CABLE LIST SETUP
The CableTool has a prestored list of over 60 popular cable types with the

most often used cable types at the top of the list for quick access and to modify
the typical NVP when the actual NVP is known to be different value.

DEFAULT CABLE SETUP
Default Cable setup allows the user to store the most often used cable type
as the default for the Length measurement in the Length screen. The Default Cable
is used when the Length function is selected and length measurements begin.
Pressing the Up/Down cursor key scrolls
between the eight storage locations. Press the
Save function key to select the displayed cable
as the Default for length measurements.
CUSTOM CABLE SETUP
Custom Cable Setup is used to measure and store the NVP of a cable of a
known length. Connect the CableTool to a piece of cable that is between 50 and
100 feet long and is open at the far end. Cables less than 50 feet or longer than
100 feet may not give accurate NVP results.
Press the Up/Down cursor key to select one of
the four Custom Cable storage locations. Press
the Select function key to advance the arrow to
the length field and then use the Up/Down
cursor key to adjust the displayed cable length
until it matches the known length. The NVP changes as the displayed cable length
is adjusted. Press the Save function key to store the information.
TONER SETUP
The CableTool has four different tone patterns and four different tone
frequencies that can be used to trace a cable with a tone probe. The frequencies
and patterns are compatible with tone probes from different manufacturers. The
different patterns and frequencies allow multiple technicians to be working in the
same area and still be able to uniquely identify the cable being traced.
Pressing the Up/Down cursor key scrolls
between the four transmitted patterns. Pressing
the Select function key advances the arrow to
the Band field where one of four frequencies can
be selected.
Press the Save function key to store the displayed Pattern and Band as the Default
for Toning.
