Product Usage Instructions
To Operate
Slide the ON/OFF/S switch to ON or S (for Slow) on the main tester.
To Test UTP/FTP RJ45 or RJ11/RJ12 Cables and Connections
- Connect the cable you wish to test to either the RJ45 socket or RJ11/RJ12 socket on the main unit.
- Connect the other end of the cable to the matching socket on the smaller unit.
- For RJ45 cables, if correctly wired all lights from 1-8 will light up green on both units one after the other in sequence and the position of the lights will correspond on both units. For RJ12 lights 1-6 will light up green and for RJ11 lights 1-4 will light up.
- If the cable is cross-wired or incorrectly wired lights from 1-8 will light up green on the main unit in sequence but the sequence will be different on the smaller unit.
- If some lights don’t activate, there is a break in the cable.
- If a single light is lit on the main unit and more than one light comes on the small unit, this indicates a short circuit.
- If the light sequence is too fast, you can slow it down by sliding the ON/OFF/S switch to the S position.
- The G (Ground) light is for FTP shielded cable and will light up on both units if an FTP cable is properly shielded.
WARNING!
- This cable tester should NOT be used to test electrified cables.
- If pin activity lights appear weak, change the battery (1x PP3 9V battery, not included.).
- Testing cannot be verified if connector ends are not fully inserted into the units.
- Always ensure you use quality tools to crimp connections.
- This cable tester is for use with RJ45, RJ11/RJ12 connectors only.
