Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• Before using the tester, disconnect the cable to be tested from
any device.
• Contact with live circuits could result in severe injury or death.
Features
• Tests UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), STP (Shielded Twisted Pair), and coaxial cable.
• Checks continuity and configuration of wiring with RJ45 plugs.
• Tests for open circuits, shorts, miswires, reversals, and split pairs.
• Shield detection tests a cable's shield integrity.
• Debug mode quickly identifies which cable pairs have a specific wiring fault.
• Main unit and Remote unit allow one person to test T568A, T568B, 10Base-T, and
Token Ring cables.
• Main unit is powered by two 1.5 V (AAA) batteries; Remote unit does not need
battery.
• Low battery indication.
Setup

Identification
Typical Faults
For straight-through cable or crossover cable tests, the tester has two operating
modes: Test mode and Debug mode.
In Test mode, a flashing pair of LEDs indicates that this wire pair has a fault while a
fault indicator LED lights up to indicate which fault was detected. Multiple flashing
pair LEDs indicate multiple pairs and/or multiple faults. In this situation, use the
Debug mode to diagnose the faults in more detail. Correct the faults until the cable is
verified to be correct by using the tester.
Refer to the "Fault Details" section on the last page of this manual.
Note: For some types of cables, so called OPEN is not an abnormal condition.
Therefore, there is no OPEN indicator LED. Open can be identified as an unlit pair or
shield LED when the tester shows the test result. The user should determine if a wire
is present and continuous or OPEN by comparing the illuminated pair and/or shield
LEDs with the expected number of wires (of the cable) that should be good.
