CHAPTER 4 OPERATION Getting Started The instrument is switched on and off using the green power button found on the lower right side of the front panel. AEMC Instruments Wire Mapper Pro V2.12 TIA568 UTP Vp=75% When the unit is first switched on, it will display the opening screen giving the software version and remaining battery capacity. The wire type (TIA568, STP...) and the Vp (Velocity of Propogation) is also displayed.
• Under Type, the following selections can be made: TIA568 STP TIA568 UTP ISDN USOC UTP USOC STP NOTE: For testing of wiremap in accordance with ISO11801 & EN50137 the product should be set to TIA568 which is the equivalent standard. For FTP and SSTP cables use the STP setting. • Vp is selectable in the range 20% to 100%. (see §...
Testing and Warning (Telecom Network Voltage) The Wire Mapper Pro is designed to work on non- energized circuits only. Make sure that the circuit to be tested is not live before mapping. Turn the unit on and plug it into the port to be tested with a short patch cord.
Service Detection To detect an active data port, plug the unit into the port to be tested using a short patch cable and press the button. SERVICE / Vp The display will show the type of data connection or service present from the following list: Structured Cable Tester Token Ring...

Multiple Faults In the event of a multiple fault, or a cable or link with more than one fault on it, the tester will report the faults in the following order of priority. • Shorts • Reversals • Opens For example, on a cable with an Open on pin 3 and a Short between pins 7 and 8, only the Short in pins 7 and 8 will be reported.
4.11 Cable Length Measurement Structured Cable Tester SERVICE / Vp LENGTH / Vp MAP / WIRE MAPPER PRO MODEL CA7028 The remote unit does not need to be attached for this test to be performed. Although it does not matter if it is attached, any terminators on ISDN wiring or sockets should be switched out of the circuit or disconnected.
The Wire Mapper Pro may also be used as a tone generator, to trace and identify cables and wires. The user will need a cable tone tracer, such as the AEMC Tone Receiver/Cable Tracer Model TR03 (Cat. #2127.76). Structured Cable Tester...
