Description
The 77M-G, 77HP-G, and 77HP-G/6A Tone Generators are
intended to identify the conductor within a bundle, at a cross-
connect point, or at the remote end. These testers are housed
in high impact plastic cases, and each is powered by one
9 volt battery. Standard test leads include red and black rubber
insulated test clips and a snag-proof, four-conductor modular
cord and plug. (77HP-G/6A offers angled bed-of-nails clips.)
A three-position toggle switch controls the modes of operation,
and bi-colored Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) display line polarity
for Lines 1 and 2 (Line 1 only for 77M-G). When a short circuit is
detected, an audible signal will be heard (77HP only). The tone
and short circuit test functions are only applied to Line 1 using
the modular plug.
A tone selector switch (Figure 3), located inside each unit and
accessible from the outside using a slender tool, may be used to
select a fast or slow warble tone output.
The test sets are compatible with all common Central Office
Switching Systems, and the output tone is isolated from DC
voltages.

Operation
Electric shock hazard:
• When the tone generator is plugged into a modular jack,
potentially hazardous voltage from the telephone line is
present on the alligator test leads.
• Before opening the case, remove the test leads from the
circuit and shut off the unit.
Failure to observe this warning could result in injury and can
damage the instrument.
All of the following tests can be performed by using the red and
black test leads (as described) or the modular plug.
Note: When using the modular test plug, the polarity test
function applies to Lines 1 and 2 USOC (Line 1 only for 77M-G).
The continuity and tone functions
only
apply to Line 1.
