Operation Loopback test (using the Master Unit): 10Base-T Cable Test Plug one end of the cable under test into the source RJ45 socket, (marked with the p arrow), and the other end of the cable under test into the second, receiving RJ45 socket. Switch the Master Unit on.
Modular Cable Test Please refer to the procedures for 10Base-T Cable Test. However, in this test, the LED display should be as shown in picture 2. Note: You will need to use a RJ45 to RJ11 adaptor, not supplied. Picture 2 10Base-2 Cable Test Plug the two RJ45 to BNC adaptor cables (supplied) into the RJ45 sockets on the Master Unit.
As the 10Base-2 cable has only two wires, we suggest you scan using manual mode although ‘Auto’ mode can still be used. Remote Test (using the Master and Remote Units). Plug one end of the cable under test to the source RJ45 socket (marked with the p arrow) of the Master Unit and the other end to the receiving RJ45 socket of the remote unit.
Test Result Continuity: Pin 2 is connected Open: Pin 2 is Open circuit Short: Pin 2 and Pin 3 are short circuited Miswired: Pin 3 and Pin 6 are incorrectly wired Warning Do not operate the tester in a live circuit because damage may occur to the tester.
