2.1 PROFINET/Ethernet test mode (DATA/SEL Button)
In this mode the cable tester uses the RJ 45 Jack on the main unit and the "Remote Unit" to test a
cable.
The cable tester can switch between;
4 wires / 2-pairs (DATA2 mode)
PROFINET and other Industrial Ethernet networks with shielded cable.
8 wires / 4-pairs (DATA1 mode)
Regular Ethernet or 1Gbps Industrial Ethernet cable.
Press DATA/SEL for 2 seconds to switch between DATA1 and DATA2 mode.
The tester declares pins 1-2, 3-6, (4-5 and 7-8) as pairs and displays the "Pass" icon when all pins are
correctly wired in a one-to-one order. If the 1-2 and 3-6 pairs are crossed, the "Pass" icon will be
displayed along with a blinking "Uplink" icon. Uplink cables are also known as cross cables. For
shielded cable (PROFINET), the remote ID will flash alternately with "S" to indicate presence of
shielding.
2.2 Tone generator (TONE button)
The tone mode generates audio tones for use with tone tracers on selected pins.
The signal generated on a pair has the positive signal on one pin and the complement of the signal on
the other pin of the pair, yielding a nominal 10 volts peak-to-peak across the pair.
The pin number of the pin or the letters "P" (for pin) and "S"(for shield) being driven with tone and the
currently selected tone pattern is displayed on the screen along with the "Tone" icon and the icon for
the connector assumed to be used.
The TONE button steps to the next connector pin(s) drive option when pressed less than 2
seconds.
