Digital camera reviews of Fluke PRO3000 Tone and Probe Kit
Digital camera Review: Excellent Product -- Highly Recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
This product will make my life much easier. I built a large house in Tahoe several years back, and there are many (about 30) CAT 5 / Coax home runs throughout the house that terminate at patch panels in the basement. Trouble is that some were poorly labeled (some have question marks), and some don't work. This tool is very sensitive (gives a tone when you are near the correct wire), and lets me diagnose / fix the problems without the frustration. No doubt, Fluke builds good stuff, and this device is fairly priced. Also bought the Fluke A/C probe that's very nice for about $25.Digital camera Review: Find wires behind walls with ease!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fluke 3000 is a great tool. It's designed use is for the computer and telecommunications fields. But it works great to find wires in walls too.
Ever wonder where that sneaky electrician ran a wire? Turn the circuit off, this tool isn't made to work at 120vac, then connect the transmitter to the wires. As long as the wires are not shorted together (like a light switch turned on, or something plugged in) you will find the wire easily. To make sure you have the correct wires, simply touch them together briefly, and the tone will change, verifying that you have the correct pair.
Works great through lath and plaster walls for pinpoint wire location.
Digital camera Review: Fluke PRO 3000 or Progressive?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a telecommunication professional, and although most prefer the Progressive toners and probes I decided to go with Fluke. It didn't disappoint me at all. As a matter of fact it is better than Progressive in at least two counts: distance and accuracy. The smart tone allows me to identify the pair with certainty. If you need a good tool at the right price, look no further. Fluke PRO 3000 is what you need.Digital camera Review: Fluke Pro3000 does not operate
Summary: 1 Stars
The toner/probe doe not function as received. New batteries were installed and it still does not detect a tone at the the end of a conductor. A call to Fluke did not produce any resolution. As an aside, the volume control on the probe interferes with the case, making adjustment very difficult. I'll try one more call to Fluke support before I return the umit. I'm pretty disgusted with the purchase, especially in view of my very good past experience with Fluke equipment in our company's metrology labs.Digital camera Review: Fluke tone & probe
Summary: 5 Stars
This device works well. The tone has a two-tone option which sounds like a car alarm. Very recognizable. Comes in a holster.
