NOTE: The LAN Cable Identifier must only be used on cables carrying a low
current, (see safety note above).
Connect the Electrical Cable to be traced into the
test port of the Emitter Unit.
Use the Receiver Unit probe to detect the far end of the
Electrical cable being traced.
1. Connect the RJ45 plug at one end of the Network
Cable under test into the RJ45 socket on the
Emitter Unit and the RJ45 Plug on the far end of
the Network Cable into the RJ45 socket of the
Receiver Unit. Note safety advice below.
2. Turn the rotary switch on the Emitter Unit to
“Test”. The “Verify” LED on the Emitter Unit will
flash showing that the unit is working correctly.
3. By observing the sequence of the LED’s on the Emitter and Receiving Units, the
user can determine whether the Network Cable is OK or has a fault condition
such as Open Circuit, Short Circuit or cross-over.
4. Pressing the ‘Function Button’ on the Emitter Unit during the continuity test
switches between fast and slow sweep rate.
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.
