Step 6 dc circuit. If the insulation is a dark color the stripe or dash is more likely to be white. Move the switch on the device to the tone setting. This will tone down and turn off the speaker volume.

If your wire has light colored insulation this stripe or dash may be dark. You can determine the positive wire by looking at the led. If there is an unbroken circuit through the speaker there will be a continuous tone output from the multimeter and or the meter will not read ol open. The tone generator cable tester is the main testing unit and is used to test cable continuity for coaxial cables rj45 and rj11 cables and for individual wires using the attached alligator clips.

To test the continuity of the wires themselves and both ends of a single wire and test the continuity. If a speaker wire doesn t have a two tone color scheme look for a single stripe or dashed lines these usually indicate the positive end along one of the sides. So if you ever find yourself trying to trace out speaker wires or data wires use an analog tone generator and probe. Take a couple of wires and establish contact with the dc circuit.
