Ideal Industries 33-864 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What comes in the Ideal 33-864 tone and probe kit?
The 33-864 kit pairs the 62-164 amplifier probe with the 62-160 tone generator, and adds a carrying case, accessories, and 9V batteries so it works out of the box. Alligator clips are included for putting tone on de-energized copper, plus RJ-11/12 and F port connections on the generator.
2) Can I use this tone generator on coax, or is it only for phone and network cable?
Both. The generator has an F port for coax alongside the RJ-11/12 jack for twisted pair, and the alligator clips let you tone any de-energized copper run: speaker wire, alarm cable, or general electrical. That covers the three cable families most low-voltage techs trace on a service call.
3) Can I hook this up to live circuit wiring to trace it?
No. The alligator clips are rated for de-energized copper only, so kill the circuit before clipping on. Toning a hot conductor is outside what this kit is built for.
4) Why does a tone generator need three different tone settings?
In a full bundle or a packed telecom closet, a single tone bleeds onto neighboring pairs and every one of them sounds live. Switching tone patterns on the 62-160 generator gives you a distinct signature to chase, which cuts down on false positives when cables run together over long distances.
5) Will this kit let me check a cable end to end without a second person?
Yes. The 62-160 generator has a continuity test setting, so you can verify a run is intact before you go hunting for the far end. There is also a talk set power position on the generator if you do have a second tech on the other end and want voice communication down the pair.
6) How do I find a toned cable in a noisy mechanical room?
Use the volume knob on the 62-164 amplifier probe. It is a variable control, not a fixed level, so you can turn it down close to the target to isolate the one cable carrying tone, or bring it up when you are sweeping a large bundle in a quiet ceiling.
7) Does the tone generator shut itself off if I leave it clipped on a cable?
It does. There is a three hour auto-off, which matters when you clip the generator at a panel on one floor and spend the afternoon probing on another. You still get the battery back if you forget it.
8) Is Ideal 33-864 the model number I order, and does it come more than one way?
33-864 is the single orderable model for this PRO amplifier probe and tone generator kit from Ideal Industries. There are no finish, length, or configuration options to pick, so the part number is all you need on a PO.
