Test-Um NT955 Series ValidatorTM Operations

Operations

The Validator-NT main unit is powered on by pressing the red power button. When powering on, the unit will display a series of start up screens until the Start screen is reached, which contains the main menu. At the top of every screen the following information appears - The name of the screen being displayed “Start, Auto Test” etc., the current job name, the battery condition and the date/time from the internal clock.

The Validator-NT always has a file open, which is the current file name that appears at the top of the screen, so that data can be saved in the event of auto-power down. The last job opened will remain as the current job until changed even through on and off cycles.

The Start screen has five buttons: Auto Test, Manual Tests, Network Tests, Job Manager, Setup and Properties. You can navigate between these buttons with the arrow keys that move from left to right on each row.

Auto Test

Selecting this button takes you to a menu of five functions used to work with existing jobs or create new jobs and test cables. Test Results are automatically saved and can be downloaded to Plan-Um to document and archive the job.

Cable Test Schedule: Tests cables from a predefined job file or define- as-you-go Cable Schedule using Pass/Fail criteria.

Site Information and Contractor Information: View, edit or create this job information.

Custom Cable Definitions: View existing cable definitions and create or edit custom cables.

Job Utilities: File utilities used to create or manipulate job files.

Manual Tests

Select this button to test data, phone, or 2 wire cables without defining the job, cable name or type. The specified test is run and the raw results displayed without pass or fail criteria being applied. Manual tests cannot be saved as Auto Tests can.
