KE301 Kit (EASYTEST300/PROBE310)
improves speed and confidence in the installation and maintenance of wiring whether it is for power, telecommunication, alarm or control.

EASYTEST300
can transmit either three continuous tones (SOLID) or two alternating tones (ALT). The Solid or the Alt function is easily selected from the front panel using the ALT and SOLID buttons. An LED beside each button indicates the selected function. To start or stop the tone, first use the ON/OFF button to switch the unit on, then select the trace tone. The unit can be connected to send the trace tone to any kind of cable, including a live telephone line.

EASYTEST300 can trace live telephone circuits and is protected from damage up to 120 Vac in TONE Mode and up to 240 Vac in CONT Mode. Easytest300 provides durable alligator clips and a snag-proof RJ11 modular plug with strain relief for reliability. This special modular plug has protection slots for pins 1 and 8 that will fit RJ45 jacks without damaging them.

When turned off EASYTEST300 will indicate the status of a connected telephone line including: service voltage presence and polarity, idle line, busy line, and incoming ringing. In the CONT position EASYTEST300 also indicates short circuits (zero ohms to 100KOhm). EASYTEST300 works with one alkaline battery for up to 100 hours.

The capacitive
PROBE310
is highly sensitive and works well with EASYTEST300 or any other tone generator to identify and trace wires or cables. The two-position HIGH and LOW volume switch is constructed with a highly dust and moisture resistant mylar membrane for easy, reliable operation. With the HIGH button depressed the PROBE310 can detect a traced cable at lateral distances of up to 100 cm. A more precise location of specific wires is usually done with the LOW button. No user experimentation with volume control knobs is needed.

The probe’s conductive tip is molded of a plastic and carbon fiber composite, preventing shorts and other disturbances to lines. This composite probe tip is nearly unbreakable and is easily changed without opening the case. The slender shape allows high precision tracing of pairs, whether in tight bundles or high density wiring blocks.

To increase the audibility or reduce noise the Probe310 can be used with the optional, light-weight earpiece.

The Probe310 has a special green LED indicator for use with Kurth EasyTest tone units. This indicator only lights when signals from EasyTest units are detected and has the effect of blocking interfering signals like power hum.

The bright, color-correct LED on the probe snout eliminates the need for a separate flashlight in dark spaces.
