CABLE TESTING
At first, turn the rotary switch fully
clockwise to test the battery strength. The
battery LED will light bright green if the
internal battery is fully charged.
Then plug one end of the cable into the
appropriate jack on the left side panel of
the cable tester. Plug the other end of the
cable into the appropriate jack on the right
side panel. Set the rotary switch to "1" to
test the connection of contact 1 on the plug
inserted into the left side panel.
If there is a connection, the green LED will
light below "1" and a yellow LED will light
above each contact on the right side plug
connected to "1" on the left side plug. Use
the charts below to verify proper cable
connections.
If no LED lights, then there is no connec-
tion and the left side contact "1" is "floa-
ting" due to design or an "open" in the
cable.
Set the rotar y switch to "2" to test
contact 2, and so on, until all contacts have
been checked.
If the Ground LED lights then there is a
connection between the corresponding
contacts and the chassis.
To test the cable with a banana plug, just
plug each end of the cable into the banana
jacks. The LED will light and the unit
will beep a tone if there is a connection
between the plugs. These banana jacks
can also be used for continuity tests using
two probe leads.
