On-site PoE Power Measurement
PPM-1000 OVERVIEW
PPM-1000 is a handheld tester for the applications of
Power over Ethernet (PoE). It performs on-site
measurement of the running voltage and supplying power
at the end of Ethernet cable terminal in any length for PoE
PSE/PD devices which complies with IEEE802.3af.
PPM-1000 provides for field engineer a convenient on-site
tester with compact size to verify PoE, measure the voltage,
and examine the maximum power from PSE to PD at the
end point of the Ethernet cable.
Powered by replaceable and rechargeable battery, the
portable PPM-1000 allows the technical personnel to test
terminal for PD in the fields.
With 3-digit LED display, it shows the PoE status and the
maximum power available from PSE. Pass/Fail LED
indicators may inform technician the results instantly.
With built-in Terminal Block connectors, PPM-1000 is able
to clamp and hold the bare wires of network cable for test
before clamping into the RJ-45 connector. PPM-1000 is
truly the best handy tool for the installation of PoE PD
devices. With the tester, it shall successfully guarantee
the PoE power provision to PD devices.

Start/Set(-) Button：
Set the desire maximum power (Watt) for test:
Push and hold Start/Set(-) button for 3 seconds to enter for
configuration of maximum power limit. It confirms with a
beep sound and the 3-digit LED display start blinking.
Press the Start/Set(-) or Start/Set(-) buttons to set the
desired power limit Then, push and hold Start/Set(-) button
for 3 seconds to exit the configuration stage.
Press once to start measurement and press again to finish
the test procedure.
Display/Set(+) Button
Select options for displaying the Voltage, Power
Consumption Limit and Temperature.

While LED PWR/TEST is in orange during testing, the
3-digit Display shows the instantaneous power values.

While LED PWR/TEST is in green , the 3-digit display will
show the final result of power measurement.
Note that if the LED OK/NG is in
green OK , it indicates the
power from PSE is able to provide the desired power
consumption limit; else LED OK/NG will be in
orange NG ,
indicating the power is not enough for the PD requirement.
