Electrical Cables:
1. Insert the RJ11 Cable to Crocodile Clip accessory cable into the RJ11 socket on
the LAN Cable Identifier Emitter Unit.
2. Connect the crocodile clips to the electrical cable to be traced. Please note the
safety limitations below.
Safety Note: This test is only suitable for cables carrying a low current. The
Maximum working current for cables being tested is <10mA for the Emitter Unit
and <30mA for the Receiver Unit.
3. Turn the Emitter rotary selection switch to “Scan”, the Status LED will flash
indicating that the Emitter is operating normally.
4. Switch on the Receiver Unit by turning the rotary switch clockwise. Use the
probe to detect the far end of the cable being traced. During the test the
Receiver unit will emit a tone to indicate when it is against the cable that is
connected to the Emitter unit.
5. The Receiver Unit can emit two tones, a steady tone and a two-pitch tone. The
preferred tone is selected by pressing the ‘Function button’ on the Emitter Unit.
The volume of the tone can be adjusted using the rotary control on the Receiver
Unit.
Electrical Wire Location – Typical Application:
The LAN Cable Identifier can be used to quickly locate the far end of a Electrical
cable where many cables are present.
