Verifier - combined cable finder and fault locator

ACT VERIFIER Circuit Cable Tester

Anyone dealing with cable management and troubleshooting needs VERIFIER, a radical tool that uses sound to find hidden cables, test resistance devices and locate faults. Simply walk-test the installation and ‘listen out’ for and locate faults in a fraction of the normal time.

The Concept

Once connected to the circuit, VERIFIER passes an audible tone through the circuit which is picked up by the supplied inductive amplifier. This tone also varies in pitch according to the resistance of the circuit. As the resistance increases, so does the tone.

What It Can Do

Follow Hidden Cables & Pinpoint Cable Faults, EMI & RFI
Listen to the tone to find and follow hidden cables behind plasterboard, under carpet, beneath floorboards and above ceilings. Any cable resistance fault, short or break will be heard by a change of tone. Induced EMI and RFI will also be identified by a sound change.

Identify Devices Connected to Unmarked Cables
The tone can be heard anywhere along the cable AND from the alarm devices. Operating each device in turn will cause the tone to change. Perfect for testing and identification purposes.

Identify Good and Faulty Magnetic Contacts
Variable tones will identify the difference between normal and fault magnetic contacts. On a normal contact the tone will cleanly switch from low to high. On a faulty contact the tone will vary in pitch from low to high. By moving the magnet slowly away from the contact, will verify any normal or faulty contact AND also test the magnet strength.

Verify the sensitivity adjustment of shock sensors
Positioning the probe near the shock sensor from inside or outside the protected door or window will enable the tone to be heard. Repeatedly activating the shock sensor by tap-testing will verify operation, sensitivity and resistance faults. Tones heard will be according to the circuit being normally closed or end-of-line. A good shock sensor will produce a clear, steady low to high tone. A resistance fault will produce distinct, varying low to high tones.

Test Operation & Sensitivity of PIR Motion Detectors
Positioning the supplied probe near the PIR enables the tone to be heard. Activating the PIR repeatedly will verify operation, sensitivity and resistance faults. Tones will change according to the circuit resistance being normally closed or end-of-line. A good PIR when triggered will produce a steady low to high tone. A resistance fault will produce varying low to high tones. Masking the PIR and tapping the PIR enclosure with a screwdriver will audibly expose wiring connection faults.

Verify joint boxes tamper resistance
Positioning the probe near junction boxes will enable the tone to be heard. Repeatedly tapping the junction box with a terminal screwdriver will expose resistance tone changes caused by wiring connection faults.
