Product Introduction

Product Operation

Function selection Function

After the product is turned on, this window will appear, and the window will list all the functions of the product; Single-click or long-press the   key to selec a function, and click the OK key to enter the function;

Function operation window
Each function of the product has a specific operation window, which will prompt the connection location and operation of the test cable;| In the function operation window, click the return key to return to the main function selection window (Function)

Length measurement (LENGTH)
This function can measure various cables (more than two cores), including network cables, telephone cables, and coaxial video cables. When measuring, the other end of the line must be suspended and cannot be connected to any device; otherwise, the product may be burned directly. Click the V button to select different types of connections: 8 -core Ethernet \4-core Ethernet\telephone linelvideo line; The length measurement accuracy is 2% 1M. When measuring non-standard lines, user calibration is required to ensure accuracy.

Length calibration (CAL)
Different cables have different conductivity, which is different from the national standard cables, so the measurement results will also be biased. In order to accurately measure various cables, this product is designed with a user self-calibration function. Here’s how to do it:

1. Enter the length measurement function and press A to select the corresponding cable type, connect the cable of known length to the interface, press OK for 2 seconds, the product enters the user self- calibration function mode, the screen displays CAL and flashes the display data, the user can click a or  to adjust the measurement result to be consistent with the actual length; after confirming that it is correct, press OK for 2 seconds, the product saves the calibration value, press other keys to exit the calibration mode, and do not save the calibration data. Calibration of subsequent measurements will get more accurate results;
2. Turn on the machine and select the length function. Press the OK button for 2 seconds without making any adjustments. Press the OK button again for 2 seconds to clear the user calibration data and restore the product to factory settings.
3. During calibration, the reference line used must be at least 5 meters long;

CABLE WIREMAP (WIREMAP)
This function can test the open circuit, line sequence, short circuit, cross and other connection characteristics of the cable. Plug the network cable into the host and the other end into the “RJ45” socket of the receiver. (After about 5 seconds) the host will display the test results as shown below to determine the connection status of the line. Open (1.2)/Cross (3. 4) Short (5. 8) /Normal (6. 7. G

WIRE TRACKER (SCAN)
This function can quickly find the target line among many line pairs. Connect one end of the line (such as network line, telephone line and video signal line that can be transferred by alligator clip) to the host, the receiver select the SCAN function, and listen to the “beep” sound emitted by the receiver speaker around the other end of the line to be tested (such as line terminal telephone system distribution frame, junction box, computer network hub end). Compare the size of the “beep” sound, and the line with the loudest sound is the target line.

The found line can be connected to the RJ45 interface of the interface device, and the STATE light will light up to further confirm that the target cable is correct.

Crystal plug crimping (QC)
This function may test the quality of cable crimping. You need to turn on the machine and select the function first, and wait for the CAL SETUP self- calibration on the screen to complete; Insert the cable into the host according to the interface instructions. Do not connect any device to the other end of the cable. Insert or unplug the test cable, and the results will be automatically updated. / indicates that the crimping of the crystal connector is normal, and X indicates failure.

*Note: This function tests whether the network cable crystal head is crimped normally, and cannot test the line sequence. To test the line sequence, please use the line alignment function; For the crystal head crimping test, the network cable length must be greater than 20cm, otherwise it may be misjudged.

Optical Power (OPM)

Optical power meter can test the optical signal power and attenuation value. Click▲ to select wavelength; Click  ▼A to turn on/off the REF function for testing the attenuation value. Click OK, and the product will hold the current measurement result. Input a standard signal (known power value, press the OK button for 2 seconds, the user can calibrate the optical power meter, the display will show “CAL”, Click or press 2s ▼A/▲ button to adjust (or reset factory value without adjustment), and then press the OK button for 2 seconds to save the calibration result.

Red light pen (VFL)

This function can emit a red laser By connecting the laser to the optical fiber the user can observe the luminous point at the other end of the optical fiber to locate the target among many optical fibers Click the key to switch between different

Port flash (FLASH)
This function can drive the network switch LED to flash, so as to determine the specific port of the target cable; Insert both ends of the network cable into the host and switch ports respectively. Driven by the signal of this product, the corresponding LED lights of the switch ports will flash at intervals of about 3 seconds. Users can determine the target by observing the LED on the switch.

Remote ID (ID)
Select the remote line (ID) identification function; connect one end of the network cable to the ID identifier (optional accessory) and the other end to the host. The host will test and display the corresponding ID number in a timely manner, so as to accurately determine the serial number of the remote network cable; * Remote ID is an optional function;

PoE Measurement (PoE)
The PoE voltage measurement function of the product can measure and analyze the power supply of Poe power supply equipment and test the basic conditions of POE equipment, including the power supply voltage and the positive and negative of the power supply line. Plug the network cable into the host socket and connect the other end to the PoE power supply device. The product will detect the device and enter the corresponding communication as needed and then display the test results; for non- standard PoE, it will directly measure and display the power supply voltage.
Note: connecting a PoE device, the result will be displayed. If the result is not display after 30 seconds, the connected device may not be a PoE device. The actual output voltage of POE will be different from the nominal voltage, which is normal.
