Product description

The cable tester CT-5 is especially developed for the in place testing

of connection and network cables. For this reason the device has a

RJ 11, RJ 45, IEEE 1394 and USB jack at the front side. Additional-

ly you can test coaxial network cables by means of the BNC jack.

By means of the light display, line run through, line interruptions,

short circuit, ground connection as well as line end (Termination)

and crossed cores are shown. In the case of short connection

cables it is sometimes not necessary to disconnect the Remote Ter-

minator from the cable tester. For the testing of already Fix installed

lines or for the function test of the measuring device Via the includ-

ed testing cables you can disconnect the Remote Terminator from

the cable tester and connect it to the other end Of the testing cable.

The switching of the individual cores within the cable (scanning) is

done automatically by the push of a button and is acoustically sup-

ported by signal sounds.

Taking into operation

Make sure by means of the safety instructions and the technical

data, that the cable tester CT-5 is suitable fort he planned measur-

ing tasks.

Inserting / changing the battery

Before the first taking into operation or when LOW-BATTERY

appears in the display, you have to insert a new 9 V block battery

(preferably Alkaline). Proceed as follows:

Push the grooved area of the battery case lid on the backside of the

cable tester and push the lid open to the side. Now remove the bat-

tery clip, respectively the used battery with clip. When connecting

the new 9V block battery pay attention to the right position of the

battery poles at the clip. A wrong poling of the battery can lead to

the destruction of the device and a short circuit of the battery con-

tacts can lead to the destruction of the battery! Now insert the bat-

tery with clip into the battery case and close the lid. Please take care

that the battery connection cables are not squeezed. Under no cir-

cumstances operate the cable tester when it is open or with anoth-

er voltage supply.

Attention!

Do not leave used batteries in the measuring device,

because even leak protected batteries can corrode.

Because of that chemicals maybe set free Which are

hazardous to your health or damage the device.

Remove the batteries from the battery case if you do not

use the cable tester for a longer period of time. Don’t

ever try to recharge batteries and do not throw them

into the fire. There is the acute danger of an explosion.

Remote Terminator

Attention!

The testing of cables with the cable tester is only

permitted when the cable is free of voltage.

Before every measurement it has to be tested that

the cable which is to be measured is free of voltage

(danger to life).

To do the function control of the cable tester by

means of the Supplied test cables or to test

already fix installed cables It is necessary to dis-

connect the Remote Terminator From the cable

tester. Therefore just push the Remote Termina-

tor (Pos. 6), which is mounted at the bottom Of

the cable tester, to the right side with little pres-

sure.

Connection jacks

For the connection of the different cables You have the following

connections at hand at the cable tester And the Remote Terminator:

Measuring process

- Connect the cable tester and the Remote Terminator with the

cable which is to be tested or for example with the included RJ 45

test cable.

- after pushing the TEST-button the electricity supply of the cable

tester is switched on automatically. The green POWER-LED in the

display glows. At the same time the automatic measurement

process of all single cores is started. as a control the LEDs 1 - 8

glow one after another in quick order. Additionally the cable tester

produces a signal sound.

- after the measuring has been completed successfully the blue

CONNECTED-LED glows as sign that the measured cable is a

1:1 cable without twisted cores. At the same time a signal sound

is produced again, but in a higher frequency. If the 8 cores are all

correctly connected the LEDs 1-8 will glow permanently on the

display. For the control of the measuring result a table is dis-

played below the LED row which shows the respective light dis-

plays fort he different connection cables.

☞

The LED signed with G = Ground will only glow on the IN dis-

play if both RJ 45 plugs are made of material which is electri-

cally conducting and are connected by means of the shiel-

ding within the cable (STP-cable). That is not the case with

unshielded cables (UTP cables)

- after approx. 5 sec. All LEDs on the display will go out and the

cable tester turns off automatically.

Displays and signal sounds of the cable tester CT-5

K SHORT glows in the case of short circuit of single

cores. At the same time the LEDs of the con-

cerned cores will blink in the display 1-8 and 2

signal sounds are produced.

L CONNECTED glows at 1:1 wired cables. In the case Of a line

interruption of single cores the corresponding

LEDs will remain dark.

M POWER power display

N CROSS glows at crossed cores and the second signal

sound Is in the same frequency as the first

one.

R table with the respective LED displays for cor-

rect connection lines.

When testing USB-, IEEE 1394 (FIREWIRE) or RJ 11- Cables pro-

ceed in the same way as fort he testing of RJ 45 cables. But when

testing cables with RJ11 plug connection you should check if it is a

4 core (6P/4C) or a 6 core (6P/6C) connection line by means of a

visual inspection in the fore field of the measurement. Please use

the included end resistance instead of the Remote terminator when

testing cables with BNC-plugs.

Maintenance and care

Except of a battery change from time to time, the cable tester is is

maintenance free. You can find information on the battery change

in the respective chapters of the operation manual. On the outside,

the cable tester should only be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth or

brush. Under no circumstances use aggressive detergents or chem-

ical solvents, because the surfaces of the housings could be dam-

aged. Furthermore the fumes are explosive and hazardous to

health.
