Tracing a Cable
( PentaScanner+ only)
To display the TRACE CABLE screen, press the Extended Functions key, then select Cable
Trace .
To trace a cable, use Microtest’s Cable Tracer II (sold separately) or any other audio amplifier,
along with this Scanner. Attach the end of the cable you want to trace to the Scanner’s twisted pair
or BNC connector. A multi-tone trace signal will begin transmitting. Make sure the cable you are
tracing is not grounded. A grounded cable will cause the signal generated by this unit to be very
weak. As long as the antenna of the
Cable Tracer II or similar device is within one foot of the
cable, you will hear a multi-tone sound. Trace along the cable where the sound is loudest to
determine the cable’s path. For more information, refer to the
Microtest Cable Tracer II
Operator Manual or the operator manual for the audio amplification device you are using.
Press ESCAPE to exit the Cable Trace function.
Locating an Office Cable Drop
( PentaScanner+ only)
To display the OFFICE LOCATOR screen, press the Extended Functions key, then select
Office Locator . Use this function with Microtest’s Office Locator Kit to find the termination of
an office cable drop. Insert the RJ-45 Office Locator plugs into the wall outlets in the offices you
wish to locate. At the hub, run the Office Locator function at each connection. The Scanner will
display the ID of the Office Locator plug at the far end of the attached cable.
Press ESCAPE to exit the Office Locator function.
