Claim Text:
1. A wireless multi-scan wire identifying apparatus for identifying a wire pair of a plurality of wire pairs that originate from a common location and that terminate at individual remote locations comprising: a portable base unit including a power supply, a terminal strip, a wireless transceiver, a microprocessor and memory storage; said terminal strip of the portable base unit communicating with said portable base unit, said terminal strip including a plurality of wire pair connectors for connection to wire pairs of a bundle of wires, said power supply of said portable base unit adapted to supply voltage to said plurality of wire pair connectors, each pair of said plurality of wire pair connectors having a unique identifier; said microprocessor of said portable base unit configured to perform a sequential scanning of a voltage across a selected one of said plurality of wire pairs, for measuring each said voltage on said selected wire pair, for storing a value corresponding to said measured voltage in memory at a unique location corresponding to each of said wire pairs, and for comparing the value of each voltage reading with a prior stored value to determine whether a change in a voltage reading has occurred; a wireless remote unit having a wireless transceiver for receiving a signal from said portable base unit, said wireless transceiver indicating when said one of said plurality of wire pairs has had a change in status, and said wireless remote displaying said unique identifier of said wire pair which has had a change of state on a screen located on said wireless remote.
