Operating instructions

Precautions for Use

• Do not connect the tester to a powered cable.
• Do not test more than one cable at a time.

Operating instructions

1 - Connect the secondary unit to one end of the cable to be tested and the main unit to the other end.
For a measurement on a wired installation, we recommend detaching the secondary unit from the main unit by sliding the main unit; to do so, push gently as per the indications on the casing.
2 - Press the green button at the centre of the main unit.
3 - Read the result on the test LEDs and interpret them as per the indications given in the paragraph entitled. Test LED on main unit.

Note

On the RJ-45 connectors, the test is performed on 8 LEDs, or on 9 LEDs if the instrument is fitted with a ground connection.

As RJ-11 connectors have 6 wires, the result is read on 6 LEDs.

At link 1394, the result is read on 7 LEDs.

As USB connectors have 4 wires + ground, the result is read on 5 LEDs.

The BNC connector is read on 2 LEDs.

Reading results

Operating indicator

The blue LED goes ON when the connection between the two units is established. In display G 1-8, the LEDs of the conducting conductors go ON and an audio signal is activated.

The red LED goes ON when the connection is made between the main unit and the secondary unit and the cable has a short-circuit. In display G 1-8, the LEDs corresponding to the short-circuiting conductors go ON and two audio signals are activated.

When the yellow LED goes ON, the 9 V battery needs replacing.

If the LED is ON, the secondary unit or the load resistance (BNC) is not connected to the main unit.

The yellow LED goes ON to indicate that the links are crossed over in the connecting cable between the main unit and the secondary unit.

Press the green button at the centre of the tester.

1 Do not connect the tester to a powered cable.
2 Do not test more than one cable at a time.
3 On RJ-45 connectors, the test is performed on 8 LEDs, or on 9 LEDs if the instrument is fitted with a ground connection.
4 As RJ-11 connectors have 6 wires, the result is read on 6 LEDs.
5 With a 1394 link, the result is read on 7 LEDs.
6 As USB connectors have 4 wires, the result is read on 4 LEDs.
7 The BNC connector is read on 2 LEDs.
