it wasn't my fault if the company doesnt mark their lines properly...
H/O had a tough time dealing with that..
but it was an old wire with what I green, red, black, yellow..
but only the green and red looked like they went into the house.. after some stupid carry through port..
I tried like a mo fo to find where we cut it and couldn't.. clearly it was mismarked...which pissed me off...
anyone here made these kind of splices?
please help.
btw the old lady had a miscaraige...eh....maybe next time..
Phone wires should be easy to deal with. I think you have red and green, then yellow and black for a second line. There has to be a junction box outside, and from there you can connect a locater, after first unplugging the house. That lets you work from the house back to the street.
To me thats what it seemed like...There were two poles that it seemed like the lines should of went through, and they jumped into another terminal....that connected into the house...
you use the end off of a line cord with the rj11 jack adapter, strip an end to connect the 521 to and insert the rj11 into the modular jack in the interface.
first you have to disconnect the line cord to the house, replace it with yours and locate as usual.
another way is to connect to the b-box or interface ground with the 521/pro-700 (you do this the same for live power) and locate normally.
if you are really congested you can run the cable sheath, connect to the cable with a self piercing clip or (best) strip a piece of the shield back.never connect the TDR to any phone line unless it's a spair pair at the pole.
i have an inductive clamp for my dynatel but not a 521.
1748khz is a lot higher freq than most couplers use 300 - 1000khz as it bleeds to everything on the site, but it is great for blind sweeps of utilities.
once you make the rj11 it's a matter of pulling one out and replacing it with yours.
Once you cut the underground feed, you disconnect the feed from the house, and that gives you a dead wire to follow, once you inject your signal. This would be just as true for cable TV as it is for a phone line.
twist all of the wires together since you can get to them and trace the wire, you'll need to run an extended ground wire to prevent return to ground problems.
If it's a shielded phone wire then I typically connect the 521 to the shield.
If there are obvious wires that are not being used then you can connect to one of them.
Always make sure and pay attention to the utility locations and where they enter the house.
If in doubt use your "witching sticks" to see if anything might possibly be in the area that you are trenching/pulling/boring.
