  • Page 4: Product Overview

    Product Overview The LAN Network Cable Tester is a powerful tool which can: • Help prevent and solve network cable installation problems. • Check telephony and data cable installations. • Carry out a number of tests such as cable connection sequence, length, user jumper, cable connection continuity and can detect open circuits, short circuits, jumper or cross-talk interference.
  • Page 5: Interface And Key Description

    Interface and Key Description Power Supply The tester uses 4 x 1.5V size ‘AA’ alkaline batteries with power consumption 16mA (Included). The batteries should be removed if the tester is not used for a long time to prevent the battery pack from leaking which will result in corrosion. (Note disposal advice on page 1).

    Operation Procedures Start and Display Carries out a self-check, (The dotted line displays the progress of the self-check from left to right). Wait 5 seconds or push any key to display the main menu Main Menu Display There are 4 functions to select from the main menu: Wire Map –...
  • Page 7: Wiring Diagrams And Test Functions

    Wiring Diagram (WIREMAP) test function: When the wiring diagram, (WIREMAP), test function is selected, the tester will carry out a wiring diagram (WIREMAP) test and displays the following information while the check is being carried out: Test 1: Short Circuit (SHORT) If there is a short circuit on the cable or terminal, it will be shown on the display.
  • Page 8 Test 3: Normal wiring diagram (WIREMAP) display: The LAN Network Cable Tester will automatically detect the far-end matcher (ID) or local port (L) cable and it will display the wiring diagram (WIREMAP). If it finds the far-end matcher (ID) or the local port (L) on the far-end of the cable being checked, the display will show the following: The ‘R:’...
  • Page 9 Test 5: Wiring diagram, (WIREMAP), display when there is an open circuit at the near-end of the cable: The display will show a wiring diagram, (WIREMAP), as shown below if there is an open circuit at the near-end plug. On the ‘M:’ line, pin ‘3’ displays ‘x’, indicating an open circuit towards the near-end plug on pin ‘3’.
  • Page 10: Pair And Length Measurement

    Pair and Length measurement (PAIR & LENGTH) function: Whether or not there is a far-end recogniser, (ID), at the far-end of the cable, the LAN Network Cable Tester is capable of carrying out a ‘Pair and Length’ (PAIR & LENGTH) measurement. Therefore, the far-end recogniser, (ID), can remain connected during a wiring diagram, (WIREMAP), and pair and length (PAIR &...
  • Page 11 Test 2: Normal pair and length (PAIR & LENGTH) display The LAN Network Cable Tester, in ‘Pair and Length’ mode, will display information typical to that shown below when the cable is under normal conditions. It shows the ‘Pair’ line number followed by the cable length. Press the p or q key to restart the test or press the ‘PAIR&L’...
  • Page 12: Coaxial Cable And Telephone Line Measurement Function

    It will display an ‘x’ to indicate an open circuit if the length is less than 90% of the other line pair length. In the example shown, the open circuit is located at around 89.7m from the tester. The open circuit line number could be rechecked using the WIREMAP function.
  • Page 13: Calibration And Setup Function

    Calibration and setup, (SETUP), function: When the Calibration and Setup function is selected, the LAN Network Cable Tester will show a display typical to that shown below: Press the p or q keys to move the cursor ‘->’ indicator up and down to the required item and then press ‘PAIR&L’...
  • Page 14 Press the p key to select ‘Yes’ and start the measurement. The measured length is displayed as below: Hold the p and q keys (-/+) to display the length adjustment to achieve the actual cable length and then press the ‘PAIR&L’ key to save the calibration factor and exit the calibration function.
