Product function instructions

Transmitter

Continuity testing
Connect one cable end to “QC/TEST” port of the transmitter on the right side, and the other end connect “RJ45” port of the receiver on the bottom.Select in the main menu, and press , it will show the cable types, then press the screen will show the test result, the . triangle indicates the position lo be plugged in.

Click again, it means test again and the result will show again. Click can return to the main menu.

Open, short, cross.and good condition status are as follows

SCAN

1. Connect the cable to be tested to “SCAN” port of transmitter on the top, enter” “in the main menu, press to choose scan mode you prefer , digital mode or analog mode, then set the corresponding mode on receiver accordingly. After that, hold the receiver to locate cable at the other end, the loudest voice is the correct one.
   • The triangle arrow indicates the current function, and the triangle arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted.Click or to return the main menu.
   • Two scan modes selectable: Digital mode/Analog mode, up to 300m.
   • Attention: If the transmitter is in digital scan mode, the receiver must be in digital mode. the analog scan in transmitter matches analog mode in receiver. If the modes are not matched correctly, even the receiver touch the correct cable, it won’t generate tone, either.

Port flash

• Connect one cable end to the “Length/Flash/PoE” port of the transmitter on the right side, select the in the main menu, and press enter the port flash function.
• The screen displays the words “Link test .. “, and the ►triangle arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs lo be inserted.
• If test successfully, the screen will display the green circle and the specification of the current switch (FDX: full duplex / HDX: half duplex) Protocol (Auto-Nego / Non-Auto- Nego). The circle, and the port on the router (or switch) will flash, if there is a port whose flash frequency is same as the circle on transmitter, the frequency is around 3 secs, also the other ports are flashing more quickly, then you can easily identify it is your target port. But if test fails, the screen will display “Test Timeout”, maybe because the cable is not plugged in properly.
• And the two lights of the “Length/Flash/PoE” port will also flash althe same frequency. The circle in the screen will also flash with the port lights, moreover, the solid circle and the hollow circle will flash synchronously.

Hub blink for locating network port by the flashing port light on Hub / Switch. Available to 1OM/100M/1000M Hub/ switch.

Note:
When the cable length is less than 5 meters, the test cable length value is for reference only.

Length
Connect one end of cable to “Length/Flash/PoE” port.disconnect the cable at far end, choose on the main menu, and select the cable type and unit (meter/ yard/ feet ) before testing.
Choose “Start Testing” press C!l3 to measure and the result will show on the screen. The triangle arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted. If the cable is short or broken, the the data will be red.

1. The Ian cable to be tested must be de-energized.
2. Disconnect the cable at the far end, no other devices connected!
3. The range must be 2.5m~200m, otherwise, it would be display 0 meter.

PoE test

It can test the information of standard PoE device, such as POE voltage, power supply polarity, power supply mode and also the type of PSE(af or at standard). If the PoE device is non-standard, it can also test POE voltage, power supply polarity, power supply mode, but it can’t tell the type of PSE, just display “Non standard”.

Connect the cable into”Length/Flash/PoE”port, the testing result display as below image.

Attention:

1. If all the 8 pins are providing power, it won’t display polarity.
2. If connected with PoE device, the result can be displayed after a few secs, it there is no result displayed after 30secs, then the device connected may not be PoE device.

QC testing for crystal head

Connect one of cable end to the “QC/TEST” port.Select in the main menu, and press to start test. The triangular arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted, and press can return to the main menu.

Plug and unplug the cable tested, the result will be updated automatically. ✓ indicates that the channel is normal, and X indicates that the channel is abnormal.

Optical power meter

The optical power meter can test the optical power and the attenuation value of the light.
Insert one end of fiber cable into OPM port,select in the main menu, and press to enter the optical power meter function.
The triangular arrow indicates the current position where the cable needs to be inserted, and the data can be updated in real lime. Press return lo the main menu.

The icon indicates the current selection item. From top to bottom, the top means the unit can be switched and the bottom means the wavelength can be switched.

1. Available Unit: dBm, dB, or mw, uw, nw

2. Available Wavelength: 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm, 1625nm.
   Insert one end of the fiber cable end into OPM port , choose the unit and wavelength you needed before test.

After testing the optical power, press to select REF, when the icon is the front of REF, long press key to automatically save the current optical power value to be the second blue area, which means that you have saved the test reulst of measured optical power this time. When measure again, you can compare the previous result with current result to know the attenuation value of the device testing.

Pess the icon can switch Unit, Wavelength. When the icon in the front of the certain item, means can switch them through press Refer below operation pictures.

Pess the icon can select lhe”User value setting” . Press to open User value setting, press again to start set the “optical power”, press to± (increase or decrease) numerical value. Press return to the main menu.
