The Resi-Tester™ is designed to test all common low voltage cabling systems found in todays automated homes; telephone,
network or video. The Resi-Tester™ has a large, bright LCD display and four momentary buttons used to directly access each
function. The remote attaches to the main unit for storage and patch cable testing.
The Resi-Tester™ is turned on by pressing any one of the four momentary function buttons and begins testing in the mode for
the button pressed telephone (TEL), coax (COAX), network (NTWK) or tone generator (TONE). The corresponding
connectors at the top end of the tester are labeled the same as their mode switches. An LCD icon for the currently selected
mode will be on or flashing on the screen. To turn the Resi-Tester™ off when in one of the cable test modes, press the button
for a different cable test mode, but not the TONE button. Pressing the TONE button will start the tone generator in the Tel Tone,
the Coax Tone or Ntwk Tone mode, depending on the current cable test mode. The tone mode will be discussed in detail later
