Avoiding Tester-Induced Failures
Some test failures can be avoided if the tester is properly
maintained and configured. To keep your tester in top
condition, follow these guidelines:
•
Keep the tester's software current. The latest software
is available on the Fluke Networks website. See page
14-2 for details on installing updates.
•
Set the reference for the twisted pair adapters every 30
days. See page 3-1 for details.
•
Run the self test before going to the job site. See page
1-24 for details.
•
Be sure to select the correct test standard and cable
type for the job.
•
Send the testers to a Fluke Networks service center
every 12 months for factory calibration.
