Function Tester in XLR Plug
These instructions are intended for users with basic knowledge in audio technology. Please read the instructions carefully prior to operation and keep them for later reference.
Applications
Is this situation familiar to you? The microphone on the stage does not
provide any signal to the front of house and you are the one in charge of
finding the error? Is the error due to the micro‑phone or the cable? Or to the
multicore cable or the mixer channel? An ohmmeter is currently not at hand or
its battery is almost discharged.
The MONACOR solution: Just connect the CTG to the microphone cable and
activate the phantom power supply – the tester will then indicate the error.
Three CTG versions are avail‑able: CTG‑1NOISE with pink‑noise generator,
CTG‑1WNOISE with white‑noise generator and CTG‑1SINE with 100 Hz sine wave
generator.
Important Notes
The tester corresponds to all relevant directives of the EU and is therefore
marked with .
The tester corresponds to the relevant UK legisla‑tion and is therefore marked
with UKCA.
- The tester is suitable for indoor use only. Protect it against dripping water, splash water and high air humidity. The admissible ambient temperature range is 0 – 40 °C.
- For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use water or chemicals.
- No guarantee claims for the tester and no liability for any resulting personal damage or material damage will be accepted if the tester is used for other purposes than originally intended, if it is not correctly connected, or if it is not repaired in an expert way.
If the tester is to be put out of operation definitively, take it to a local recycling plant for a disposal which is not harmful to the environment.
Operation
- Mute the audio system.
- Set the mixer channel where the signal is not available according to the signal source (microphone, instrument etc.) and activate the phantom power supply.
- Instead of the signal source, connect the tester to the audio cable.
- The LED on the tester will indicate the error detected:
LED| Status
---|---
Flashes twice| Pin 2 of the cable defective
Flashes three times| Pin 3 of the cable defective
Does not light up at all| Pin 1 of the cable defective or phantom power supply not available
Lights up continuously| Generator signal available: To check, unmute the audio system; the generator signal should be audible. Check the signal source!
