TESTING PROCESS
(based on the example of a normal balanced XLR cable)
With a normal balanced XLR cable, the pins of the respective XLR connectors are connected to each other 1
to 1.
Connect both ends of the XLR cable to the cable tester and set the rotary switch to position 1. With an intact
cable, both the top (orange) as well as the lower (green) LEDs will light up. This means that pin 1 of the XLR in
the left socket is connected to pin 1 of the XLR connector in the right socket .
Turn on to the positions 2 and 3 - in both cases the two corresponding LEDs should light up one above the
other. In the case of a defective cable where for example, pin1 of the XLR connector in the left socket is not
connected, none of the LEDs will light up (switch in position 1). In the event of a short circuit with another pin,
the first LED in the top row will light up and either the second, third or both LEDs in the second row will light
up.
You can also check, for example, a combined cable such as an XLR on the 6.3 mm jack. Connect the cable:
one end to the left side of the cable tester and the other end to the right-hand side. Now, turn the rotary switch
through the various positions and check the connections.
