4.1.2. Switch on of instrument
To switch on the instrument press the ON/OFF key. For an instant all display segments
light up, then the firmware release appears on the top right side. When “on” is displayed
the instrument is ready to start.
4.1.3. Selection of cable type
By pressing UTP or STP keys it’s possible to select the type of cable to be tested, with the
following difference: STP performs also tests on the shield (continuity and proper
connections) while UTP doesn’t.
Consequently STP must be pressed for all shielded cables such as:
 FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair cable)
 STP (Shielded Twisted Pair cable)
 SSTP (Shielded/Shielded Twisted Pair cable)
 SFTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair cable)
CAUTION
By default the selected cable is STP. Any time the instrument is turned off
and on such type of cable is automatically selected
