Using the
Tester
The cable is tested.
The tester performs a low voltage test on the
cable. With factory default User Preferences,
the tester repetitively performs the low voltage
test on the cable searching for intermittent
errors. The tester continues to do the
intermittent test until the cable is removed or
the test run is ended.
If the cable passes:

The green LED will turn on.

The screen will display
PASSED ALL TESTS.

If the Test Mode is set to
CONTINUOUS, the tester will
automatically scan for intermittents
and emit a
Tick Tick Tick…
sound.
Each tick signifies a good
low voltage test of the cable.
If the cable fails:

The red LED will turn on.

The screen will display the type of
error.

You can press View Errors or Print
Errors to see the detailed error
message.

The tester will sound an error tone,
based on the type of error.
Single Beeps = open
Two Beeps = short
Three Beeps = miswire
4. Remove cable from the tester.
When the cable is removed, the screen
will prompt you to attach the next cable.
Note: If the screen does not display the ATTACH CABLE prompt after removing the tested cable,
it means the tester still sees connections. Check your adapter or adapter cables for shorts.
For more information on error messages, see
“Cable Error Messages” on page
51.
If the User Preference Test Mode
is set to SINGLE, the tester will not
perform the intermittent test.
