5. Opsætning

5.1. Batteriinstallation

The LINK LKMS06 requires one 9V battery (not included) for operation.

  1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the Master unit.
  2. Åbn batterirummets dæksel.
  3. Insert a new 9V battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-).
  4. Luk batterirummets dæksel forsvarligt.

Note: The Remote unit does not require a battery as it is powered by the Master unit through the cable under test.

6. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1. Tilslutning af kablet

  1. Separate the Master unit and the Remote unit if they are connected.
  2. Connect one end of the HDMI cable (Type A or Type C) to the corresponding port on the Master unit.
  3. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the corresponding port on the Remote unit.

6.2. Selecting Test Mode

The LINK LKMS06 offers three testing modes: Auto Fast, Auto Slow, and Manual. Use the switch on the Master unit to select your desired mode.

  • Auto hurtig: The tester cycles through each pin connection quickly. This mode is suitable for quick checks of cable continuity.
  • Auto Slow: The tester cycles through each pin connection at a slower pace, allowing for more detailed observation of the LED indicators.
  • Manual: In this mode, you can manually step through each pin connection one by one. This is useful for pinpointing specific issues on individual pins.

6.3. Interpreting LED Indicators

Both the Master and Remote units feature 19 LEDs corresponding to the 19 pins of an HDMI cable, plus an additional LED for the shield connection. When a pin is correctly connected, its corresponding LED on both the Master and Remote units will illuminate simultaneously.

  • LED On (both units): Indicates a good connection for that specific pin.
  • LED On (one unit only): Indicates an open circuit (break) in the cable for that specific pin.
  • Multiple LEDs On (one unit, or unexpected pattern): May indicate a short circuit or miswiring.
  • No LED On: Indicates an open circuit for that specific pin.

The tester verifies continuity and correct configuration for all 19 poles and the ground connection. This allows you to determine how many conductors are connected, which is crucial for assessing the cable's standard compliance and quality.

6.4. Testing Cable Lengths

The LINK LKMS06 can test HDMI cables up to 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) in length.

7. Vedligeholdelse

7.1. Rensning

To clean the device, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the casing eller interne komponenter.

7.2. Opbevaring

When not in use, store the LINK LKMS06 in its zippered carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the 9V battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.
