If you explicitly run the Wiremap Cable test while the far end of the cable is attached to a Hub, you may see unexpected results like wires shorted together. This is a normal side effect of forcing a wiremap to be done on a remote device other than a Cable Identifier.

Toner

Press (Toner) to transmit a low (185 Hz to 200 Hz) or high (350 Hz to 375 Hz) tone on the cable for use with a user supplied receiver, such as the Fluke 140 Tone Probe. Using the tone is a way to trace a cable on the network.

Identifying Cables

Use the Cable Identifiers in mapping a cable. (Cable Identifier #1 is standard equipment and comes with the Network Assistant; Cable Identifiers #2 through #6 are optional. See "Optional Equipment" in Chapter 1.)

In mapping cables to individual offices from the wiring closet, the Network Assistant identifies unique Cable Identifiers and displays the wiremap and adapter number.

To map a cable, connect a Cable Identifier to the far end of the cable that you wish to identify (in the wiring closet, for example) and connect the near-end of the cable to the Network Assistant’s RJ-45 network connector.

You can also connect the optional RJ-45-to-Punchdown block adapter to the RJ-45 network connector (with an RJ- to-RJ cable) and quickly map cables to individual offices

by running either the (Wiremap Cable) or (Cable AutoTest).

Define Cable

Press (Define Cable) to select units (meters or feet) and the cable category for the cable you are ready to test.

This Define Cable operation is the same as the one that can be accessed through the Setup screen.

Series II specifications

The Fluke Series II is a cutting-edge line of industrial multimeters that incorporates advanced technology and features tailored for professionals working in critical environments. Renowned for their precision and reliability, these multimeters are quintessential tools for technicians and engineers alike, whether in manufacturing, electrical engineering, or maintenance applications.

One of the hallmark characteristics of the Fluke Series II is its robust design. Constructed to endure harsh working conditions, these meters come equipped with a high-impact casing that protects against drops and vibrations. Their IP67 rating ensures they are dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making them ideal for fieldwork in tough environments.

The Series II boasts a range of measurement capabilities. With the ability to measure voltage, current, and resistance, as well as additional readings such as frequency, capacitance, and temperature, these multimeters deliver unparalleled versatility. Many models in the Series II also feature True RMS (Root Mean Square) measurement capabilities, enabling accurate readings of non-linear and distorted waveforms, which are increasingly common in modern electronics.

Another significant feature is the advanced display technology. The Series II multimeters often come with large, high-contrast LCDs that facilitate easy reading in various lighting conditions. Some models even offer graphical displays, enabling users to visualize trends in measurement data over time.

User-friendliness is also a hallmark of the Fluke Series II. With intuitive interfaces and simplified navigation, users can access advanced features quickly. Auto-ranging capabilities allow the meter to automatically select the appropriate range for the measurement, minimizing user errors and streamlining the testing process.

Fluke's commitment to safety is underscored by the design of the Series II, which includes features such as safety-rated test leads, protective rubber booting, and a high-voltage warning indicator for added peace of mind.

Moreover, the connectivity options within the Series II enable seamless data transfer to PCs and mobile devices, facilitating easier logging and analysis of measurement data. Many models support Bluetooth or USB connectivity, making it easier than ever to integrate multimeter readings into existing data collection and analysis workflows.

In conclusion, the Fluke Series II multimeters stand out for their durability, versatility, and user-centric features. Their combination of advanced measurement technology, rugged design, and safety functions makes them essential instruments for professionals who demand accuracy and reliability in their work. The commitment to innovation and excellence that Fluke exemplifies ensures that the Series II remains a trusted choice in the field of industrial measurement tools.
