Identifies Cables With Any Tone Generator
The Southwire Amplifier Probe works with any tone generator to trace non-energised cables behind walls or in dense bundles. It detects individual conductors and shifts tone when wires are shorted, giving positive confirmation of the correct path. Designed for electricians and low-voltage installers who need reliable cable identification on the job site. Suitable for bench testing and field troubleshooting alike.
No Thermal Or Noise Output In Normal Use
The probe is a passive hand-held instrument that draws power only from two included AAA batteries. It produces no measurable heat, emits no audible fan noise and places negligible load on the batteries during typical tracing tasks. Operation remains consistent across the temperature ranges encountered in residential and commercial environments.
Batteries Included For Immediate Operation
Two AAA cells are supplied in the package so the tool is ready to use without a separate purchase. No software, drivers or calibration utilities are bundled or required; the device functions entirely through its analogue amplifier circuitry. The Proposition 65 notice applies to the product materials and does not affect daily handling when used as directed.

Questions about this item
How do I start using the Southwire 58746540 amplifier probe right out of the box?
Insert the two included AAA batteries, power the probe on, then pair it with any tone generator to begin tracing non-energized cables behind walls or identifying individual conductors.
What ongoing maintenance does the Southwire 58746540 amplifier probe require?
Replace the two AAA batteries when the audio tone weakens or detection range drops; no calibration or internal servicing is needed.
What limits detection range first when I use the Southwire 58746540 amplifier probe for long periods?
Battery drain reduces amplifier gain over time, so the probe loses sensitivity on deeply buried or long cable runs before any other factor.
