Both the main emitter unit and the remote receiver unit are equipped with rechargeable batteries. Use the provided Type-C cable to charge both units. Connect the Type-C cable to the charging port on each device and to a suitable USB power adapter (not included). The main unit has a 4000mAh battery, providing approximately 6 hours of working time, while the receiver has a 2000mAh battery, offering about 12 hours of working time.

4. Operating Instructions

The LT-600M offers a variety of functions accessible via its touch screen interface. Select the desired function from the main menu to begin testing.

4.1 UTP Cable Test

This function tests the continuity of UTP/STP/RJ45/RJ11 cables. It identifies the sequence, type, and remote kit connection. It can quickly detect near-end, mid-end, and far-end fault points in RJ45 cable connectors. The screen displays the connection sequence, speed (1000/100M), and cable number. The remote unit's indicators assist in identification.

4.2 Cable Tracer

The digital signal Ethernet cable tracer allows you to quickly locate a target cable (BNC, network, telephone, or other metal cables) from a bundle. It effectively rejects noise and false signals, ensuring accurate cable identification. The RJ45 tracer and UTP functions share the same interface for streamlined operation.

4.3 RJ45 TDR Cable Test & Length Measurement

This function tests cable pair status, length, attenuation, reflectivity, impedance, skew, and other parameters. It can measure opens in network cables up to 3000 meters with an accuracy of ±3%. Test reports can be generated.

4.4 VFL Optical Power Meter (OPM)

The OPM is used for signal power testing and insertion loss testing of various equipment and photoelectric components. The VFL (Visual Fault Locator) helps to easily and accurately determine the position of optical fiber fault points, such as breaks, cracks, or bends.

4.5 Digital Multi-Meter (DMM)

The built-in intelligent digital multimeter provides auto-ranging voltage (DC/AC), resistance, and continuity measurements with isolation protection. It also supports diode and capacitance measurements. The device automatically adjusts to zero.

4.6 PoE Detect

The RJ45 PoE Tester supports IEEE802.3BT/AT/AF and non-standard protocol detection. It displays the power supply voltage, power supply pins, and pin polarity. It can detect whether the power output of a PoE switch is normal and identify the pins used for power supply.

4.7 Port Flashing

The LT-600M includes a suite of network tools for diagnostics and management:

• IP Discovery: Scans the network to find active IP addresses.
• IP Address Scan: Performs a detailed scan of IP addresses.
• PING Test: Checks network connectivity and latency to a specific IP address.
• LLDP/CDP Detection: Detects Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) information from connected devices.
• PPPOE Dial-up: Supports PPPOE dial-up functionality.
• FTP Function: Enables users to copy test reports and data via network FTP.

4.9 NCV AC Voltage Detect

The inductive NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) scan function provides sound and light dual alarms, supporting the distinction between live and neutral wires without direct contact.
