  • The unit will automatically power off after approximately 5 minutes of inactivity. To manually power off, disconnect the battery.

3.2 Tone Generator Function

The tone generator is used for setting system levels, checking crossover points, and tracing signals.

  1. ユニットの電源がオンになっていることを確認してください。
  2. 使用 "13Hz - 10kHz" rotary knob to select the desired frequency for the tone.
  3. Adjust the output level using the "0V - 8V P-P" rotary knob. The output range is 0-8 volts peak-to-peak.
  4. Connect the TL-PTG2 to the audio system using either RCA or alligator clips as described in Section 2.2.
  5. Observe the audio output from the speakers or system components to verify signal presence and frequency response.

3.3 Speaker Polarity Tester Function

This function helps visually confirm speaker connection polarity.

  1. Connect the TL-PTG2 to the speaker using the alligator clips. Ensure the clips are securely attached to the speaker terminals.
  2. を押し続けます "Speaker Test (9VDC)" ボタン。
  3. Observe the speaker cone movement. A correctly wired speaker will show the cone moving outwards (positive excursion) when the button is pressed. If the cone moves inwards, the polarity is reversed.
  4. Release the button once polarity is confirmed. Avoid holding the button for extended periods.

3.4 RCA Cable Tester Function

The RCA cable tester verifies the continuity of RCA cables.

  1. Connect one end of the RCA cable to be tested to the "RCA End (1)" input on the TL-PTG2.
