not necessarily through all of the ports.
For distribution systems using fully power passive splitters, the
WireMaster Mapper will map individual Remotes the splitters.
Only one Remote at a time can be mapped. Connecting more than
one Remote at a time to the system will cause an incorrect ID on
the
WireMaster Mapper.
Some equipment connected to the out-
puts of the splitters may cause the
WireMaster Mapper
to pro-
duce an incorrect ID. If in doubt, disconnect the equipment.
Splitters are bi-directional, meaning that signals pass through them
in both directions. Because of this behavior, the Remote can be
connected to any port on the splitter, and it can be “seen” on any
other port.
A typical test would be to connect the chosen Remote to the input
of the system, and test at each outlet with the
WireMaster Map-
per
for the presence of the Remote’s ID. If the correct ID is dis-
played, the system’s input is connected to the tested outlet. If
OPEN or SHORT is displayed, there may be no connection to the
Remote, power passive splitters are not being used, or equip-
ment connected to the splitters is interfering with the ID.
Note:
The
WireMaster Mapper
will not test through active de-
vices (amplifiers, switches, modulators, etc.) or DC Blocks, Match-
ing Transformers, or any other device that will not pass the DC
