PREPARATION FOR USE
INITIAL CHECKS
This instrument was checked both mechanically and electrically prior to
shipment. All possible cares and precautions were taken to let you receive the
instrument in perfect conditions. Notwithstanding we suggest you to check it
rapidly (eventual damages may have occurred during transport). Make sure that
all standard accessories mentioned in § 7.4.1 are included. Should you have to
return back the instrument for any reason please follow the instructions
mentioned in § 8.
POWER SUPPLY

FUNCTION KEY DESCRIPTION
ON/OFF key
By pushing ON/OFF key permits to turn on the instrument. For an instant all
display segments light up, then the firmware release appears on the top right
side. When “on” is displayed the instrument is ready to start (see Fig. 3)
Fig. 3: Initial screen of instrument
By pushing long (>1s) ON/OFF key to switch off the instrument
UTP and STP keys
By pressing UTP or STP keys it’s possible to select the type of cable to be
tested, with the following difference: STP performs also tests on the shield
(continuity and proper connections) while UTP doesn’t. Consequently STP must
be pressed for all shielded cables such as: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair cable),
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair cable), SSTP (Shielded/Shielded Twisted Pair cable)
and SFTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair cable)
CAUTION
By default the selected cable is STP. Any time the instrument is turned off
and on such type of cable is automatically selected\
GO key
By pushing GO key to activate the wire mapping test of LAN cable connected
between the instrument’s input and the remote unit used (see § 5.1).
keys
By pushing or keys for the selection of the errors detected by the instrument
at the end of wire mapping test on cable (see § 5.2). By pushing long (>2s) of
UNIT/ key permits to activate/disable the backlight
Auto Power OFF feature
The instrument is provided with Auto Power OFF (APO) feature which
automatically permits to switch it off after approx..4 minutes of idleness in
order to preserve the internal battery.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CABLING TEST VERIFY
The wire mapping of RJ45 LAN cables is tested in accordance with its defined
cabling layout. To test a cable perform the below steps:
- Switch on the instrument by pushing the ON/OFF key
- Select the type of cable UTP or STP under test (see § 4.3.2).
- Connect the cable under test to the meter and to the remote unit by using if necessary through supplied patch cables (see Fig. 4)
- Press GO key. The message “MEASURING…” is shown and the instrument performs all tests related to the selected type of cable
- If cabling is correct, a screen like this is displayed (OK). The identification number refers to the remote identifier connected to the other end of the cable being tested.
- If cabling is not correct, a screen like this is displayed. Referring to this example:
- “NOT OK” indication and caution symbol means that the test have given some errors
- “FAULT 1/3” means that the detected errors are 3, of which the first one is currently displayed. By pressing or / keys it’s possible to run over the remaining screens and display other cabling errors
- Details on the detected error are given on the left side: e.g: the couple 1-2 is OPEN
- If the instrument detects the presence of a voltage > 0.2V on the RJ45 input, it shows the message in the screen on the right and do not perform the test. Eliminate the cause of the presence of voltage (e.g.: coupling due to the presence of electrical cables close to cable of LAN networks). The maximum allowed voltage between inputs is 24V
CABLING ERRORS
SPLIT PAIRS EXPLANATION NOTE
A LAN cable contains 8 conductors, twisted two by two thus forming 4 pairs:
1-2, 3-6, 4-5, 7-8. The error “SPLIT PAIRS” consists in the exchange of two
conductors belonging to different pairs. The pin to pin correspondence seems
intact, but physically the conductors of two couples are split. Such
interaction hardly affects (or even makes impossible) the exchange of data at
high frequency/speed.
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INFORMATIONS
