JDS Uniphase Testifier, User Manual

Page: 7 / 32

Description
The Testifier™ is designed to test all
common low voltage cabling systems found
in todays automated businesses and homes;
telephone, network or video. The Testifier™
has a large, bright LCD display and four
momentary buttons used to directly access
each function. The remote attaches to
the main unit for storage and patch cable
testing.
The Testifier™ is turned on by pressing any
one of the four momentary function buttons
and begins operating in the mode for the
button pressed: telephone (TEL), coax
(COAX), network (NTWK) or tone generator
(TONE). The corresponding connectors
at the top end of the tester are labeled the
same as their mode switches. An LCD
icon for the currently selected mode will
be on or flashing on the screen. To turn
the Testifier™ off when in one of the cable
test modes, press the button for a different
cable test mode, but not the TONE button.
Pressing the TONE button will start the tone
generator in the Tel Tone, the Coax Tone or
Ntwk Tone mode, depending on the current
cable test mode. The tone mode will be
discussed in detail later in this section.
