Testing Cable Continuity
NOTE: Before testing for continuity, check line polarity to ensure that the
line is not powered.
1. Connect the red and back alligator test leads to the cable you want
to test.
2. Flip the toggle switch on the Net Toner to the CONT/TALK position.
3. The Continuity LED will light green:
• Bright green indicates a low-resistance path.
• Faint green indicates a high-resistance path.
• Unlit indicates an open circuit.
When installed cables are too long to test using alligator clips —
1. Place a termination device on the far end of the cable, connecting the
two wires you want to test; or simply connect the two wires manually.
2. Attach the alligator clips to the two wires you want to test.
3. Read the results on the Continuity LED:
• A lit LED indicates that the cable is continuous.
• An unlit LED indicates that it has a break at some point.
Testing Terminated Coax Cables
1. Connect the red test lead to the connector housing.
2. Connect the black test lead to the center pin or to ground.
Testing Un-terminated Coax Cables
1. Connect the red test lead to the outer shield.
2. Connect the black test lead to ground or to the center conductor.
Testing Polarity: Identifying the Tip and Ring
1. Flip the toggle switch to the OFF/Polarity position.
2. Connect the red alligator test lead to the Ring (–) connection; connect
the black test lead to the Tip (+) connection. Or connect a test cable
with RJ12 or RJ45 plugs into the RJ45 modular jack on the Net Toner.
3. To check Line 2 polarity, use the RJ45 jack or RJ11 modular plug
connection.
• Green indicates normal polarity.
