Switch
The 1st indicator light is off, indicating that the 1st wire of the port is
not connected.
Remote (Far-End) Continuity Detection
While in UTP mode, press the
“SET” key to switch to the
“REMOTE” function. When
the “REMOTE” indicator is
lit, connect the other end of
the cable to the UTP port of
Probe. The REMOTE function
in this case determines
continuity faults within 1
meter of the probe.
The 1-8 and G LEDs indicate
the continuity of the cable
port connected to the probe.
In the picture shown, the 5th wire of the cable port on the side of the cable
tracer (probe) is open, so the 5th indicator in the 1-8 indicators is off.
Mid-Span Cable Continuity Detection
If the cable sequence detects an break in both LOCAL and REMOTE modes,
the break point of the cable is mid-span away from the ports on both sides.
Short circuit test
When the cable is connected
to just the tone generator
and in SWITCH mode,
the indicator lights of the
shortened pairs will flash.
The same is true if the cable
is connected to just the probe
in PORT mode.
If both are connected,
the indicator lights of the
short-circuited pairs on both
devices will flash.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6 and 7 wires are short-circuited
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Continuity Detection with Cables Connected to a Switch
While in UTP mode, press the “SET” key to change to the “SWITCH”
function. When connected to a switch, the 1-8 and G indicator lights show
the continuity of the cable: lights on means connected, lights off means
disconnected, with the 1, 2, 3 and 6 lines indicating a 100M switch and all
lines 1-8 indicating a 1000M. This mode can also detect the short circuit
status of network cables. Simply connect one end of the cable to the RJ45
port of tone generator and the other end to the switch, then check the
indicator light.
