Description
The Greenlee Communications 500XP and 500FP Tone Probes
are intended to identify and trace wires or cables within a group
without damaging the insulation.
Features include:
• Tough, waterproof, ergonomic design
• Replaceable tip
• Clearly distinguishable audio output tones
• Headset output level electronically limited for safety
• 500XP includes (US patent 8754629B2) acAlert®feature to
warn of possible power cross or similar faults; if the active
probe is brought near a source of potentially hazardous AC
voltage of 50or 60Hz, the tool will attempt to warn the user.

provides information for preventing or avoiding the hazard.
Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result in
severe injury or death.
Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in severe
injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY
result in injury or property damage.

Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Contact with live circuits could result in
severe injury or death.
• If the tool becomes wet, clean and dry it
before use. Dampness reduces performance,
as the tip is unable to detect the electric
field properly. Water may short the headset
connections.
Failure to observe these warnings could result
in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not use this unit if the casing is cracked.
• Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only,
as described in this manual. Any other use can impair the
protection provided by the unit.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe
injury or death.

500XP • 500FP
Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• This unit is intended for use only within measurement
category O and for measurements performed on circuits
not directly connected to AC mains power.
• Do not trace live AC mains power circuits.
• This tool is not intended as a replacement for a multimeter,
test-lamp, or specially engineered AC mains power detec-
tor. This tool has conductive tips which may cause a short
circuit resulting in a dangerous arc flash.
• This unit does not detect potentially hazardous direct
current (DC) or alternating current (AC) with frequencies
beyond 50 or 60 Hz. Always use a suitably rated multime-
ter or test-lamp to check by direct connection that a circuit
is safe to touch.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe
injury or death.
6
Important Safety Information
Loud sound hazard:
• Do not operate with the loudspeaker less than 30 cm (12")
from your ear.
• Do not use with the headset at high sound levels for
extended periods.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury.
Electric shock hazard:
• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-
serviceable parts.
• Use only with accessories and replacement parts recom-
mended by Greenlee.
• Do not expose the unit to extreme temperatures or high
humidity. Refer to “Specifications.”
• Beware ringing voltage that may be present on telecom-
munication circuits.
• Do not use anti-static surface treatments, e.g., cleaners or
polishes; these can leave the surface slightly conductive,
which may pose a safety risk allowing higher voltages
accidentally encountered to track over the surface to your
hand.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and
can damage the instrument.

Installing the Battery
Only open the battery cover in clean and dry conditions; the
battery terminals may be contaminated or corrode if dirt and
moisture are present.
1. Loosen the two captive screws.
2. Observing polarity, install a new alkaline 9 V battery. Check
that the seal is clean and in place around the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the cover and finger-tighten the two screws, being
careful not to cross-thread them.

Operation
Power On
Press and hold the button until you hear the power-on beep
and see the red LED light; release the button. Then you will
hear the self-test tone for one second during which time the
green LED should be lit.
Change Gain
Short taps of the +or –buttons will increase or decrease the
gain in single steps. At each step, a tone is produced at a level
slightly different to the previous one. At maximum gain a high
pitched beep is generated, and at minimum gain a low pitched
beep is generated.
Change Filter Mode
Quickly tap both +and –buttons simultaneously to step the
unit through the three main operating modes:
Basic
Mains hum reject
(default power-on mode)
Precision tone
(500XP only)
LED and Tone Indications
Mode
• Basic – “beep” and red LED flashes.
• Mains hum reject – “beep-beep” and green LED flashes.
• Precision tone (500XP only) – “beep-beep-beep” and both
LEDs flash.
Signal Level
• Basic – red LED brightness is proportional to signal received.
• Mains hum reject – green LED brightness is proportional to
signal without AC mains power.
9
500XP • 500FP
• Precision tone (500XP only) – red and green LED brightness
is proportional to 577 Hz and 983 Hz, respectively.
acAlert®Hazardous AC Voltage Warning
The 500XP is not an AC mains power detector. This warning
feature is included only as an aid to safety. This product is not
intended to be used with AC mains power but should indicate if
near a hazardous AC voltage.
Available in selected programs of the 500XP only (not 500FP),
the acAlert®feature is important in the filtered modes where
there is little hum from the loudspeaker. Should AC at 50 Hz
or 60 Hz be detected, the probe will rapidly flash the red and
green LEDs alternately and generate a “booop-(audio)-booop”
warning sound. Pair tracing tones can be heard during the
pauses. The warning tone may be overridden for 30 seconds by
pressing both buttons while the tone is being generated.
Program Options
The configuration of the mains power hum and precision tone
filters and acAlert®warning can be adjusted if required. There
are five settings; 1 is the default that should suit most situa-
tions. The chosen setting is stored in non-volatile memory.

Operation (cont.)
10
To enter programming mode (500XP only): With the unit operat-
ing, press and hold both buttons for more than ten seconds. A
melody of three tones will be heard followed by a number of
beeps that represent the currently chosen setting. Pressing +
or –allows adjustment of the setting.
To confirm the setting, press and hold both buttons for more
than two seconds. A two tone melody will confirm exit of
programming mode.
Low Battery Warning
If the battery drops below 6.5 V, you will hear three tones of
falling frequency. Typically, with an alkaline battery, two hours
of use remain after the first warning is given.
Battery Saver Timeout
If the 500XP/FP is operating and neither button is pressed
for five minutes, the unit will switch off to save power. This is
preceded by three warning beeps and the power-off tone of
“beep-beep-beep-boop”.
Power Off
Press the button for more than 0.5 seconds. The unit will
produce a single lower pitched tone and switch off.
