設定
1. バッテリーの取り付け
- メインテスターユニットの背面にある電池ボックスを見つけます。
- 電池カバーを開きます。
- Insert the included 9-Volt battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- 電池カバーをしっかりと閉じてください。
2. テスト用ケーブルの接続
The tester consists of a main unit and a remote unit. For most tests, one end of the cable connects to the main unit and the other end to the remote unit. For installed cables, the remote unit can be left at the far end of the cable run.
- RJ45 Cables: Insert one end of the RJ45 cable into the RJ45 port on the main unit and the other end into the RJ45 port on the remote unit.
- 同軸ケーブル: Insert one end of the coaxial cable into the F-connector port on the main unit and the other end into the F-connector port on the remote unit. Use the provided adapters for BNC or RCA connections as needed.
操作手順
一般的な操作
- Ensure the 9-Volt battery is installed in the main unit.
- Connect the cable to be tested to the appropriate ports on the main and remote units.
- Select the desired test mode (RJ45 or Coax) using the switch on the side of the main unit.
- を押す テスト button to initiate the cable test.
- Observe the LED indicators on both the main and remote units to interpret the test results.
RJ45 (LAN) Cable Testing
This mode tests RJ45 patch cords and network installations for proper wiring and continuity.
- Connect the RJ45 cable to the main and remote units.
- Set the switch on the main unit to RJ45.
- を押す テスト button. The LEDs on both units will sequentially light up from 1 to 8, indicating the status of each wire pair.
- Interpretation of LEDs:
- All LEDs light up sequentially on both units: Indicates a correctly wired cable (Pass).
- LEDs do not light up or skip a number: Indicates an open circuit (Open).
- Multiple LEDs light up simultaneously or out of sequence: Indicates a short circuit, miswire, or split pair.
- "Low Batt" LED: Indicates the 9-Volt battery needs replacement.
Coaxial (A/V) Cable Testing
This mode tests coaxial cables (F-type, BNC, RCA with adapters) for continuity and shorts.
- Connect the coaxial cable to the main and remote units (using adapters if necessary).
- Set the switch on the main unit to 同軸.
- を押す テスト ボタン。
- Interpretation of LEDs:
- "Pass" LED lights up: Indicates good continuity.
- "Short" LED lights up: Indicates a short circuit in the cable.
- No LEDs light up: Indicates an open circuit or no connection.
- "Low Batt" LED: Indicates the 9-Volt battery needs replacement.
メンテナンス
クリーニング
柔らかく乾いた布で拭いてください。研磨剤入りの洗剤や溶剤は使用しないでください。
バッテリー交換
When the "Low Batt" LED illuminates, replace the 9-Volt battery promptly to ensure accurate readings. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section for instructions.
ストレージ
