3) Connect cable to be traced to main unit. For best signal, do not connect remote. Due to the canceling effect of twisted pairs, the strongest signal is obtained by having one wire of a pair carry tone. Selecting a single pin instead of a pair will do this. 4) To turn tone off, press the MODE button until OFF is displayed, then the SEL button. - Page 7 Miswire – Single or multiple conductors are not connected to the same pins at both ends of the cable. With a remote attached, the wire map shows the pin numbers from display line 1 (main) to display line 2 (remote). A reverse pair is a special case of a miswire in which the pair is wired to the correct pair of pins, but the two conductors are reversed.
