  • Page 7 Removing the Remote Unit: Before remote test, you must remove the Remote Unit from the Main Unit. To do it, hold the Main Unit with a hand, use another hand to hold the Remote Unit and slide it upwards or downwards. Slide the Remote Unit upwards or downwards.
  • Page 8 TYPICAL FAULTS For straight-through cable or cross-over cable tests, the tester has two operating modes: Test mode and Debug mode. In Test mode, a flashing pair LED indicates that this wire pair has a fault, meanwhile a fault indicator LED lights up to indicate which fault was detected.
  • Page 9 Reversal The pin for one wire in a pair is connected to the opposite pin for this pair in the remote jack. Miswire Improper assignment of individual wire pairs to pins for the wiring schemes tested. Split Pairs Split pairs occur when the tip (positive...
  • Page 10 conductor) and ring (negative conductor) of two twisted pairs are interchanged. Note: For some types of cables, so called " OPEN " is not an abnormal condition. Therefore the tester does not an " OPEN " indicator LED. Open is displayed as an unlit pair or shield LED when the tester shows the test result.

    1. Connect the Main Unit to one end of the cable to be tested and the Remote Unit to the other end of this cable. 2. For TIS 880, set the Mode Selector Switch to the " Cable " position. 3. Press the TEST key and then release it.
  • Page 12 tester shows the test result - flashing pair LED indicates this pair has fault, meanwhile fault indicator LED lights up to indicate the fault. 4. The test will last about 12 secs, then the tester will turn off automatically. At any time, you can stop the test manually by pressing the TEST key again, the tester will turn off.

    LED is the destination of test. 1. For TIS 880 set the Mode Selector Switch to the " Cable " position. Then press and hold the TEST key until all LEDs light, then release the key.
  • Page 14 b. If a pair has fault(s), its pair LED will give a short flash, then this pair LED, other pair LEDs related to this pair's fault(s), and the fault indicator LED(s) will give a long flash simultaneously. c. If a pair LED gives only a short flash without a succedent long flash, this pair has a OPEN fault.
  • Page 15 " SHORT " red LED give a long flash simultaneously. 2. Pair 3-6 LED gives a short flash, then pair 3-6 LED, pair 1-2 LED and the " SHORT " red LED give a long flash simultaneously. 3. Pair 4-5 LED flashes two times in series, meanwhile no fault indicator LED lights.
  • Page 16 HOW TO TEST A CROSSOVER CABLE ( for EM2426 only ) The method of testing crossover cable is almost the same as that of testing straight -through cable, the only difference is: The Mode Selector Switch is in the " Standard " position when you test straight-through cable;...
  • Page 17 HOW TO TEST COAXIAL CABLE 1. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to be tested to the BNC socket of the Main Unit and the other end of the coaxial cable to the BNC socket of the Remote Unit. Note: The terminators on the cable to be tested should match the BNC sockets of the tester.
  • Page 18 For coaxial cable tests, the Mode Selector Switch can be in any function position. HOW TO VERIFY A CABLE ( for TIS 880 only ) 1. Connect the Main Unit to one end of the cable to be verified and ID test terminals (optional) to other possible ends of this cable.
