BATTERY
The LanMaster 35 operates on four AA alkaline
batteries. Remove the battery cover at the back of the
unit and insert the batteries with the orientation as
shown. Battery polarity is marked inside the battery well
for reference.
TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The LanMaster 35 Power and Link Tester provides seven different test
capabilities: 1) tests network connections for IEEE 802.3af, Cisco pre-standard
and non standard types of power, 2) conducts a power test with an actual load to
verify the amount of power available, 3) measures Link Resistance, 4) identifies
speed and duplex modes for 10/100/1000baseTX Ethernet Links, 5) provides a
Port Identification function with selectable blink rates to locate which port on a hub
or switch that a wall outlet is connected, 6) measures the cable length (only when
the cable is not connected to active equipment), 7) transmits a tone signal that
allows the cable to be traced or a punchdown identified with the CableTracker 15
Tone Probe.

OVERVIEW
The CableTracker Model 15 Probe identifies cables and terminations by
detecting a trace tone signal transmitted by the LanMaster 35. When the Probe is
near the correct cable pair or punchdown, it indicates detection by emitting an
audible signal with the same pattern that is selected on the LanMaster 35.
CABLE TRACING
Connect the LanMaster 35 to the RJ-45 on a cable. Turn on the Model 15
Probe by pressing and holding the button. Place the probe tip near the cable or
termination to be identified and the Probe will emit an audible signal. The audible
signal is loudest when the Probe is near the correct cable or termination point. The
volume can be adjusted by rotating the thumbwheel located above the button. The
Power ”ON” indicator is illuminated when the unit is on and the battery has
adequate voltage.
BATTERY
The CableTracker Model 15 Probe operates on one 9 volt alkaline battery.
Remove the battery cover at the back of the unit, connect the battery to the
battery snap cable, insert the battery in the battery well and replace the battery
cover.
BATTERY LIFE
The Model 15 Probe will operate for approximately 16 hours on one 9 volt
alkaline battery. When the battery is below the level required for the Model 15 to
operate properly, the Power “ON” indicator will not illuminate.
