Note: Open and Short errors take precedence over miswires and the appropriate
icon(s) will appear in the display screen.
If the pairs displayed in the Wire Map are flashing, the cable has a problem (split,
open, short, or fail). If the pairs are not flashing, the cable is wired properly and a
“Pass” icon will appear.
The accuracy of the CableMaster is limited to identifying the pin pairs with errors. It
cannot identify the individual pin experiencing the error.
SHIELD INDICATOR
The “Shielded” icon, appearing in the fourth line of the LCD screen, illuminates when
a shielded data cable is properly wired at both ends. The icon flashes if the shield is
shorted to a pin in the cable. The shorted pins display in the Wire Map and the “Short”
indicator appears.
WIRE MAP: TESTER PIN #
The top line in the Wire Map shows the pin numbers of the cables connected to the
main tester. If a cable fault is detected, the pin pairs experiencing the error will flash.
WIRE MAP: REMOTE PIN #
The bottom line of the Wire Map corresponds to cables connected to the remote
tester. The Remote Pin # field will show if the connected cables have errors (short,
open, fail, and split). The appearance of dash lines indicates shorted pins. No number
displayed in the Remote Pin Number line indicates Open pins. Pin pairs will flash if
they are split.
BATTERY LOW
The battery low symbol illuminates when the battery is nearing depletion. The symbol
flashes when the battery needs to be replaced.
Note: Results may be unreliable at this point so the battery should be replaced.
