5) Select from the following Fluke Test Limits, for which warranty is desired:

• TIA Cat 6A Permanent Link

• ISO Class E

Permanent Link

6) Begin testing your installed permanent link with the Fluke DSX-5000 Series Digital Cable

Analyzer and save all test results.

7) Troubleshoot and repair any failing permanent links. Permanent links resulting in a PASS*

are considered a PASS and will be acceptable for warranty.

Note: The Fluke HDTDX analyzer and HDTDR test are very helpful when troubleshooting

failing channels. Both can be found on the SINGLE TEST menu and will also run

automatically when a failure occurs. Also make sure that Store Plot Data is set to Extended

under Setup/Instrument settings.

8) Submit electronic permanent link test reports to the PANDUIT Warranty Department with all

required warranty paperwork. A warranty will then be given based on passing test results.

Note: PANDUIT recommends that installers install and test multiple permanent links before

completing the entire system.

Permanent Link Testing (Alternate Method)

1) Verify that your DSX-5000 Series tester has the most up-to-date software. The latest

software updates can be found on the Fluke website at:

2) Perform a Set Reference procedure in the special functions prior to testing. Fluke Networks

recommends that a Set Reference procedure be performed every 30 days to ensure the

maximum accuracy of the test results. DSX Reference Module part# DSX-REFMOD, is

recommended for Category 6A testing.

For detailed instructions on Set Reference procedure, refer to Fluke Network’s DSX-5000

Series Users Manual page 36, on “Set the Reference”. The link for the User’s Manual is:

Note: Fluke Networks also recommends factory calibration once a year to ensure that the

test tool meets or exceeds the published accuracy specifications.

3) Select the Fluke Permanent Link Adapter (DSX-PLA001) and attach it to the DSX-5000

Series Main unit.

4) Select the Fluke Channel Adapter (# DSX-CHA004S) and attach it to the DSX-5000 Series

Remote unit.
