CABLE TESTING
To Test Voice/Data Patch Cable (see caution about cables with bad plugs above)
1. Plug one end of patch cable into main unit.
2. Plug other end of cable into remote unit.
3. Press VOICE or DATA as appropriate for the jack the patch cable is connected to. The VDV MultiMedia Cable
Tester will turn on and begin a testing. If tester was already on, press VOICE or DATA to initiate a new test. Results
are invalid if a cable is attached during a test in progress.
4. To turn VDV MultiMedia Cable Tester off, press VIDEO button.
To Test Video/Security Coax Cable
1. Attach one end of coax cable to be tested to F-connector on main unit.
2. Remove remote unit from main unit by squeezing the remote lightly between the thumb and forefinger through the
openings provided in the main unit and pull out of storage pocket. Remove video remote from storage pocket on
backside of remote and attach to the other end of the cable to be tested.
3. Press the VIDEO button to turn on the unit and begin testing. The results are updated about once a second.
4. To turn VDV MultiMedia Cable Tester off, press VOICE or DATA buttons.
To Place Tone on a Cable
1. Connect cable to be traced to a main unit jack. For best signal, do not connect a remote to the other end. 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. For video coax cable, the Tone is best applied to the shield
and the shield cannot be grounded.
2. Turn on VDV MultiMedia Cable Tester by pressing the button associated with the connector to be used followed
by pressing the TONE button. Short presses of the TONE button will select a different pin. Holding down the
TONE button for more than 2 seconds will select a different tone pattern.
3. To turn VDV MultiMedia Cable Tester off, press any button except TONE. The tone will turn off automatically
after about 2.4 hours.
INTERPRETING CABLE TEST RESULTS
The Pass icon will be on if the cable has all pins properly connected per T568A/B for network cables or per 3-pair
USOC for telephone cables. The Fail, Short, Open or Split icon will be on if there is a wiring error. The wire map
will display the end-to-end connections measured whenever possible.
