3. Betjeningsvejledning

The TOOLTOP Network Cable Tester offers various functions. Select the appropriate mode using the 'MODE' button on the host unit.

3.1. Network Cable Length Measurement

Denne funktion måler længden af ​​RJ45 8-kernede eller 4-kernede netværkskabler, telefonlinjer og BNC-videokabler op til 400 meter.

1. Connect one end of the cable to the designated 'Length' port on the host unit.
2. Select the 'Length Measurement' mode on the device.
3. The screen will display the measured cable length.

Figure 3: Network Length Measurement in progress.

3.2. Cable Mapping (Wire Sequence Test)

This function tests for open circuits, crossovers, and short circuits in network cables. The LCD provides clear and intuitive display results.

1. Tilslut den ene ende af netværkskablet til hovedenhedens RJ45-port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the receiver unit's RJ45 port.
3. Select the 'Cable Mapping' mode. The screen will display the wiring status (normal, short, cross, or break).

3.3. Crystal Head Crimping Test (QC)

This test verifies if the network cable's crystal head (RJ45 connector) is properly crimped and connected.

1. Insert the crimped RJ45 connector into the designated QC port on the host unit.
2. The device will indicate if the crimping is correct or if there's an issue (e.g., 'Line 1-core wire is not properly crimped, and the No.1 light does not light up').

Figure 5: QC-Connector Crimping Test.

3.4. Tracing Cables (Line Finding Test)

This feature helps quickly locate a target cable among a bundle, offering both digital and vibration modes.

1. Connect the network cable to be traced to the main unit.
2. Select the 'Tracing Cables (Scan)' mode.
3. Use the receiver unit to scan the cables. The receiver will emit a sound (digital mode) or vibrate (vibration mode) when it detects the target cable. Adjust sensitivity with the wheel on the receiver.

3.5. POE-testning

Test Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems to determine voltage and polarity, compatible with standard and non-standard IEEE802.3AF/AT.

1. Connect the network cable from the PoE source (e.g., PoE switch) to the tester.
2. Select the 'PoE Test' mode.
3. The device will display the PoE voltage og polaritet.

3.6. Port Flash

This function helps identify the corresponding port on a switch or router by making its link/activity LED flash.

1. Connect the network cable from the tester to a port on the network device (e.g., switch).
2. Select the 'Port Flash' mode.
3. The corresponding port's LED on the network device will flash, allowing for easy identification.

3.7. Remote ID Mapping (Optional)

For identifying multiple cable runs in one step, optional remote ID adapters can be used.

1. Tilslut hovedenheden til den ene ende af et kabel.
2. Connect a remote ID adapter to the other end of the cable.
3. The tester will display the ID of the connected remote adapter, allowing you to map cables.

Figure 9: Remote ID Mapping (Adapter is optional).

3.8. NCV Test (Non-Contact Voltage)

Detects whether a circuit is live without direct contact. The sensitivity is adjustable.

1. Select the 'NCV' mode.
2. Bring the top of the receiver unit close to the suspected live wire or outlet.
3. Enheden vil indikere tilstedeværelsen af ​​AC-volumentage. Adjust sensitivity as needed.

3.9. Multimeter Functions (ET623 Only)

ET623-modellen inkluderer et omfattende multimeter til forskellige elektriske målinger.

1. Connect the multimeter test leads to the appropriate ports on the host unit.
2. Select the desired measurement mode (AC/DC Voltage, AC/DC Current, Resistance, Capacitance, Continuity, Diode) using the 'MODE' button.
3. Follow standard multimeter practices for taking measurements.

3.10. Lommelygte

The device includes a built-in flashlight for working in dimly lit areas. Activate it as needed during operation.

4. Vedligeholdelse

• Rensning: Brug en blød, tør klud til at rengøre enheden. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
• Batteripleje: Recharge the host unit regularly, especially if it will not be used for an extended period. Replace the 9V battery in the receiver unit when the low battery indicator appears.
• Opbevaring: Opbevar enheden i dens beskyttende etui på et køligt, tørt sted væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
• Kalibrering: Enheden er fabrikskalibreret. Hvis du har mistanke om unøjagtigheder, skal du kontakte kundesupport for at få hjælp.

5. Fejlfinding

• Enheden tænder ikke: Ensure the host unit's battery is charged or the receiver's 9V battery is correctly installed and not depleted.
• Unøjagtig længdemåling: Verify that the cable is properly connected to the 'Length' port and that the cable type is supported.
• Cable mapping errors: Check that both ends of the cable are securely connected to the main unit and receiver. Inspect the RJ45 connectors for damage.
• Wire tracing not working: Ensure the receiver's sensitivity is adjusted appropriately. Check the receiver's 9V battery.
• Multimeter (ET623) not reading: Confirm test leads are correctly inserted and making good contact with the circuit. Ensure the correct measurement mode is selected.

If issues persist, refer to the detailed troubleshooting section in the included printed manual or contact customer support.
