2.0 STEP BY STEP USE INSTRUCTIONS
To turn the LanScaper™ off after any test, press and hold PWR button
until the display turns off. The tester will turn off automatically after about
15 minutes in all modes except Tone Generator, which is 60 minutes, and
Flash Link LED, which is 30 minutes. When connecting to unknown jacks
or cables, it is best to begin with the power off and turn the LanScaper™
on after the connection is made. This insures that the voltage check will
be run rst before any other testing.
2.1 To ID an Unknown Jack or Plug
With LanScaper™ powered off, connect to unknown jack or plug.
Press CABLE button, LanScaper™ will power on in Jack ID mode
and determine what device is connected to the other end of the cable
or test the cable if no connection is found.
2.2 To Test Cables Only
Skips the ID portion of the Jack ID test above.
Connect one end of cable run to be tested to LanScaper™. Press
CABLE button repeatedly until Cable Test is displayed (twice if unit
was off). Press SEL button to enter test.
If the cable is connected while the tester is on, a single-ended test
for shorts, opens and split pairs will most likely be in progress. Press
SEL button to force a new test to begin.
For a complete test, connect a remote to the other end of the cable.
Application Hints: Any patch cables used to connect the tester and
remote to a cable run must be short compared to the cable run for
accurate open and split pair indication, no more than 10% of the total run
length or 3 feet, whichever is less. A cable must be at least 4 feet long
for single-ended test to work properly.
2.3 To Place Tone on a Cable
Connect cable to be traced to main unit. Turn on tester by pressing
CABLE button. Press CABLE button until Tone Generator is
displayed, than press SEL button.
Press SEL until desired tone is selected. The up/down arrow keys
select the pin or pair(s) to carry the tone.
For strongest signal, do not connect remote. Due to the shielding
effect of twisted pairs, the strongest signal is obtained by having one
wire of a pair carry tone. Selecting a single pin instead of a pair will
do this.
