pin numbers of the remote, which are normally the
same as the top line for a normal data cable. If there is a
miswire, the numbers of the second line will indicate the
pin numbers detected. If no connection was detected
for some of the pins, the second line will be blank in
those pin locations. If a short is detected, the second
line will have a flashing “x” in that position, and the
specific short condition will be displayed on the third
line. If multiple errors need to be displayed on the third
line, the messages will display in sequence until all have
been displayed. The ID icon will have a number directly
below it indicating the remote ID number. If no faults
are found on the cable, the length of the cable is
displayed.
If it does not sense a remote, the tester uses the length
and cable test capability to measure a cable for shorts,
opens, and split pairs (single-ended test), and the pin
number icons for the pairs being tested will appear on
the LCD to indicate a test in progress. The results are
displayed as messages on the LCD. Because a test can
take up to about 5 seconds to complete, you should
press the SEL button, which immediately starts a new
test whenever a new cable is connected. Partial and
erroneous results will be displayed until a complete test
cycle runs on a cable.
