1. INTRODUCTION

These instructions deal with the Four–Pair UTP
Tester 1490530–1 shown in Figure 1.
The Four–Pair UTP Cable Tester 1490530–1 is a
unique blend of a popular type of low–end tester
interface with an advanced microprocessor controller.
The most popular aspects of this type of tester are an
indication at both ends that the cable has been
tested, no buttons to push to perform a test and a
case that snaps together for storage. The
microprocessor brings the additional features of
automatic power management, split pair error
detection, direct indication of the type and location of
faults and tone generation.

2. DESCRIPTION

The main unit has four green pair lights, a green
shield light, four red fault lights, a red battery low light
and a green tone light. The remote unit has four
amber pair lights. When a connection from the main
unit to the remote is sensed, testing begins
automatically. On the main unit, the lights for each
pair will either be ON, OFF or FLASHING. An ON
light indicates a good pair, an OFF light indicates an

flashing to indicate the type or types of faults. On the
remote unit, the pair lights are either ON or OFF. An
ON light indicates a good pair, and an OFF light
indicates an open or bad pair. Holding down the tone
button until all lights momentarily turn on starts the
Debug Mode. The pairs are stepped through one at a
time to display connection and fault information on a
pair–by–pair basis. A second press of the tone button
turns off debug or completion of two complete cycles.
When not in debug mode, pressing and releasing the
tone button in less than 1.5 seconds causes the
