Function/Application – Localises telephone wires, network cables, wires and cables in electrical systems – Tests network cabling (assignment of individual conductors) – Integrated continuity tester – Comprehensive accessories set for testing the most commonly used types of plug-in connections (RJ11, RJ45, BNC, TV coax., F adapter) – Universal testing terminal for the connection to any conductor – Loud audible signal for straightforward identication of selected cables – Extremely bright white LED ashlight function General safety instructions – The device must only be used in accordance with its intendedpurpose and within the scope of the specications. – The measuring tools and accessories are not toys. Keep out of reach of children. – The structure of the device must not be modied in any way. – Do not expose the device to mechanical stress, extreme temperatures, moisture or signicant vibration. – Do not use the device in environments containing explosive gases or vapour. – Make sure that you always select the correct connections and the correct rotary switch position for the measurement being carried out. – The device is not suitable for measurement whilst under voltage. Therefore, always make sure the measuring circuit is at zero voltage. Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure a zero-voltage state. – Check that all high-voltage capacitors are discharged. – The sender introduces the measuring voltage into the lines to be tested. This may impair or damage sensitive electronic equipment (e.g. network cards). Therefore, please make sure that any lines to be tested which belong to sensitive electronic equipment are isolated before measurement. – Use only original test adapters. Safety instructions Using articial, optical emission (OStrV) Safety instructions Dealing with electromagnetic radiation – The device works with LEDs of risk group RG 0 (exempt, no risk) in accordance with the latest versions of applicable standards relating to photobiological safety (EN 62471:2008-09ff / IEC/TR 62471:2006-07ff). – Radiation power: Peak wavelength equals 456 nm. – When used for the intended purpose and under reasonably foreseeable conditions, the accessible radiation of the LEDs is safe for the human eye and skin. – The measuring device complies with electromagnetic compatibility regulations and limits in accordance with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. – Local operating restrictions – for example, in hospitals, aircraft, petrol stations or in the vicinity of people with pacemakers – may apply. There is a possibility of a dangerous impact on – or interference with – electronic devices. LED outlet EN08

Checking the cable conguration for LAN cables Connect the LAN cable (RJ45) to the sender and receiver, and switch the sender to LAN TEST mode. Press the MODE button (3) until the LAN TEST mode LED (8) lights and the LAN TEST status LED (9) ashes. Now compare the light sequence of diodes 1 to 8 on the sender and receiver. Transmitter TX Receiver RECV The device is ready for use immediately once the batteries have been inserted. It does not have a separate ON/OFF switch and is therefore always active. There is continuity in the cable if: – The light sequences of the sender and receiver are the same: 1=1, 2=2 etc. – The light sequences of the sender and receiver are different, e.g. 1=8, 2=7, etc: cable connections crossed. – If the G diode also lights up on both devices, the cable is shielded. There is no continuity in the cable if: – Diodes 1 to 8 do not light up: cable is damaged, e.g. as a result of a cable break or a connector without a contact. – Multiple diodes (1 to 8) ash at the same time and at irregular intervals: short-circuit in cable. Tip 1: In LAN TEST mode, the speed of the light sequence can be adjusted by pressing the button (3). The sequence speed is differentiated by the LAN TEST status LED (9) ashing slowly and quickly.

Continuity test Only the sender is required for this application. Connect the cable terminals to the RJ11 connection and to the object to be tested, and switch the device to LAN TEST mode. Press the MODE button (3) until the LAN TEST mode LED (8) lights and the LAN TEST status LED ashes. Then keep the MODE button (3) pressed until the LAN TEST status LED (9) lights continuously. The test circuit is closed when the LAN TEST status LED (9) lights up. The test circuit is open if the LAN TEST status LED (9) does not light. Refer to Tip 1. Do not perform any measurements in the vicinity of or directly adjacent to live or signal-carrying cables. There is a risk of fatal electric shocks and damage to the device.

– Make the measuring circuit zero-potential. – Shields in the cable and in the surrounding area (metal coverings, metal supports, etc.) reduce the range of the receiver.

Locating network, telephone and multimedia cables, and individual wires Connect the adapter cable or cable to be located to the sender and switch the device to SCAN mode. If necessary, connect the sender to a network or telephone socket (see Fig. b). For measurements using the cable terminals, connect the red terminal to the cable to be located and connect the black one to earth (earthing conductor or shielding). Then use the receiver to search for the connected cable. See also Tip 2. Tip 3: To locate the cable more efciently, gradually reduce the receiver signal volume using the control (18). The cable can be located by means of volume differences and is indicated by the status LED (19) lighting up at its brightest or by the maximum signal volume. Tip 4: The best search results are achieved when the test prod (15) has a direct metallic contact with the cable being located. This type of contact will produce a clearly audible jump in the signal. You can also get stronger signals at the cable ends (Fig. c) or directly at the individual wires (Fig. d). Tip 5: Any interference that occurs (buzzing, etc.) can be reduced by earthing the return conductor or shielding conductor in the test lead. Earthing by means of your own hand or nger may be enough, however. Connect the cable terminals to the sender‘s RJ11 connection and to the required line, and switch the sender to SCAN mode. Press the MODE button (3) until the SCAN mode LED (7) lights and the SCAN status LED (6) ashes. Then use the receiver to search for the line, with the test mode button (21) held down (see Fig. a). To achieve the maximum measuring depth, set the receiver signal volume as high as it will go (18). Tip 2: Depending on the application concerned, it may be advisable to change the type of signal. In SCAN mode keep the MODE button (3) pressed until the SCAN status LED (6) lights continuously. The signal type is reset by briey pressing the MODE button (3). The SCAN status LED (6) ashing indicates a modulated signal; if it lights continuously this indicates a constant signal. The lead transmission signal that is fed in may be transmitted to other cables if they are parallel to the lead over longer distances.

Information on maintenance and care Clean all components with a damp cloth and do not use cleaning agents, scouring agents and solvents. Remove the battery(ies) before storing for longer periods. Store the device in a clean and dry place. Headphones The headphones supplied enable you to analyse the receiver signals more accurately. IMPORTANT: Set the volume control as low as it will go before connecting the headphones to the receiver (17) and putting them on. An excessively high volume in the headphones may damage your hearing. Tip 6: Parallel supply lines may generate buzzing interference in the test lead. If the external interference is too great, switch off the household power supply during measurement if possible. Tip 7: TV sockets in particular may contain lters that have a negative effect on measurements. In this case, remove the TV socket and perform the measurement directly at the cable.
