Armada Technologies Pro220K™ Advanced AC Filtered Tone and Probe Kit

Product Details

The Armada Technologies Pro220K™ is an advanced, professional-grade wire identification and tracing kit designed for contractors who demand precision in high-interference environments. This kit pairs the powerful Pro110™ Tone Generator with the Pro210F™ Advanced Filtered Tone Probe, providing an industry-leading solution for pinpointing the termination points of metallic cables. Unlike standard analog kits, the Pro220K features cutting-edge AC noise rejection technology that filters out the "hum" and "buzz" commonly caused by nearby 50/60Hz electrical service, allowing you to hear the tracing signal with crystal clarity. Constructed with thick, high-density plastic and sealed with heavy-duty gaskets, both units are water-resistant and built to withstand the rigors of irrigation, telecom, and electrical service work. With its energy-efficient AA battery design, the Pro220K offers an incredible 250+ hours of operational life, ensuring it is ready when you are.

Key Features:

• Advanced AC Noise Rejection: The Pro210F probe features a selectable filter mode that ignores random signals and electrical interference, focusing solely on the tracing tone.
• Built-in LED Headlight: A high-powered LED on the probe tip illuminates dark bundles of wire, crawl spaces, and dimly lit cabinets.
• Ultra-Long Battery Life: Powered by 4 AA batteries per unit, providing over 250 hours of use—far outlasting traditional 9V-powered alternatives.
• Metal/Plastic Composite Tip: Provides the high sensitivity of a metal core while the plastic coating protects sensitive hardware and prevents accidental shorts.
• Visual & Audible Diagnostics: The tone generator includes a dedicated short-circuit LED and audible alarm to instantly verify circuit continuity.
• Rugged Portability: Includes the Pro21 heavy-duty padded carrying case for safe transport and organized storage of leads and units.

Specifications:

• Kit Components: Pro110 Tone Generator, Pro210F Filtered Probe, Pro21 Case.
• Tracing Frequency: 1 kHz analog tracing tone.
• Battery Type: 4 AA (LR6) per unit (not included).
• Battery Life: 250+ hours (Continuous use).
• Connectivity: RJ11 modular plug and heavy-duty alligator clips with cloth-covered leads.
• Probe Outputs: Internal loudspeaker and 3.5mm headset jack for noisy areas.
• Protection: Over-voltage protected up to 60V DC.

Operation & Maintenance Tips:

• Activating Filter Mode: To eliminate electrical buzz, push the power button on the Pro210F a second time. The green "Filter" LED will light up, indicating the noise rejection circuit is active.
• Continuity Testing: Slide the Pro110 switch to the "SHORT" position. If the circuit is closed (shorted), the LED will turn red and the buzzer will sound—perfect for identifying pairs.
• Grounding for Distance: For long-distance tracing, connect one lead to the target wire and the other to a verified earth ground to significantly boost signal throw.
• Safety Warning: Never connect the Pro110 to live AC circuits exceeding 60V. Always de-energize wires before connecting the tone generator.

Common Uses/Applications:

• Irrigation Professionals: Identifying specific solenoid wires in large valve boxes or at the controller.
• Telecom/Data: Mapping phone lines or CAT5/6 cables in commercial server rooms and residential hubs.
• Electrical Troubleshooting: Finding the far end of a de-energized wire in a complex bundle or behind a wall.

Common Questions:

Q: Why use AA batteries instead of a 9V?

A: AA batteries are more readily available, cheaper, and provide significantly higher milliamp-hour capacity, allowing this kit to last 5 to 10 times longer than 9V models.

Q: Is the probe compatible with other tone generators?

A: Yes. The Pro210F is designed to detect any standard 1 kHz analog tone, making it a versatile addition to your existing tool bag.

Q: How do I know if the battery is low?

A: The Pro210F probe features a dedicated low-battery LED that will turn red when it is time to replace the AA cells.

The Armada Technologies Pro220K™ is the definitive choice for professionals who need a durable, noise-free, and long-lasting wire identification solution.
