Connecting to Cabling for Certification
.
SmartProbes
2−4
The WireScope Tester uses SmartProbes to connect to cabling runs. The
Tester automatically detects which probes are installed in the WireScope
and DualRemote, and selects matching test parameters.
To connect the Tester to a cable run:
1 Select the correct probe for the type of cabling to be certified. See
Chapter 3, Certifying Copper Cabling, or Chapter 4, Certifying
Fiber Cabling.
2 Insert matching probes in the SmartProbe test ports at the top of the
WireScope and DualRemote.
3 Connect the SmartProbes to the ends of the cable run being tested.
Every WireScope SmartProbe contains a memory chip that keeps track
of how many tests have been performed with the probe. This data is
helpful for determining when the probe is reaching the end of its useful
life.
