Coax – The coax mode is used in conjunction with special numbered and color-coded F-connector
terminators (coax remotes). These eight remotes each have unique signatures that the LinkMaster™
Pro can identify. The LinkMaster™r Pro displays the remote number and color code if cable passes. If
cable fails, "Open" or "Short" will be displayed and coax mode.
Setup – The setup mode is provided to set user selectable options. The up and down arrow buttons
scroll through the options. The SEL button changes the current setting to the choice for that option.
To exit Setup, press Mode key.
• The beep-on-pass can be turned on or off (default is on).
• The pass criteria can be set for shielded or unshielded cables (default is unshielded).
• The length can be set for meters or feet (default is feet).
- If the length units are changed, the LinkMaster™ Pro converts the currently set length constant
to the new units on exit of setup.
- The length constant can be set to any value (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.)
Voltage Protection
The LinkMaster™ Pro is designed to withstand input voltage conditions that occur during normal
telephony applications for a very short period of time (approximately 10 seconds). The LinkMaster™
Pro monitors for voltage presence in PRETEST, LENGTH or COAX modes. The "VOLTAGE!!" message
appears on the screen and the tone sounds continuously. Remove tester from line immediately or
tester could be damaged.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
To Test a Patch Cable
1) Plug one end of patch cable into Main jack on the tester.
2) Plug other end of cable into a remote unit or Remote jack on the tester.
3) The LinkMaster™ Pro will power on immediately and indicate a test in progress by displaying the
TEST icon. Wiremap results 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) 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.
5) Disconnect patch cable after test.
Note: Be sure Set-up mode is properly set for Unshielded versus Shielded cables (Unshielded is
default. If the internal Remote jack is used on the tester, the Remote ID will always show as 1.
To Test Cable from One Terminated End Only - Remote unit is not needed to run PRETEST.
1) Attach one end of supplied jumper cable to main jack on tester and the other end to the wall plate
or patch panel jack to be tested.

played, than press SEL button.
3) The tester will then test for shorts, opens, and split pairs. The results are displayed as messages
on the LCD.
