desired cable. Turn up the receiver's volume and use the LED indicator. Follow the strongest audio tone and brightest LED signal, which will lead you to the target cable.
This tracker is suitable for telephone wires, computer network cables (like Ethernet), and TV cables. It is not intended for power cords or other high-voltage applications.
First, check if the receiver is powered on and if the volume is turned up. Ensure the emitter is correctly connected and sending a signal. Test the batteries in both the emitter and receiver.
The flashlight is typically a button on the receiver unit. Press it to illuminate your work area, especially useful in dark environments like under desks or in wall cavities.
DC level testing allows you to measure the direct current voltage present on a cable, which can be useful for diagnosing certain types of network or telephone line issues.
Earphone support is included, meaning you can plug in your own earphones. This is recommended for testing in very noisy environments to clearly hear the signal indications.
Ensure the emitter is properly connected and powered on. Check that the receiver volume is turned up. Verify the cable is not live and has continuity. Test the receiver and emitter batteries.
Make sure the emitter is securely attached to the correct cable. Reduce ambient noise if possible, or use earphones. Ensure the receiver is held close to the cables being scanned.
Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if they are old or depleted.
Ensure the cable is not live. Verify the test leads are making good contact with the cable conductors. Check the battery level of the device.
Setup: Connect the emitter to the cable you wish to trace. Ensure the emitter and receiver are powered on. Adjust the receiver's volume to a comfortable level. Select the appropriate testing mode if needed. Use the receiver's audio and LED indicators to follow the signal to the target cable. For testing continuity or shorts, connect the appropriate leads as indicated by the device's port labels.
Compatibility: This device is designed for use with telephone wires, computer network cables (e.g., Ethernet cables), and TV cables. Important: It is not designed for testing live wires; always ensure power is disconnected from the cables being tested.
Care: Keep the device clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents. Store in a protective case or its original packaging when not in use to prevent damage. Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator is displayed.
