secondary unit. Corresponding LED number tells how the cable is connected. Open can be detected when a beeping tone is heard. This can also be seen when 1) the TX LED is illuminated without a corresponding RX LED, and 2) momentary flash of the B/L light.

b.Pair Test Mode: Press On/Mode twice

On the tester’s RX LED column, the lit LED indicates the cable type (cable type description is to the left of the lit LED). Next, look for the corresponding cable type to the left of the TX LED column. Then use the TEST button to check each pair listed in the appropriate column of the chart. Solid red LED light indicates pair is GOOD. Tone sounding and blinking red LED light indicates pair is BAD. Furthermore, the “SHORT”, “CROSS”, ”MISW”, “REV”, or “OPEN” LED will flash to identify the pair’s specific problem.

c.RX → TX test mode: Press On/Mode three times to allow test signals are sent from the RX port through the cable into the TX port

LED will illuminate in sequence one at a time on both the main unit and secondary unit. Corresponding LED number tells how the cable is connected. Open can be detected when a beeping tone is heard. This can also be seen when 1) the RX LED is illuminated without a corresponding TX LED, and 2) momentary flash of the B/L light.

d.Tone Generator Mode: Press On/Mode four times to send a tone through the

cable Use the “TEST” button to send the tone via i) one of the wires, ii) the shield/ground, or iii) all wires and the shield. The tone can be detected by Addlogix Tone Probe (CTK-PROBE) or other standard tone probe.

The tester’s auto shut off function will not function in this mode. Please make sure the tester is turned off when it’s not in use.

3.Testing Coaxial Cables: To test coaxial cables, connect the optional RJ45-Coaxial adapters to the testers then plug the coaxial cables into the adapters. Test results are shown on the tester’s LED display on pin #1 (cable’s center conductor) and pin #2 (cable’s ground).
