2. Operation
2.1. Battery Installation
- Use the original adaptor and connected device cable.
- When the battery icon is full or the charge indicator turns off automatically, battery charging is complete.
- When the charge indicator turns off, the battery is at approximately 90% of its capacity. The charging time can be extended for about 1 hour, and charging the battery within 12 hours will not damage it.
- Press the key for several seconds to restore the default settings when the instrument works abnormally.
- When using the multimeter function, the red and black leads must be inserted into the corresponding ports.
- Subjecting the instrument communication port to a circuit voltage over 6 V will damage the Tester.
- Do not insert the leads into the current terminals when measuring voltage.
2.2. Instrument Connection
2.2.1. IP Camera Connection
- If the IP camera requires a PoE power supply, connect the IP camera to the Tester’s LAN port. The Tester will supply PoE Power to the IP camera. Click on the PoE icon to turn the PoE Power on or off.
- When using Tester menu to turn the Tester’s PoE power supply on or off, the PoE switch and the power sourcing equipment can be connected to the Tester’s PSE port, and PoE power will be supplied to the IP camera using the Tester’s LAN port. The Tester ...
- A PoE switch or PSE power sourcing equipment can only be connected to the Tester via the PSE In port, otherwise the Tester can be damaged.

2.3.8. IP Camera Testing
- Currently, the IP Camera Test Application supports only specific models manufactured by ACTI, AXIS, Dahua, Hikvision, Samsung, and certain other brands. Use the ONVIF or RTSP applications for unsupported cameras.
- When viewing video in the IP Camera Testing application, the “Video Menu” icon will be displayed in the top right-hand corner. This button provides access to the Snapshot, Record, Photo, Playback, PTZ, and Set functions. Return to the ONVIF section to...
2.3.9. HDMI IN (Optional)
2.3.10. Video Monitor Test
- Check and set the protocols, address, interface and baud rate. All values must be consistent with those of the dome camera. After parameters are set, the Tester is able to control the PTZ and the lens.
- Given that the resolution is 720 x 480 for zoomed in analog output, the images are not always clear.
- Zoomed in IP images have a resolution of 960 x 540 and are therefore very clear. This facilitates IP camera installation.

2.3.16. Network Tool
- Trace route testing should only be used for rough estimation purposes. For accurate test route tracking, use a professional Ethernet Tester.
2.3.17. Rapid IP Discovery
2.3.18. PoE Power - USB Power Output
- Do not input power into the “12 VDC/2A Output” port.
- Do not output 12 VDC/2A power into the Tester’s 12 VDC/In port, as this will damage the device.
- The Tester’s power output is close to 2A. For IP cameras with a power supply over 2 V, the Tester will automatically enter protection mode.
- Disconnect all of the Tester connections, and reconnect the Tester to the power adaptor to restart the Tester.
- Before turning on the PoE power output, make sure the IP camera supports PoE power. Otherwise, the IP camera may become damaged.
- Make sure to plug in the IP camera into the LAN port prior to turning on PoE power.
- Make sure the Tester is full charged, or at least 80% charged. Otherwise the, Tester will display a “Low Power” or “Not Able to Supply Power” message.
2.3.19. Cable Test
2.3.20. RJ-45 Cable TDR Test
2.3.21. Cable Search (Optional)
- The Blue Cable Identifier requires two AAA batteries.
- While the cable tracer is receiving an audio signal from the Tester, there may be interference from adjacent or crossing cables. However, the cable that makes the loudest noise is the one that is connected to the meter.
- The cable tracer battery must be connected according to the corresponding positive pole (+) and negative pole (-). Otherwise, the Tester will be damaged.
- While the cable tracer Tester is receiving an audio signal from the Tester, it may be influenced by other signals and make some noise.
2.3.22. TDR Cable Test (Optional)
- The testing cable cannot be connected to any equipment, otherwise the Tester will be damaged.
- The TDR reflect signal could be affected by the cable quality, cable not being connected, etc., which can cause differences in TDR measurements. The TDR measurement should be used for reference only.
2.3.23. PoE Voltage and Power Measurement
- This test is used for measuring the voltage drawn by the PoE node. The IP Tester must be located between the PoE switch and the PoE node for this test to work.
- The PoE switch must be connected to the PSE In port. The powered device (IP camera or other PoE node) must be connected to the LAN port.
- Do not connect PoE power supply equipment (such as a PoE switch) to the Tester’s UTP/SCAN port. Doing so will damage the Tester.
2.3.24. 12 V Power Input Test
- The battery charging power and the device’s working power is 12 V. The measured power will change depending on the difference between battery power and backlight brightness.
- Do not connect devices with an input power greater than 17 V to the Tester’s 12V In port. This can damage the Tester.
2.3.25. Digital Multi-Meter (Optional)
- Turn off the tested circuit and connect the meter to the circuit for measurement.
- OL indicates the presence of an “over range” situation. A higher range must be selected.
- When the scale of the value to be measured is unknown beforehand, set the range selector to the highest position.
- The maximum current of an mA socket is 660 mA. Over current will destroy the fuse and will damage the Tester.
- The maximum current of the 10 A port is 10 A. Over current will destroy the Tester and will damage the operator.
- AC Mode only allows for “AC” inputs. Damage will result otherwise.
- When measuring in-circuit resistance, make sure that the circuit being tested is unplugged and that all capacitors have been fully discharged.
- The capacitance of a capacitor should be tested separately, and should not be tested on the circuit itself.
- To avoid electric shock, ensure that the capacitors have been discharged fully before measuring the capacitance.
- While testing the capacitance up to 660 µF, the maximum time will be 6.6 second. If the capacitor is damaged or has a leak, the data will not be read. The Tester will return to normal after the capacitor is disconnected.
- The 10 A socket is not equipped with a fuse to protect the device with over range currents. Using the 10 A socket to measure voltage will damage the meter.
2.3.26. Optical Power Meter (Optional)
- Keep the fiber connector and the dust cap clean, and clean the detector with special alcohol.
2.3.27. Visual Fault Locator (Optional)
2.3.28. Audio Recording
2.3.29. Data Monitor
2.3.30. Audio Player
2.3.31. Media Player
2.3.32. RTSP Player
- In the event that the IP Tester does not automatically detect the RTSP stream, refer to the specific camera manufacturer for the specific RTSP stream URL. This information can be found online by searching for a camera’s model number and RTSP.

- Ensure that the cable connected to the Tester’s LAN port is a straight-line cable and that there is no short circuit, otherwise the Tester will be damaged.
- Before using PoE power output, ensure that the IP camera supports PoE power. Otherwise, the IP camera will be damaged.
- The Tester’s maximum PoE power output is 24 W. If an ultra high-power load is connected, the Tester will enter protection mode.
2.3.45. HDMI Output
2.3.46. 12 VDC/2A Power Output
- Do not plug in any power sources into the Tester’s 12 VDC/2A OUTPUT port.
- Hikvision’s warranty does not cover damage due to human error.
- The IP Tester’s power output capacity is 2A. If more than 2A are supplied, the Tester will automatically enter protection mode.
- Disconnect all cables from the Tester and reboot it to resume use.
- The Tester’s power output is close to 2A. If the IP camera’s power is greater than 2V, the Tester will automatically enter protection mode. Disconnect all Tester connections and reconnect the Tester to the power adaptor to resume use.
- Make sure that the Tester is sufficiently charged. Otherwise, it will not be able to provide enough output power.
2.3.47. 5V/2A USB Power Output
- The USB port is for power only and cannot be used for data transmission.
