OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setup
Check the connector for proper termination, then insert the network cable
into the tone generator’s RJ45 port, connect the BNC cable to the tone
generator’s BNC interface or connect the RJ11 telephone line to the RJ11
port. If the cable is not terminated, use the alligator cable to clip the bare
copper wires of the cable.
1. General Cable Tracing
Switch the tone generator to
the “SCAN/UTP” mode, then
press the “SET” key to switch
to UTP/STP mode. The color of
the “UTP/STP” LED indicates
the instrument’s mode, with
green for unshielded and red for
shielded. Turn on and use the
tone probe to trace the wire.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Bundled cables
The tone may bleed into the other cables of a cable bundle. Rotate the
sensitivity knob of the probe to isolate and trace a specific cable if cables
are closely routed or bundled.
3. LED Signal Strength Indicators
Press and hold the “MUTE” button for silent mode. In this mode, the
signal strength indicator light is used to trace the wire. The stronger the
signal, the more indicator lights are lit. Press “MUTE” again to exit the
MUTE mode.
4. Mapping Unknown Cables, Cable Faults and Wire Map Indicators
To quickly locate or map
the end of an unknown
cable, insert one end
of the cable in the RJ45
port in the tone generator,
then insert the other end
of the unknown cable to
the RJ45 port in the tone
probe. If the “Straight/
Cross/Other” LED lights,
this is the other end of
the unknown cable. The
indicator also shows if
there are cable faults. The
1-8 and G indicators show
the wire map sequence by
default, and the order in
which the indicator lights
up is the sequence of the
line. When connected
to the cable, the probe
indicator the cable status
by sound: the “di” sound means connected pair lines, while the “du” sound
means short circuit pair lines. All indicator lights of short circuit pairs are on
at the same time.
