b) Test procedure
Only test cables that are not carrying a voltage. Cables carrying a voltage may damage
the product and endanger you as the user.
Only ever connect one cable.
1. Check the battery level before each test. Refer to “Inserting the battery and checking the
battery status”.
2. Connect the ends of the cable to the corresponding sockets. For example, if you want to test
a CAT5 cable with RJ45 plugs, connect one plug to one of the CAT5 sockets and the other end
to the other CAT5 socket.
3. Turn the level switch to test the connected contacts/conductor. Refer to “a) Special
congurations”formoreinformationonconguringthecontacts.
- The right LED indicators 1-8 (yellow) (1) represent the plug connected on the right-
hand side, and the left LED indicators 1-8 (green) (2) represent the plug connected
on the left-hand side.
- Continuity: If there is continuity, the LED indicators (yellow and green) light up for
the corresponding contact.
- No continuity: The LED indicators do not turn on.
- Defect: If there is a defect or a conductor was not connected on purpose, neither
of the LED indicators turns on.
- Short circuit to ground: If there is a short circuit to ground, the GND LED indicator
turns red.
- Swap: If contacts or conductors are swapped (whether on purpose or
accidentally), the device will test for continuity from the plug connected to the
left-hand side. For example, if contact 1 (conductor 1) on the plug connected to the
left-hand side is connected to contact 2 (conductor 2) on the plug connected to the
right-hand side, the LED indicator 1 (green) and LED indicator 2 (yellow) turn on.
• Continuity test: Test probes with banana plugs are included with the product. To carry out
a continuity test using the banana sockets (9), insert the banana plugs into the two sockets
[ red = plus (+), black = minus (-) ]. You will hear a beep sound if there is continuity.
Maintenance and cleaning
• Disconnect all cables before cleaning.
• Remove the battery before cleaning the product.
• Under no circumstances should you service any of the components in the interior of the product,
therefore never open/dismantle it.
• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these could
damage the housing or even impair the functioning of the product.
• Adry,softandcleanclothissucientforcleaning.Donotpresstoohardonthehousingasthis
can lead to scratch marks.
Disposal
a) Product
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be disposed of in the household
waste.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory
regulations.
Remove any inserted battery and dispose of it separately from the product.
b) Batteries
You as the end user are required by law (Battery Ordinance) to return all used batteries. Disposing
of them in the household waste is prohibited.
Contaminated batteries are labelled with this symbol to indicate that disposal in the
domestic waste is forbidden. The designations for the heavy metals involved are:
Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead (name on batteries, e.g. below the trash icon
on the left).
Used batteries can be returned to collection points in your municipality, our stores or
wherever batteries are sold.
