Image Description: The BSIDE FWT11 Multi-Function Wire Tracker consists of two main components: an emitter and a receiver probe. The emitter is a blue handheld device with an RJ45/RJ11 interface, a rotary knob for function selection (SCAN, TONE, CONT, TEST, OFF), and indicator lights. The receiver is a pen-like probe with an ON/OFF switch, a volume rotary knob, a spotlight, and indicator lights for wire scanning and power. Both devices are designed for network and telephone cable testing.

Main Functions

• Wire tracing: Trace RJ11, RJ45, cables, or other metal wire (via adapter). Easy and fast to locate the breakpoint without opening the wire's cover.
• Network cable collation: Judge short-circuit, breaking circuit, open circuit, and crossing.
• Test line level, positive and negative polarity.
• Status of telephone line checking: Test the working status of telephone line (idle, ringing, and off-hook) and judge TIP and RING line.
• Check wire continuity.

General Technical Parameters

• Temperature: Operating: 0 °C ~ 40 °C, maximal 80% relative humidity (non-condensing). Storage: -10~50°C, maximal 80% relative humidity (non-condensing, battery not included).
• Altitude: <2000m (meter)
• Anti-explosion rating: IP 40
• Distance of emitting signal: 300m or so
• Battery: Emitter: 6F22/9V; Receiver: 6F22/9V

Operation Method

Wire Tracing

This function is capable of quickly finding the required line pairs among numerous ones. It is adaptable to network cable RJ45 terminal, telephone line RJ11 terminal. Via an adapter, it can test other metal wires.

Operation method:

1. Turn the emitter's function rotary knob to SCAN position.
2. Connect one end of the tested line to the corresponding terminal of the emitter (e.g., RJ45, RJ11) or connect to RJ11 terminal via an adapter.
3. The SCAN indication light on means the emitter starts to send a signal to the tested wire.
4. Power on the receiver, hold the receiver, and press the "SCAN" button to test the other end of the tested line (e.g., near line stacking of telephone line distribution cabinet, terminal box, hub, and exchanger). Compare the sound sent by the receiver; the line with the loudest sound close to the probe will be the target.
5. Adjust the volume of the receiver by pressing the volume rotary knob during the test to adapt to the site environment.

Note: You can connect a headset to the headset jack of the receiver in places with loud noise.

Network Cable Collation

It tests the physical connection status of network cable, such as open circuit, short connection, miswire, and reverse connection.

Operation method:

1. Turn the emitter's function rotary knob to Network position.
2. Connect one end of the network cable to the RJ45 socket of the emitter, and connect the other end of the network cable to the RJ45 socket of the receiver.
3. Press the "TEST" button to start the test. Line pair indicator lights will show the results.
4. Short connection: If 2 or more lights are on simultaneously on the receiver, it indicates a shorted wire. The number of lit lights indicates the quantity of shorted wires.
5. Open circuit: On the receiver, the corresponding line pair indicator light will not turn on.

Test Line Level, Positive or Negative Polarity

Use the emitter to test DC level, positive or negative polarity in circuits.

Methods to operate:

1. Set the transmitter's rotary knob to telephone stalls; the transmitter begins to work.
2. Connect the RJ11 crystal head terminal of the adapter to the RJ11 terminal of the emitter. Clamp the tested line with a red-black clip.
3. If the telephone line status indicator light turns red (in the middle of the button switch), the red end is positive, and the black end is negative. If it turns green, the red end is negative and the black end is positive.
4. The light is brighter when the level is higher. The light dims when the level is lower.

Continuity Checking

Operation method:

1. Turn the emitter's function rotary knob to CONT position.
2. Connect the RJ11 crystal head terminal of the adapter to the RJ11 terminal of the emitter. Clamp the red and black clip to the two ends of the tested wire.
3. The "CONT" light being on means the wire is continuous. Less line impedance results in a brighter light.
