4. Opsætning

4.1 Batteriinstallation

Both the Emitter and Receiver units require a 9V DC battery (not included) for operation.

1. Find batteridækslet på bagsiden af ​​hver enhed.
2. Skub eller afklips dækslet for at åbne rummet.
3. Connect a 9V battery to the battery clip, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Placer batteriet i batterirummet, og luk dækslet forsvarligt.

4.2 Tilslutningskabler

Use the appropriate adapter cables (RJ45, RJ11, or alligator clips) to connect the Emitter to the cable you wish to test or trace. The Receiver is used to detect the signal or verify the cable status.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Wire Tracing (SCAN Mode)

This mode is used to locate a specific wire among a bundle of cables.

1. Connect the Emitter to one end of the target cable using the appropriate adapter (RJ45, RJ11, or alligator clips).
2. Set the Function Selector Switch on the Emitter to 'SCAN'. The 'STATUS' indicator will light up.
3. Turn on the Receiver by adjusting the PWR-VOL switch. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
4. Use the Receiver's probe to scan the cables at the other end or along the cable path.
5. When the probe is near the target wire, the Receiver will emit an audible tone. The signal indicator LEDs will also light up.
6. The target wire is identified by the loudest tone and brightest signal indicator.
7. For clearer audio, connect the earphone to the Receiver's headset jack.

5.2 LAN Cable Testing (TEST Mode - RJ45)

This mode verifies the wiring sequence and identifies faults in RJ45 network cables.

1. Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the Emitter's RJ45 port and the other end to the Receiver's RJ45 port.
2. Set the Function Selector Switch on the Emitter to 'TEST'.
3. Observe the Wire Sequence Indicator LEDs (1-8, G) on both the Emitter and Receiver.
4. Normal forbindelse: LEDs on both units will light up sequentially from 1 to 8, then G (ground), indicating a correct wiring sequence.
5. Åbent kredsløb: If a specific LED (e.g., '3') does not light up on either unit, it indicates an open circuit on that wire.
6. Kortslutning: If two or more LEDs light up simultaneously or out of sequence, it indicates a short circuit between those wires.
7. Cross-Connection: If the sequence of LEDs on the Receiver differs from the Emitter, it indicates a cross-connection.

5.3 Telephone Cable Testing (TEST Mode - RJ11)

This mode is used for 2-wire telephone cables to check continuity and state.

1. Connect one end of the RJ11 cable to the Emitter's RJ11 port using the RJ11 adapter.
2. For cable state testing, connect the other end of the RJ11 cable to the line you wish to test.
3. Set the Function Selector Switch on the Emitter to 'TEST'.
4. Line DC Detecting and Anode/Cathode Determination: The Emitter will indicate the presence of DC voltage and its polarity.
5. Ringing Signal Detecting: The Emitter can detect if a ringing signal is present on the line.
6. Open, Short, and Cross Testing: Similar to LAN cable testing, the LEDs will indicate faults.

5.4 Brug af LED-lommelygten

The Receiver unit includes a built-in LED flashlight for working in dimly lit areas.

• Locate the Spotlight Switch on the side of the Receiver unit.
• Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the flashlight.
• Skub kontakten til 'OFF'-positionen, når den ikke er i brug, for at spare på batteriet.

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Udskiftning af batteri

When the low battery indicator illuminates or the unit's performance degrades, replace the 9V battery in both the Emitter and Receiver units as described in Section 4.1.

6.2 Rengøring og opbevaring

• Rengør enhederne med en blød, tør klud. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
• Opbevar enheden et køligt, tørt sted, væk fra direkte sollys og ekstreme temperaturer.
• Hvis enheden opbevares i længere tid, skal batterierne fjernes for at forhindre lækage og beskadigelse af den.

7. Fejlfinding

7.1 Ingen strøm

• Ensure the 9V battery is correctly installed with proper polarity.
• Udskift batteriet med et nyt.
• Check that the power switch (PWR-VOL on Receiver, Function Selector on Emitter) is in the 'ON' or 'SCAN'/'TEST' position.

7.2 No Signal During Wire Tracing

• Verify the Emitter is set to 'SCAN' mode.
• Ensure the Emitter is properly connected to the cable.
• Adjust the Receiver's volume to maximum.
• Confirm the Receiver's probe is in close proximity to the target cable.
• Check for excessive electromagnetic interference in the environment.

7.3 Incorrect Cable Test Results

• Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the Emitter and Receiver.
• Verify the Emitter is set to 'TEST' mode.
• Inspect the cable and connectors for visible damage.
• Test with a known good cable to confirm the device is functioning correctly.
