Intermittent Connections
To test for broken connections
1.
While in test mode with a cable plugged into both an In and Out, press the
reset button to clear the Intermittent LED's.
2.
Next, move the suspected cable end around vigorously while plugged in.
3.

tent LED's will light up showing where the break is taking place.

Installed Cable Mode
To test the integrity of a fixed cable or one in which both ends are unable to be
connected.
1.
To enter Installed Cable Mode, Press and hold the Reset button while
Switching from off to Cable Tester. The On LED light will on and off to
indicate that you are in Installed Cable Tester Mode.
2.
Insert a cable into the one of the outputs.
3.
The LED grid will now show any short circuits, if any by indicating which out
pins are connected. If there are no LED's lit, then there are not short circuits
in the cable.
To test for continuity in Installed Cable Mode
1.
With the Installed cable plugged into the output of the cable tester, attach
a shorting jack to the other end of the cable, or connect the ends.
2.
If the integrity of the cable is intact, the short circuit should show up on the
cable tester. If it does not, then there is a break in the cable.
