The
WireMaster Mapper
performs its ID test using only the cen-
ter two conductors of the RJ connector. The OPEN and SHORT /
CONTINUITY tests are only performed on these conductors. Other
wires in the cable may have OPENs or SHORTs, and the
WireMaster Mapper
will not detect them.
Intermittent Connections
The
WireMaster Mapper
performs tests in real-time. That is, it is
continuously testing the target cable for the presence of a Re-
mote (some products only perform a momentary test). When a
cable is suspected of having an intermittent connection, a Re-
mote can be connected to one end of the cable, and the
WireMaster
Mapper
connected to the opposite end of the cable. The appro-
priate numbered ID LED should light on the
WireMaster Mapper.
Flex the cable at its connectors and along its length (may require
2 people) while observing the ID LED on the
WireMaster Map-
per.
If an intermittent connection is found, the ID LED will flicker
or change value (like to SHORT or OPEN).
