The instruction of product application
Cable tracer
Connect the network cable into the emitter’s RJ45 port, connect BNC cable or
RJ11 telephone line to the emitter’s BNC or RJ11 port. If no connector cable,
can use crocodile clips to clip the bare copper wire.
-
Adjust the switch of emitter to the “Scan/UTP” mode, press “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 model at the same time to trace the wire.
-
Rotating the knob of 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 MUTE mode. In this mode, the signal strength indicator light is used to trace the wire. When received the strongest signal, the eight indicator lights are on. Press “MUTE” again to exit MUTE
mode. -
Quickly verify the tracking result (only for RJ45 port). After found the cable, connect the network cable to 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.
Port continuity detection:
Press “MUTE” button, when the indicator light of port is on, the 1-8 and G indicator lights will show the connection of the line of the RJ45 connector or within 1 meter from RJ45 connector. As shown on the right, If the light is on, it means it is connected and vice versa. -
The UTP port of emitter and receiver can max 60V withstand voltage, the wire can be traced directly in connection with PoE switch.
UTP detection
Sequence and pair line continuity detection
Step 1: Connect the network cable or telephone cable to the RJ45 port of
wire tracer emitter, and connect the other end to the UTP interface of the
wire 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, 100M and 1000M indicator will
indicate whether the cable is 100M or 1000M network, the cable receiver also
can see the sequence. Can quickly determine the cable whether is normal
through wire tracer emitter or wire receiver, if indicate Direct/ Cross, the
cable is normal. After the 8 indicators flashed, the wire receiver will beep
to indicate the type of network cable. One sound is a straight cable, two
sounds are a cross cable, and three sounds are another or wrong cable.
Network cable port continuity detection
In the UTP mode, press “SET” key to switch “LOCAL” mode.
Local port continuity detection: when the “LOCAL” indicator is on, connect the
other end of network cable to 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 pins of network cable port on the side
of wire tracer emitter is disconnected, the 1 indicator is off of 1-8
indicators, it means 1pin of port is disconnected.
Under UTP mode, press “SET” key to switch to the “REMOTE” function
Remote port continuity detection: The “REMOTE” indicator is on, connect the
other end of the cable to the UTP port of cable tracer (Receiver).
1-8, G indicator indicates the continuity of the cable port which connected to
the Remote end (Receiver) or the cable within 1 meter from the port. As shown
in the picture below, the 5th pin of the cable port on the side of the cable
tracer (receiver) is disconnected, and the 5 indicator in the 1-8 indicators
is off, indicating that the 5th pin of the port is disconnected and the other
pins are connected.
The middle of cable (mid-end) continuity detection: If the cable sequence detects that the pins of the cable are disconnected, and the local / remote pins 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.
Continuity detection in the state of connected switches
Under UTP mode, press “SET” key to switch to the “SWITCH” function. The
“SWITCH” indicator is on, when connected to a switch, 1-8, G indicator
indicates the continuity of the cable, lights on means connected, lights off
means disconnected.
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 4578.
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 RJ11 adapter cable be
connected to telephone line
( Note: If the telephone cable with welled RJ45 connectors, directly
connect telephone cable to RJ11 port)
If the red indicator is on, it means the red wire clip is positive, and the
black clip is negative; if the green indicator is on, it 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.
