To Test Installed Cable (Horizontal, in-wall cabling)
d
1) Attach remote(s) to far end of cabling with supplied jumper cable(s).
wn
2) Attach the main unit to patch panel with supplied jumper cable.
t
3) Press any button to power on. Wiremap results and remote ID number will be displayed,
as well as PASS if correctly wired to T568 A/B standards. Beep tone also indicates a PASS.
The test repeats every 5 seconds.

4) When the RJ-11 adapter is used, the LinkMaster
the pairing and pin numbers to the 3-pair USOC standard in CABLE TEST, LENGTH, and TONE
Generator modes. The split pair testing is disabled.
5) In the RJ-45 mode, cross-over cables are recognized by displaying the PASS icon and adding
the "X-Over" message after length. In RJ-11 mode, reverse-pinned cables are recognized and a
"REV-PIN'D, " message added after length. The PASS icon is displayed if it is a correctly pinned
s
reverse-pinned position cable.
6) For FAIL, refer to Interpreting Cable Test Results at end of instruction guide. Neither PASS or
FAIL icon will show for open or Miswire. Inspect wiremap numbers for these types of errors.
7) Disconnect cable after test.
Note: Patch cables must be, no more than 10% of the total run length for accurate split pair indication.
To Measure Length
1) Connect cable to main unit. (A remote may or may not be present at other end.)
2) Turn on main unit by pressing any button. Cable length will be displayed whenever there are no
splits or shorts to report.
–To adjust pF "length constant" parameters, use arrow keys.
–To change pair measured, press SEL to cycle through pairs 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, 7-8.
(1-2 is default pair and must be used for coax length)
o
–To change length between feet and meters, use SETUP mode.

er
Note: Default is 15 pF/foot; most Cat 5, Cat 5e & Cat 6 are very close to 15pF/foot –
check with your cable manufacturer for possible variances.)
Note: If a selected pair has a fault, the fault replaces the length reading on the LCD. In default mode,
if the 1-2 pair has a fault, the LinkMaster
Unknown Length Constant
If "length constant" is unknown for a particular cable, a known length of cable may be used to calibrate
the constant. Measure fifty feet of cable and attach main unit to one end. Turn on unit, press MODE
until LENGTH is displayed. Press up/down arrow keys until 50ft is displayed, then use the pF constant
displayed to measure length of unknown cable. (Fifty feet or more is suggested to minimize the
resolution error; 1 foot in 50 is 2% uncertainty).
To Test Coax
1) Attach cable to be tested to the F-connector on the adapter.
Insert adapter into Main jack on LinkMaster
2) Attach coax remote terminator to wallplate on the other end.
3) Turn on main unit by pressing any button. If not in Coax mode,
press MODE until COAX is displayed, than press SEL button.
4) Remote number and color will be displayed if cable passes.
If cable fails, OPEN or SHORT will be displayed.
5) Coax length may be measured by setting length constant to manufacturer's
specs and selecting pair 1-2 in LENGTH mode. (no remote required)
To Generate Tone
1) Turn on main unit by pressing any button. If not in tone mode,
press MODE until TONE is displayed, than press SEL button.
2) Press SEL until desired tone is selected. The up/down arrow keys
select the pin or pair(s) to carry the tone.
