7-10 Network Cable (RJ45) Testing
Warning
:
Please do not use this function in the condition of alive circuit, or it will damage the
instrument.
Network cable testing function is suitable for network cable which is T168A, T568B, 10Base-T and
Token Ring. It can find out the error cables and show on the cables symbol and their problem. If few
cables have error, all the error and cables symbol will display on the screen first, and press “TEST”
key one by one, cables symbol and its error detail will show on the screen one by one. You should
eliminate the error connections one by one until all the cable connection is correct.
Open Circuit:
There is no indicating symbol for
open circuit in this instrument. Normally there is 2
~
4
pair of twisted pair on a typical network, the symbol of cable which is open circuit will not display on
the screen, user should identify which symbol should be or should not be displayed on the screen
according to the true situation. If the cables symbol should be display but it did not, then means this
cables are open Circuit.
Short Circuit:
There is short connection among cables (Figure 1).
Miswire:
One side of two cables are wrong (Figure 2).
Reversed:
One side of cable is reverse (Figure 3).
Split pairs:
As wrong operation, a line of cable twine to other cable line
while
pressing the line
(Figure 4).

8-4 Close the cover of the battery cabinet and fasten the screw.
9. Fuse replacement
9-1 This meter is provided with a 200mA/500V fast fuse to protect the battery test and the current
measuring circuits which measure up to 200mA, with a 10A/500V fuse to protect the 10A range.
9-2 Ensure the meter is not connected to any external circuit, power off the meter and remove the test
leads from the terminals. Open the bottom case by a screwdriver.
9-3 Replace the old fuse with the same type and rating: 6× 30mm 200mA/500V fast fuse or 6× 30mm
10A/500V fast fuse.
9-4 Close the bottom case and fasten the screw.
10. Maintenance
10-1 Before attempting to remove the battery door or open the case, be sure that test leads have been
disconnected from measurement circuit top avoid electric shock hazard.
10-2 You must replace the test leads if the lead is exposed, and should adopt the leads with the same
specifications as origin.
