  • For installed cables: Connect the main unit to one end of the installed cable (e.g., a wall jack) and the remote ID locator to the other end of the cable (e.g., in a patch panel).

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

6.1 Limen/Etenyen

The device typically powers on automatically when a cable is connected and the TEST button is pressed, or by pressing the TEST button. It usually powers off automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery.

6.2 Performing a Cable Test

  1. Ensure the cable is properly connected to the main unit and the remote ID locator.
  2. Peze a TÈS bouton.
  3. The tester will automatically scan the cable and display the results on the LCD.

6.3 Interpreting Test Results (Wiremap)

The LCD will display the wiremap, indicating the connection status of each wire pair. Common indications include:

  • Pase: All wires are correctly connected (1-1, 2-2, etc. for straight-through, or appropriate cross-over mapping).
  • Open/Discontinuity: A break in one or more wires. The display will show which wire(s) are open.
  • Kout-sikwi: Two or more wires are touching. The display will indicate the shorted wires.
  • Incorrect Connection/Miswire: Wires are connected to the wrong pins at one or both ends. The display will show the incorrect mapping (e.g., 1-3, 2-6).
  • Pè fann: A more complex fault where two pairs are swapped, but the wiremap appears correct. The tester is designed to detect this.

6.4 Measuring Cable Length
