Thank you for choosing Kopul.

The Kopul CBT-8 is a professional-quality cable tester that allows users to test the continuity of a wide variety of cables with a single device. It quickly identifies connectivity and ground problems in some of the most frequently-used cables, and makes troubleshooting audio and studio setups fast and effortless.

A six-way selection knob provides easy selection of the pins to be tested. LED indicators illuminate to show that each pin on the cable is properly connected. The CBT-8 can test cables with any combination of Speakon, XLR, RCA, 3-pin and 5-pin DIN, TRS, and 3.5 mm mini plugs. Two removable leads are included for testing any kind of wire or cable with jacks that are not included on this model. They also allow for testing connections when building or repairing cables.

The CBT-8 is ideal for home, project, and professional studio use. Constructed with a rugged all-metal case, the CBT-8 is a road-ready addition to the gig bag of musicians, engineers, and mobile DJs alike.

Installing the battery

1. Lift the cover of the battery compartment in the direction of the arrow. A click indicates that it is unlocked.
2. Slide the battery compartment out of the cable tester.
3. Insert a 9-volt battery into the compartment with the orientation indicated by the diagram on the inside of the compartment.
4. Slide the battery compartment back into the cable tester. Push it in firmly and press down until it clicks, locking it into place.

It is recommended to check the battery prior to testing cables. To test the battery, do the following:

1. Turn the selection knob all the way to the right to Battery Check
2. The LED should glow a bright green indicating that the battery is fully charged.

Note: a dim LED indicates that the battery is not fully changed. Recharge the battery or replace a disposable battery with a fresh one.

Operating the cable tester

Testing cables:

1. Plug the connectors of the cable into the corresponding jacks on either side or the top of the cable tester.
2. Switch the selection knob to "1."
3. Turn the knob one click at a time to test each pin on the cable (see table on pages 5-6).

Reading the LED indicators

• Yellow and green LEDs light up: There is good continuity on that pin.
• Yellow, green or both LEDs do not light up: There is a faulty connection or possibly a broken or damaged wire.
• Ground LED lights up: There is a short circuit in the cable caused by a connection between the pin and the shell.

Use the tables on pages 5-6 to verify proper pin connections

Manually testing cables

1. Plug the banana plugs of the leads into the corresponding red and black jacks on the front panel of the cable tester.
2. Touch each lead to the corresponding pin on either end of the cable.
3. A lit LED accompanied by a tone indicates good connectivity and continuity.
