5. Setup and Battery Installation

Before using the ET613, ensure batteries are correctly installed in both the transmitter and receiver units.

5.1. Transmitter Battery Installation

• The transmitter requires 3 x AA 1.5V batteries.
• Locate the battery compartment on the back of the transmitter unit.
• Open the compartment cover and insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
• Close the battery compartment cover securely.

5.2. Receiver Battery Installation

• The receiver requires 1 x 6F22 9V battery.
• Locate the battery compartment on the back of the receiver unit.
• Open the compartment cover and connect the 9V battery to the battery clip, then place it inside the compartment.
• Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Note: Always use fresh batteries for optimal performance. If the low battery indicator flashes, replace batteries promptly.

6. Operating Instructions

This section details the primary functions and how to operate the ET613 Network Cable Tester.

6.1. Cable Tracing (Analog/Digital)

The ET613 supports both analog and digital cable tracing modes to locate specific cables within a bundle.

• Connect the cable to be traced to the appropriate port (RJ-45 or RJ-11) on the transmitter unit. For non-standard cables, use the crocodile clip adapter line.
• Turn on the transmitter.
• Select the desired tracing mode (Analog or Digital) on the transmitter using the 'MODE' switch. The indicator light will show the selected mode (Blue for Digital, Red for Analog).
• Turn on the receiver unit.
• Move the receiver's probe along the cable bundle. The receiver will emit an audible tone when it detects the signal from the traced cable. Adjust the loudness knob on the receiver for comfortable listening.
• The signal strength and detected wire information will be displayed on the receiver's LCD screen.

6.2. PoE Voltage and Polarity Check

The device can identify if a port is PoE enabled and measure its voltage and polarity.

• Connect the network cable from the PoE source to the RJ-45 port on the receiver.
• The receiver's LCD will display the PoE voltage and polarity.

6.3. Continuity Test and Wire Pair Quality

Perform continuity tests and assess the quality of wire pairs and connections.

• Connect one end of the cable to the transmitter and the other end to the receiver.
• Initiate the continuity test function. The LCD will show the status of each wire pair (e.g., open, short, cross, split).
• The device will also identify the quality of wire pairs and connections, indicating any faults.
