• Only use the device for its intended purpose. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.

• Dam age caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.

• Keep this manual for future reference.

• advanced design for easy te stin g

• ability to test cables from a distance and in places that are not easily accessible

• automatically runs all tests and checks for continuity, open, shorted and crossed wire pairs.

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• The device te s ts com mo n L AN a nd computer cables.

• It tests installed cables o r patch co rds with USB-A-to -Min i-B, BNC , RJ45 (8P8C), RJ12 (6P6C), RJ11 (6P2C), RJ10 (4P4C) connectors.

• It is intended to test cables with straight through connections, not cables with reversed or transposed co nnections like som e LAN crosso ver cables or reverse wired telephone cables.VTLA N7

• Do not test near strong magnetic fields (magnets, loudspeake rs, transformers, motors, coils, relays, contactors, electromagnets, e tc.).

• Do not test near strong electrostatic fields (high voltage power lines, te le vis io ns, computer m onitors, etc.).

• Do not test near strong RF fields (rad io or television transm itters , walkie-ta lk ies , cellu la r ph ones e tc. ).

Never use the tester on live wires; this may cause shocks or damage the meter. Notes

• Only one cable can be tested at a time. For example, a coax ia l cable and a n RJ45 ca ble cannot be tes ted simultaneously.

• The tester is intended to test complete cables. It may no find faults in cables that are intentionally incomplete. For example, the standard EIA/TIA 568 RJ45 terminated Ethernet cable is expected to contain 8 conducto rs. If only 4 conductors are used between the RJ45 connectors, the device may not properly identify the faults. To test a cable:

1. Insert one end of the cable under test into the appropriate

s o ck e t in the master.

2. Insert the other end of the cable into the correspo nding socket

3. Press and release the Test button [1].

The power LED will light up for at least 5 seconds, indicating the device is testing the cable. If the power LED does not light, replace the battery.

The tables below describe the test results (LEDs that light up and num be r of be ep s) for va rious e rror type s.VTLA N7

There is no cable between the remote and the main unit.

• The cable has no intact conductors.

5.4 Test ing an RJ 11 cab le

Testing RJ11 cables is similar to RJ45 cables. An RJ11 cab le can have 2, 4, or 6 conne ctions. Depe nding on the num ber of connections , the LEDs will light as follows (provided the cable is O K):

• 2 co nnections: LED 3 - 4

• 4 co nnections: LED 2 - 3 - 4 - 5

1. Connect one end of the cab le to the BNC connector.

2. Attach a suitable termina to r to the o ther end o f the cable.

3. Press the Test button.

The LED corresponding to the error lights up. Results

• SHORT: short circuit

• CO NNECT ED: ca ble is O K.

• NO N-PARALLEL: crossed connection.

• NO CO NNEC TIO N: cable has no terminator or is defective.VTLA N7

1. Connect the Mini-B end to the socket on the maste r a nd the

USB A end to the remote.

2. Press the Test button.

The LED nex t to CONNECTED and the num be red LEDs 1 to 4 light up if the cab le is O K.

• Do not puncture b atteries or throw them in fire as they may explode.

• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries (alkaline).

Dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations. Ke ep batteries away from children.

Remove the battery from the device if it will not be use

• The device has a battery low indicator. Replace the battery as soon as the indicator lights up. A low battery po we r may produce false readings.

• To replace the battery:

1. Slide open the battery cover at the back and replace wi th a

corre ct b a tte ry ( see Technical Specifications). Re spect the p o la rity.

2. Close the battery cover.

7. Clean ing and Maintena nce

• The tester is a precision test instrument and, when used as described in this manual, should not require maintenance.

• Calibration is not required.

• To clean the outside of the tester, use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any abrasive cleansers or chem ical solvents that may damage the case of the tester.VTLA N7
