Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the LANtest Pro

network cable tester series! The LANtest Pro is a small

hand-held cable tester, which enables network professionals

to quickly and easily verify the integrity of Ethernet twisted

pair cables. In one step, the LANtest Pro will test twisted

pair cables for open pairs, shorted pairs, reversed pairs,

crossed pairs and split pairs. Just push the TEST button, and

the LANtest Pro will automatically scan for any existing

faults in your cable. The specially designed remote

terminator is provided for one-person testing of installed

cables. The tone generator function can be used to send a

signal through your installed cables which can be traced with

the Probe or any cable tracer in the market.

LANtest Pro Cable Test Operation:

1.Select "Cable" position on the toggle switch.

2.Plug one end of the subject cable into the RJ45 jack on

the master unit and the other end into the RJ45 jack on

the remote terminator.

Note: The remote terminator can be slipped and locked into the

master unit for convenient testing of patch cables.

3.Push the test button and check the results: First, check

the 5 horizontally aligned green LED indicators (1-2, 3-

6, 4-5, 7-8, SHIELD) for integrity status:

Solid light : pair is OK

Flashing light : pair is faulty

No light : open pair

a. Simultaneously, check the 5 vertically aligned LED

indicators (SHORT, REVERSED, MISWIRE, SPLIT

PAIRS) for the wiring faults.

b. For more detailed information about what faults are

occurring in which pairs, hold the TEST button for 2

seconds to activate "Debug mode." The tester will test

each pair one by one, pausing briefly on each pair, and

display the corresponding fault status.

LANtest Pro Tone Generator Operation (only

available on models 256652/LBT, 256652/TK,

256652/TFK and 256652/IDT):

1. Slide the toggle switch on the LANtest Pro to the "Tone"

position

2. Quickly press the TEST button once for continuous tone

mode, or hold down for two full seconds for warble tone

2 3

mode. To change modes, switch tester off and restart.

3. Using switch on side of Probe, select "speaker mode,"

"LED mode" or "speaker & LED mode."

4. Use the Probe or any cable tracer to trace the subject

wire. Reception of tone will be loudest (amplifier) or

brightest (LED) on the subject wire.

LANtest Pro Remote ID Operation (available on

model 256656/IDT)

1. Select "Cable" position on the toggle switch.

2. Plug one end of the subject cable into the RJ45 jack on

the master unit and the other end into the RJ45 jack on

the remote terminator.

3. Press the TEST button. One of the ID LED's will flash

three times. This indicates the number of the remote

identification unit attached to the far end of the subject

cable. The tester will then automatically continue with

the same cable test procedure as the standard LANtest

Pro.

Probe Features:

Special inductive plastic tip which prevents accidental

shorts (possible with copper-tip tracers) when using

near high voltage devices

Traces and identifies wires or cable in a bundle or group

without damaging cable insulation

Adjustable volume level for various work environments

Both amplifier and LED for loud or dark work

environments

Can work with any existing tone generator in the market

Probe Specifications:

Pen-style casing

Special inductive plastic tip

One push-button TRACE switch

One battery low LED indicator

One amplifier and one LED for signal detection

One rotary volume level switch

Probe Operation:

1. With the toggle switch on the side of the Probe unit,

select the mode of operation:

a. S & L: Speaker amplifier and LED tracing mode

b. Sp. : Speaker only tracing mode

c. L : LED only tracing mode

2. Press and hold the TRACE button while approaching

the subject cable. The intensity of the tone signal will

increase as the Probe approaches the cable.

Battery Replacement

When the LOW BATTERY light illuminates, the battery does

not have sufficient power to support an accurate test. At this

time, you must replace it with a new battery.

Battery

Warning

1. Do not connect LANtest Pro to a live circuit as it may

damage the tester and interfere with a live network.

2. Testing in a high frequency activated area may cause the

tester to give inaccurate readings.

3. Do not drop or get the tester wet as it may cause internal

damage.

4. Do not place the tester in areas of high humidity or direct

sunlight.

5. Do not open the tester or attempt to repair in case of

malfunction. Please send it back to your distributor for

repair or replacement.
