The instructions for product application

Cable tracer

Connect the network cable to the emitter’s RJ45 port, and connect the BNC cable or RJ11 telephone line to the emitter’s BNC or RJ11 port. If no connector cable, can use alligator clips to clip the bare copper wire .

1. Adjust the switch of the emitter to the “Scan/UTP” mode, and press the “SET” key to switch to UTP/STP mode. The green light of the “UTP/STP” indicator means normal mode, while the red light is shielded mode. Turn on the wire receiver at the same time to trace the wire.
2. Rotating the knob of the receiver to adjust the sensitivity. When the cables are very close, can adjust to the small sensitivity to find the cable.
   • Long press the “MUTE” key for silent mode. In this mode, the signal strength indicator light is used to trace the wire. When the strongest signal, the eight indicator lights are on. Press “MUTE” again to exit MUTE mode.
3. Quickly verify the tracking result (only for the RJ45 port). After finding the cable, connect the network cable to the wire receiver “UTP” port for pair line detection. For example, When the “Straight/Cross/Other” lights up, indicates the verification of the matching cable. The indicator also shows the type of the cable. The 1-8 and G indicators show the detection of line sequence by default, and the order in which the indicator lights up is the sequence of the line. When connected to the cable, the receiver indicates the cable status by sound, the “di” sound is connected pair lines, the “du” sound is short circuit pair lines, and all indicator lights of short circuit pairs are on at the same time.
4. Port continuity and short circuit detection:
   • Press the “MUTE” button, when the indicator light of the port is on, the 1-8 and G indicator lights will show the continuity of the line of the RJ45 cable connector or within 1 meter from the RJ45 cable connector. As shown on the right, If the light is on, it means it is connected, and vice versa. One end of the network cable is connected to the receiver, but the other end is not connected to the emitter, press “Mute”, and the “Port” light on, can test the continuity and short circuit of the network cable.
   • Application: Connect one end of the network cable to Switch, and the other end connects to the RJ45 port of the emitter, press the “SET” key to switch to the “SWITCH” mode, If the 1236 indicators light on, that is 100M switch, If 12345678 indicators light on, that is 1000M switch.
5. The UTP port of the emitter and receiver can max 60V withstand voltage, the wire can be traced directly in connection with the PoE switch

UTP detection

Sequence and pair line continuity detection

• Step 1: Connect the network cable or telephone cable to the RJ45 port of the emitter, and the other end connects to the UTP interface of the receiver. (The wire receiver needs to be turned on)
• Step 2: Switch the wire tracker emitter to UTP mode, the 1-8 and G indicators will indicate the sequence of cable, and 100M and 1000M indicators will indicate whether the cable is 100M or 1000M network, the cable receiver also can see the sequence.
• Quickly determine the cable whether is normal through the wire tracer emitter or wire receiver, if indicates Direct/Cross, the cable is normal. After the 8 indicators flash, the wire receiver will beep to indicate the type of network cable. One sound is a straight cable, a double sound is a cross cable, and a triple sound is another or the wrong cable.

Network cable port continuity detection

• In the UTP mode, press the “SET” key to switch to “LOCAL” mode.
• Local port continuity detection: when the “LOCAL” indicator is on, connect the other end of a network cable to the wire receiver “UTP” port or disconnect the UTP port, the 1-8 and G indicators indicate the continuity status of network cable port or within 1 meter of network port which connected wire tracker emitter.
• As shown in the picture below, the 1st core of the network cable port on the side of the emitter is disconnected, and the 1st indicator is off, which means 1st core of the port is disconnected.
• Under UTP mode, press the “SET” key to switch to the “REMOTE” function
• Remote end continuity detection: The “REMOTE” indicator is on, connect the other end of the cable to the UTP port of the Receiver.
• 1-8, G indicator indicates the continuity of the cable port which is connected to the Remote end (Receiver) or the cable within 1 meter from the port. As shown in the picture below, the 5th core of the cable port on the side of the cable tracer (receiver) is disconnected, and the 5th indicator in the 1-8 indicators is off, indicating that the 5th core of the port is disconnected and the other cores are connected.
• cores of the cable are disconnected, and the local/remote cores are detected to be connected, indicating that the break point of the cable is in the middle position away from the ports on both sides.

Short circuit test

1. Not connect receiver end
   Emitter mode: The indicator lights of the short circuit pairs are flashing
   Switch mode: The indicator lights of the short-circuit pairs are on.

2. Connect receiver end

   • Sequence mode: The indicator lights of the short-circuit pair are on at the same time.
     Emitter and Remote mode: The indicator lights of the short circuit pairs are flashing.

   • Note: Under the port mode of the receiver, the indicator lights of the short circuit pairs are flashing.

Continuity detection in the state of connected switches

• Under UTP mode, press the “SET” key to switch to the “SWITCH” function. When connected to a switch, 1-8, G indicator indicates the continuity of the cable, lights on means connected, and lights off means disconnected (The 100M switch is 1236 line connected, the 1000M switch is 1-8 lines connected). In this mode, connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 port of the emitter, and the other end of the cable disconnects to the switch, also detect the short circuit status of the network cable, the indicator light will be on if short circuit.

PD powered detected

• PoE switch or PSE power supply device connected to the “PD” port of the cable tracer, if the indicator light is on, it means PoE voltage output working normal. There are 4 indicator lights of the “PD” port, when testing
  the pins used of PoE switch for power supply, if 1236 indicator light is ON, it means PoE switch supply power through Pin 1236. If 4578 indicator light is ON, it means PoE switch supply power through pins 4578. If 1236 and 4578 indicator lights are ON, it means device power supply through pins 1236 and

• Application: Checking the pins used of PoE switch or other device for power supply, to avoid cause cannot supply power or camera and other device damaged.

Other features

• Line DC level and positive/negative polarity testing
• Turn off the emitter, the red and black wire clip of the BNC cable connects to the telephone line or battery, and the other end connects to the BNC port.
• (Note: If the telephone cable with welled RJ45 connectors, directly connect the telephone cable to the RJ11 port)
• If the indicator light is in green, that means the red wire clip is positive, and the black clip is negative, if the indicator light is in red, that means the black wire clip is positive, and the red wire clip is negative. The level is higher, the indicator light is brighter, the level is lower, the indicator light is darker.
