Cable tracing
This function is used to locate the target cable in a cable bundle.
Plug the loose end of the network cable into the SCAN port (2) on the transmitter, and select SCAN (Cable tracing) in the main
1.
menu, and then press the OK button (7).
1.
Select the digital mode or analog mode on the transmitter for cable tracing and press the OK button (7). To switch between the scan
modes on the receiver, press the SCAN button (19). The transmitter and the receiver must be set to the same mode. The analog
mode enables cable tracing at a distance up to 300m. The scan indicator glows in red when the device is in digital mode, and it
flashes in red when the device is in analog mode.
1.
Press the NCV button (20) on the receiver.
2.
Place the receiver near the cable bundle and move the receiver along the cable to trace it. When the sensor is in the close proximity
to the target cable, the receiver will emit a beeping sound. To detect the cable more accurately, lower the sensitivity. Turn the
sensitivity adjustment knob (17) on the receiver clockwise to adjust the sensitivity (1 to 8 levels). The closer the device is to the
object, the louder the signal will be.
Port Flash function
This function is used to locate an exact port on a network switch or on a router to which the tested cable is connected.
1.
Plug one end of the network cable into the Length/Flash/PoE port (4) of the transmitter; the other cable end is connected to a PoE
switch.
2.
Select Flash (Port Flash function) and press the OK button (7). The following text will be displayed on the screen: Link test. The
circle on the display and LEDs under the Length/Flash/PoE port (4) will flash with the same frequency as the LED of the target port,
and different from the other LEDs. The corresponding specification will be displayed on the screen: FDX (full duplex) / HDX (half
duplex), Auto-Nego protocol / Non-Auto-Nego protocol. If the test fails or if the cable is incorrectly plugged in, the following text will
be displayed: Test time out.
!
If the length of the cable is less than 5 meters, the displayed cable length value is given only for reference.
Cable length measurement
This function is used to measure the length of a cable.
1.
Plug one end of the testing cable to the Length/Flash/PoE port (4) on the transmitter and leave the other cable end disconnected.
Select Length in the main menu and press the OK button (7).
2.
3.
Choose the required cable type and unit of measurement (meter, yard, foot).
4. Select Start testing and press the OK button (7).
!
The cable length range shall be of 2.5m to 200m, otherwise the displayed value will be 0m.
!
If the cable is damaged or if the wires within the cable are short-circuited, the corresponding data will be displayed in a red font.
Possible outcomes are shown below:
PoE test
This function is used to identify the pins that provide PoE (Power over Ethernet), the PSE type (standard or non-standard), polarity,
mode, and voltage.
1.
Plug the loose end of the PoE cable into the Length/Flash/PoE port (4) on the transmitter and the other end is connected
a corresponding port on the PoE source equipment (such as a network switch, router, etc.).
2.
Select PoE (PoE test) in the main menu and press the OK button (7).
Possible outcomes are shown below:
!
If all 8 pins are used for power supply, the voltage polarity will not be displayed.
!
If there is no test result displayed within 30 seconds, it may mean that the equipment connected is not the power supply
equipment.
