5. Istruzioni per l'uso

The Mastfuyi Network Cable Tester offers multiple functions for diagnosing network and telephone cables.

5.1 Cable Sequence Calibration (Network Cable Test)

This function detects the wiring sequence, open circuits, short circuits, wrong pairs, and reverse connections in network cables (Cat5, Cat6).

1. Collegare un'estremità del cavo di rete alla porta RJ45 sull'unità trasmittente principale.
2. Connect the other end of the network cable to the RJ45 port on the receiver unit (if applicable, or the remote unit).
3. Turn the function knob on the main unit to the 'NETWORK' or 'TEST' position (refer to device markings).
4. Observe the LED indicators or display on both units. They will light up in sequence, indicating the wiring status. Any deviation (e.g., missing lights, incorrect sequence, or lights indicating short/open) will identify the fault.

5.2 RJ45/RJ11 Cable Tracking (Line Finding)

This feature allows you to locate a specific cable within a bundle without stripping its insulation.

1. Connect the RJ45 or RJ11 cable to be traced to the corresponding port on the main transmitter unit.
2. Turn the function knob on the main unit to the 'SCAN' or 'TONE' position. The transmitter will generate an audible tone.
3. Use the receiver/probe unit to scan along the cable path. The probe will emit an audible sound, which will be loudest when it is near the target cable.
4. Adjust the sensitivity of the receiver if available, to pinpoint the exact cable.

5.3 Telephone Line Status Detection

This function helps determine the operational status of a telephone line (idle, ringing, off-hook) and identify TIP or RING lines.

1. Connect the RJ11 test lead to the telephone line and the corresponding port on the main unit.
2. Turn the function knob to the 'PHONE' or 'LINE' position.
3. The device will indicate the line status (e.g., LED for idle, flashing for ringing, continuous for off-hook) and identify the TIP and RING lines.

5.4 Cable Level and Positive/Negative Polarity Detection

Use the transmitter to detect the DC level or positive and negative polarity of a line.

1. Connect the test leads to the line you wish to test.
2. Selezionare il volume DC appropriatotage or polarity detection mode on the main unit.
3. Il display mostrerà il DC voltage level and indicate the polarity (positive or negative).

5.5 Transmitter Undervoltage Indicazione

The device includes a low battery warning to ensure reliable operation.

• When the function knob of the transmitter is set to the 'SCAN' position, if the transmitter's battery voltage falls below the operational threshold, the 'SCAN' indicator will flash.
• When this indicator flashes, replace the batteries immediately to maintain accuracy and functionality.

5.6 funzioni aggiuntive

Figure 4: The device features a bright LCD backlight, a protective rubber sheath, and a stable back bracket for convenience.

• Bright LCD Backlight: Migliora la visibilità in ambienti scarsamente illuminati.
• Protective Rubber Sheath: Provides durability and protection against drops and impacts.
• Stable Back Bracket: Consente al dispositivo di stare in posizione verticale per consentirne l'utilizzo a mani libere.

6. Manutenzione

6.1 Sostituzione della batteria

When the undervoltage indicator flashes, replace the batteries:

1. Assicurarsi che il dispositivo sia spento.
2. Aprire il vano batteria sul retro.
3. Rimuovere le vecchie batterie e smaltirle secondo le normative locali.
4. Inserire nuove batterie AAA, rispettando la polarità corretta.
5. Chiudere bene il vano batterie.

6.2 Cura generale

• Mantenere il dispositivo pulito e asciutto. Pulire con un panno morbido e asciutto.amp panno se necessario. Non utilizzare detergenti abrasivi o solventi.
