SOUNDTOOLS™ SNIFFER & SENDER INFO

Designed by Rat Sound to deal with the "real world" of pro audio, the SoundTools™ Sniffer cable tester is a amazingly simple and reliable tester with many unique features. Testing snake lines and cables with the ends located at a distance from each other is now simple and easy and you can do it without running extra cables just to test.

Instructions:

There are two basic ways to use the Rat Sniffer.

1) Using the Sniffer and Sender together you would attach them to an NL4 cable, the sniffer on one end and sender on the other. Turn on the sender and if all the LED's on the Sniffer illuminate green, the NL4 cable is good. Any other combo is a fault condition that can be decoded with the included LED chart card.

Note: you can attach the sniffer directly to the sender to test them. Also, if the Sender is not attached to anything, the battery will not drain so you can leave it on.
