6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Cable Tracing and Locating

This function helps identify and locate a specific cable among a bundle of cables.

1. Connect one end of the target cable to the RJ45 SCAN port on the transmitter unit.
2. Turn on the transmitter. Select the 'SCAN' mode using the UP/DOWN buttons.
3. Turn on the receiver unit and press its 'Scan' button.
4. Move the receiver's probe along the bundle of cables. A distinct tone will be emitted when the probe is near the target cable. Adjust the volume on the receiver as needed.
5. The anti-jamming feature helps reduce interference from other electrical signals, providing a clearer tone.

6.2. Cable Length Measurement

The NF-8200 can measure the length of LAN and telephone cables up to 2000 meters.

1. Ensure the cable to be measured is disconnected from all network devices.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 Main port (for LAN cable) or RJ11 port (for telephone cable) on the transmitter unit.
3. Navigate to the 'LENGTH' or 'MEASURE' mode on the transmitter's LCD using the UP/DOWN buttons.
4. Press the 'PAIR/CALIBRATE' button to start the measurement. The LCD will display the cable length in meters.
5. The device can also indicate the location of a cable break point.
