WARNING:
Do not connect tester to a live circuit. Exposure to voltage can
damage the tester. If all the LEDs flash at the same time when the TEST button is pressed,
there is voltage on the cable being tested. Immediately disconnect the cable. Make sure
the cable is not connected to any device that can supply voltage before retesting.
NOTE:
Test signals may not pass through a splitter. Only one remote identifier can be
connected at a time when testing cables connected to a common splitter.
1. Connect the remote ID’s to the wall ports in the locations being tested.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the test port on top of the tester.
3. Press the
TEST
button.
4. If the cable is connected to an identifier, a Pass LED will illuminate and indicate
which color coded remote ID is connected.
5. The Fail LED will glow red if the cable being tested is shorted and glow yellow if
the cable is open or not connected to an identifier.
6. If the Pass LED on the cable being tested flashes when the TEST button is pushed,
the batteries are depleted. Discontinue the test and immediately replace the
batteries.
