4.1 Inite Prensipal

Imaj 4.1: Devan view of the TM-901N Main Unit.
The main unit features an LCD display for showing test results and cable status. It includes several control buttons:
- Bouton TEST: Initiates a cable test.
- L/W Button: Toggles between Length measurement and Wiremap display modes.
- SET/UNIT Button: Used to enter settings mode and change measurement units (e.g., meters, feet).
- Arrow Buttons (Left/Right): Used for navigation in settings or for reviewrezilta tès yo.
4.2 Remote ID Locator

The remote ID locator is a passive unit used in conjunction with the main unit to test installed cables. It connects to one end of the cable while the main unit connects to the other. The remote unit is labeled "ID 1" for identification.
4.3 Rear Panel and Wiring Diagram

Imaj 4.3: Dèyè view of the TM-901N Main Unit with wiring diagram.
The rear panel of the main unit includes the battery compartment and a printed wiring diagram for reference, showing standard T568A/B pin assignments for RJ45 connectors.
5. Enstalasyon
5.1 Enstalasyon batri
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the rear of the main unit.
- Slide the cover open or remove it as indicated.
- Mete yon nouvo pil 9V, asire w ke polarite a kòrèk (+/-).
- Ranplase kouvèti lòj batri a byen.

5.2 Connecting Cables for Testing
Before connecting any cables, ensure they are disconnected from all active network devices.
- For patch cables (uninstalled cables): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 port on the main unit and the other end to the RJ45 port on the remote ID locator.
- 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
- Ensure the cable is properly connected to the main unit and the remote ID locator.
- Peze a TÈS bouton.
- 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
- After performing a test, press the L/W button to switch to Length measurement mode.
- The display will show the estimated length of the cable.
- To change the unit of measurement (meters, feet), press the SET/UNIT button while in Length mode and use the arrow buttons to select the desired unit. Press SET/UNIT ankò pou konfime.
7. Antretyen
7.1 Netwayaj
Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the device.
7.2 Ranplasman batri
When the battery low indicator appears on the display, replace the 9V battery as described in Section 5.1. Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
7.3 Depo
Sere aparèy la nan yon kote ki fre epi sèk, lwen limyè solèy dirèk ak tanperati ekstrèm. Kenbe l nan anbalaj orijinal li oswa nan yon kouvèti pwoteksyon lè w pa itilize l.
NAN. Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Aparèy pa limen. | Low or dead battery; incorrectly installed battery. | Replace the 9V battery; check battery polarity. |
