4 Testing other cable

4.1 Testing Video/Coax Cable


Attach one end of coax cable to be tested to F-connector on main unit.

Remove remote unit from main unit by squeezing the remote lightly between the thumb and
forefinger through the openings provided in the main unit and pull it out of the main unit and attach
it to the other end of the cable to be tested.

Press the VIDEO button to switch ON the unit and begin testing. The results are updated once a
second.
 To switch the cable tester OFF, press the VOICE or DATA button.

4.2 Testing Telephone cable

This is the same procedure as Ethernet cable.
The Rev icon will flash if all connected pins are in reverse order and the Pass icon will also be ON if all
6 connections are present. Telephone modular plug cables used between the wall jack and a phone
set are usually reverse pinned.

4.3 Placing a tone on a cable


Connect the cable to be traced to a main unit jack. For the best signal, do NOT connect a remote
to the other end. Due to the shielding effect of twisted pairs, the strongest signal is obtained by
having one wire of a pair carry tone. Selecting a single pin instead of a pair will do this. For video
coax cable, the Tone is best applied to the shield and the shield should NOT be additionally
grounded.

Switch ON the cable tester by pressing the button associated with the connector to be used
followed by pressing the TONE button. Short presses of the TONE button will select a different
pin. Holding down the TONE button for more than 2 seconds will select a different tone pattern.
 To switch the cable tester OFF, press any button except TONE.
The tone will switch OFF automatically after 2,4 hours.
