Video (Coax) Cables
Tests for shorts, opens and ID’s up to 20 unique remotes (P/N TRK120)
on the F-connector jack. Connect one end of the coax cable to the
F-connector jack on the top of the tester. Connect the other end of the
coax cable to the F-connector jack on the master remote and press the
test key to scan for the remote ID. To measure the length of a cable, DO
NOT use a remote.
Voice (POTS) Cables
The Phone test behaves similarly to the Data cable test. The
CableMaster 500 is designed to test twisted pair phone cables; using it
to test flat cable may result in false “split” results. The CableMaster 500
assumes the 6-position jack on the main unit and the remote will be
used for connecting the tester to the cable run to be tested.
This mode uses the 3-pair USOC standard to define the pairs. Connector
pins 1-6, 2-5 and 3-4 are the pairs defined by this standard.
The tester will display the “Pass” icon when all 6 pins are correctly
wired in a one-to-one order. If all 6 pins are correctly wired in the
reverse order, the “Pass” icon along with a flashing “Rev” icon. Standard
telephone cables used between a phone set and a wall jack are usually
reverse-pinned.
After turning on the Telephone Cable test mode, subsequent presses
of the test button will initialize a new test cycle. This is useful to
immediately begin a new test when attaching a new cable to the
CableMaster 500.
