5.2 Powering On/Off

Press and hold the power button on each unit to turn it on or off. The main unit's IPS screen will illuminate upon startup.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 UTP Cable Test

This function tests the connection sequence, type, and remote kit of UTP cables, quickly detecting near-end, mid-end, and far-end fault points of RJ45 cable connectors.

  1. Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the RJ45 Network Port on the main unit.
  2. Connect the other end of the RJ45 cable to the UTP Cable Test Port on the remote receiver unit.
  3. On the main unit's touch screen, navigate to the "Cable Test" function.
  4. Initiate the test. The screen will display the connection status, wiremap, and any detected faults.

6.2 Cable Tracer

The digital signal Ethernet cable tracer helps quickly locate target cables (BNC, network, telephone, and other metal cables) from bundles, effectively rejecting noise and false signals.

  1. Connect the cable to be traced to the main unit.
  2. Select the "Cable Search" function on the main unit.
  3. Use the remote receiver unit to scan the cable bundle. The receiver will emit an audible tone, increasing in volume as it approaches the target cable.
  4. Adjust the sensitivity knob on the remote unit for precise tracking.

6.3 RJ45 TDR Cable Test & Length Measurement

The TDR function allows testing of cable pair status, length, attenuation, reflectivity, impedance, skew, and other parameters. It can measure opens in network cables up to 3000 meters.

  1. Connect the RJ45 cable to the main unit.
  2. Select the "RJ45 TDR Test" or "Cable Length" function.
  3. Start the test. The screen will display detailed parameters and the measured cable length.
  4. Reports can be created and saved via the FTP function.

6.4 Optical Power Meter (OPM) and Visual Fault Locator (VFL)

The built-in OPM is used for signal power and insertion loss testing of optical equipment. The VFL helps easily and accurately determine the position of optical fiber fault points.

  1. For OPM: Connect the optical fiber to the OPM port. Select the OPM function to measure optical power.
  2. For VFL: Connect the optical fiber to the VFL port. Activate the VFL function to emit a red laser light, which helps locate breaks or bends in the fiber.

6.5 PoE Detection

The RJ45 PoE Tester supports IEEE802.3BT/AT/AF and non-standard protocol detection. It displays power supply voltage, power supply pins, and pin polarity.

  1. Connect the network cable from the PoE source to the PD Power Tested Port.
  2. Select the "PoE Detect" function.
  3. The screen will display PoE protocol, voltage, and active pins.
