DISPLAY

1. Pass: "Pass" illuminates if the cable is a properly wired 4-pair T568A/B data cable
or cross-over (uplink) cable. A cross-over cable will have the pin numbers of the
crossed pairs flashing and will alternate with "C".
2. Cable Faults: The "Miswire" icon illuminates if the cable is not wired to one of the
cabling standards. An open or short error takes precedence over miswires and the
appropriate icon(s) illuminates. The "Split" icon illuminates if the designated pairs
are not twisted together in the cable, an AC signal fault.
3. Tester-End Wire Map: The top line displays the pins on the tester end in order.
These pins are mapped to the pins on the remote-end shown directly below them
on the LCD.
4. Remote-End Wire Map: The bottom line displays the corresponding pin on the
remote-end. Dash lines on the remote line indicate shorted pins. No pin numbers
displayed on the remote line are open pairs.
5. Battery Low: The battery low symbol illuminates when the battery is nearing
depletion. The symbol will begin to flash when the battery needs to be replaced.
Results may be unreliable at this point.
6. Shield: The "S" icon illuminates when a shielded data cable is properly connected
at both ends. It will be flashing if there is a short to a wire in the cable along with
that pin number and the "Short" indicator.
7. Voltage Detected Warning: If voltage is detected on any of the tester connectors,
the "Voltage!" icon illuminates. A check for voltage is performed before each test
and if found, no test is run. The tester should be disconnected immediately from
the source of the voltage.
