Checking the cable configuration for LAN cables
Connect the LAN cable (RJ45) to the sender and receiver, and switch the sender to LAN TEST mode. Press
the MODE button (3) until the LAN TEST mode LED (8) lights and the LAN TEST status LED (9) flashes.
Now compare the light sequence of diodes 1 to 8 on the sender and receiver.
There is continuity in the cable if:
– The light sequences of the sender and receiver are the same: 1=1, 2=2 etc.
– The light sequences of the sender and receiver are different, e.g. 1=8, 2=7, etc: cable connections crossed.
– If the G diode also lights up on both devices, the cable is shielded.
There is no continuity in the cable if:
– Diodes 1 to 8 do not light up: cable is damaged, e.g. as a result of a cable break or a connector without
a contact.
– Multiple diodes (1 to 8) flash at the same time and at irregular intervals: short-circuit in cable.
Tip 1: In LAN TEST mode, the speed of the light sequence can be adjusted by pressing the button (3).
The sequence speed is differentiated by the LAN TEST status LED (9) flashing slowly and quickly.
!
Do not perform any measurements in the vicinity of or directly adjacent to live or signal-carrying
cables. There is a risk of fatal electric shocks and damage to the device.

Trace cables
– Make the measuring circuit zero-potential.
!
– Shields in the cable and in the surrounding area (metal coverings, metal supports, etc.)
reduce the range of the receiver.
Receiver RECV
ON: 1x
The device is ready for use immediately once the batteries
OFF: 4x
have been inserted. It does not have a separate ON/OFF
switch and is therefore always active.
Only the sender is required for this application. Connect
the cable terminals to the RJ11 connection and to the
object to be tested, and switch the device to LAN TEST
mode. Press the MODE button (3) until the LAN TEST
mode LED (8) lights and the LAN TEST status LED flashes.
Then keep the MODE button (3) pressed until the LAN
TEST status LED (9) lights continuously. The test circuit
is closed when the LAN TEST status LED (9) lights up.
The test circuit is open if the LAN TEST status LED (9)
does not light. Refer to Tip 1.
