User manual GENERIQUE SC8108-A

[. . . ] NetWork Cable Tester is the best choice to verify any speech and data cable installation procedure. The tester is capable to have a number of tests such as cable connection sequence, length, user jumper and cable connection continuity and determine any open circuit, short circuit, jumper or cross-talk interference. It is a useful tool to reduce cable installation cost and save cable installation time. 02 Function & Features =One person enough to complete cable continuity check. [. . . ] Length Calibration: User can set calibration factor by himself with a given length cable. Wire Sequence and Locating Cable Error: Check errors such as open circuit, short circuit, reverse connection, crossover or cross-talk interference. (10). Locating Cable 8 far-end passive test jacks (ID 1 ≥ ID 8). (11). Automatic Time-delay Shut Off Time: The tester does not operate for 30 minutes. 04 Interface and Key Description Power Supply The tester uses 4 x 1. 5V Size AA alkaline batteries with power consumption 16 mA. The batteries should be taken out if the tester does not use for a long time to prevent the battery rack from leaking electrolyte corrosion. Tester Panel and Port SC8108-A LOOPBACK port MAIN port LCD display screen power switch function key confirmation/return key function key 05 Operation Procedures Start and display: Carry out self-checking at the same time (The dotted line dynamically displays the course of self-checking from left to right): 5 seconds or push any arbitrary key to display main menu. Main menu display: There are four functions to be chosen on main menu. 1. WireMap --- Wiring diagram measurement to check end-to-end continuity of cables M, L, R and locate error. Pair & Length --- Pair and measure length to verify cable length, open circuit distance, pairing and cross-talk interference. Coax/Tel --- Coaxial cable and telephone line measurement to check continuity and indicate open circuit and short circuit. SETUP --- Calibrate and set up the tester (Refer to description hereinafter). With main menu display, push ===== key to move cursor J[ indicator up and down to desired item and then push PAIR&L key to enter related test function accordingly. 06 Wiring diagram (WIREMAP) test function: After entering the wiring diagram (WIREMAP) test function, the tester shall carry out wiring diagram (WIREMAP) test and displays as follows while checking is being undertaken: Test Result 1: Short circuit (SHORT) It displays as follows if there is any short circuit in cable or terminal: (e. g. 12 short circuit in the sample) At the moment, push ======key to restart testing or push PAIR&L key to return main menu. Always correct short circuit error first and then start further measurement. Test Result 2: Neither far-end matcher (ID) is found nor cable inserts local port (L) The tester will automatically detect far-end matcher (ID) or local port (L) cable and it will display as follows if the far-end of cable to be checked does not insert into the far-end matcher (ID) or if the cable does not insert into the local port (L) in local test: At the moment, push return main menu. == key to restart testing or push PAIR&L key to 07 Test Result 3: Normal wiring diagram (WIREMAP) display The tester will automatically detect far-end matcher (ID) or local port (L) cable and it will display wiring diagram (WIREMAP) as follows if it is found the far-end matcher (ID) or the local port (L) on the far-end of cable to be checked: "R:" line shows RJ45 jack pin number of far-end port and "ID1"is the farend matcher number. "|" line shows the connecting line between far-end port and master port. At the moment, push ==== key to restart testing or push PAIR&L key to return main menu. Test Result 4: Wiring diagram (WIREMAP) display when there is an open circuit at the far-end of cable. "R:" line "3" and "6" pins location display "x", it indicates an open circuit in far-end plug "3" and "6" pins and the open circuit is located nearby the far-end plug. (The open circuit should be located within 10% cable length if it is measured from the far-end plug) Note: If you use far-end matcher (ID) to measure wiring diagram (WIREMAP), because the test is made via the paired two cable cores, the open circuit at the far-end always displays in pair as shown above where there is one open circuit or all are open circuits in the far-end "3" and "6"pins. For identification, it is simple to move the tester to the far-end to have the measurement. 08 Test Result 5: Wiring diagram (WIREMAP) display when there is an open circuit at the near-end of cable. It will display wiring diagram (WIREMAP) as follows if there is an open circuit at the near-end plug of the cable: "M:" line "3" pin location displays "x", it indicates an open circuit at nearend plug "3" pin and the open circuit is located nearby the near-end plug. (The open circuit should be located within 10% cable length if it is measured from the near-end plug) Test Result 6: Wiring diagram (WIREMAP) display when there is an open circuit in the middle of the cable. It will display wiring diagram (WIREMAP) as follows if there is an open circuit in the middle of the cable: "|" line "3" pin location displays "x", it indicates an open circuit in the middle of "3" pin cable. (The open circuit should be located within 10% - 90% cable length if it is measured from the near-end plug. ) For further locating open circuit, the pair and length function (PAIR & LENGTH) of the tester could used as detailed hereinafter. 09 Pair and length measurement (PAIR & LENGTH) function: No matter whether there is a far-end recognizer (ID) at the far-end of the cable, the tester is capable to have pair and length (PAIR & LENGTH) measurement. Therefore, the far-end recognizer (ID) can keep connected in the course of wiring diagram (WIREMAP) and pair and length (PAIR & LENGTH) measurement to avoid repeated insertion and pulling out. [. . . ] For telephone line measurement, it needs accessories: two (2) RJ11 matchers. One is used to connect M port RJ45 and the cable to be checked and the another is used to connect the far-end matcher R port and the cable to be checked. 12 Calibration and setup (SETUP) function: After entering into calibration and setup (SETUP) function, the tester shall display as follows: Push === key to move cursor= J[ indicator up and down to the desired item and then push PAIR&L key to enter related setup function accordingly. UNIT: It is used to set up length unit and shifts between meter (Meter) and feet (FT). [. . . ]
