6. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

6.1 Network Cable Length Measurement

This function measures the length of network cables and identifies circuit conditions.

• Connect one end of the network cable to the 'LENGTH' port on the host unit.
• The display will show the cable length and indicate if the circuit is normal, short-circuited, or open-circuited.
• Press the 'Length' button to switch between measuring pairs of cables (e.g., 1&2, 3&6, 4&5, 7&8).
• Press the 'Mode' button to select the cable type (8P8C, 4P4C, phone lines, BNC cables).

6.2 കേബിൾ ട്രേസിംഗ് (വയർ ട്രാക്കിംഗ്)

This function helps locate specific cables within a bundle.

• Insert the network cable into the 'MAIN' socket on the host unit.
• Press 'SCAN' to select channel 2 to enter the digital cable searching state.
• Use the receiver to trace the cable. The receiver has a 'MODE' button to select between Blue Digital (flashing light, vibration) and Red Analog (red light, sound).
• Adjust the sound/sensitivity wheel on the receiver for optimal tracing.

6.3 POE ടെസ്റ്റ്

The POE test function checks the voltage and polarity of Power over Ethernet connections.

• Connect the network cable from the POE switch to the 'MAIN' port on the host unit.
• Select the 'POE' function. The display will show the POE voltage and indicate the pins providing power. A digital flicker indicates positive polarity.

6.4 Cable Mapping

Cable mapping checks the wiring sequence of network cables.

• Connect the network cable to the 'MAIN' port on the host unit and the other end to the receiver.
• The display will show the wiring sequence (1-8) and identify any miswires, open circuits, or short circuits.
• The speed of the mapping test is adjustable.

6.5 Switch Port Flicker

This feature helps identify the physical port on a network switch connected to a specific cable.

• Connect the network cable to the 'MAIN' port on the host unit and the other end to a port on the network switch.
• Activate the alignment function on the tester. The sequence light corresponding to the switch port will blink once every 2 seconds, allowing you to directly find the net wire.

6.6 Multimeter Functions (ET618/ET618Pro only)

The ET618 and ET618Pro models include a full-featured multimeter.

• DC/AC വോളിയംtage: Connect the multimeter probes to the DMM input jacks. Select the appropriate voltage mode (DCV or ACV) and touch the probes to the circuit points to measure voltage.
• DC/AC കറൻ്റ്: Connect the multimeter probes to the DMM input jacks. Select the appropriate current mode (DCA or ACA) and connect the probes in series with the circuit to measure current.
• പ്രതിരോധം: Connect the multimeter probes to the DMM input jacks. Select the resistance mode (Ω) and touch the probes to the component to measure resistance.
• തുടർച്ച: Connect the multimeter probes to the DMM input jacks. Select the continuity mode. The device will beep if there is a continuous circuit (resistance < 50Ω).
• ഡയോഡ്: Connect the multimeter probes to the DMM input jacks. Select the diode mode. The display will show the forward voltagഡയോഡിന്റെ ഇ ഡ്രോപ്പ്.
• താപനില: Connect the temperature probe to the DMM input jacks. Select the temperature mode (°C or °F) and place the probe on the object to measure its temperature.
• എൻ‌സി‌വി കണ്ടെത്തൽ: Select NCV mode. Hold the device near an AC voltage source without direct contact to detect its presence.

6.7 Remote ID Mapping (Optional Accessory)

If you have the optional Remote ID Mapping accessories (3PCS or 7PCS), you can use them for multi-point cable identification.

• Connect the network cable to the 'MAIN' port on the host unit.
• Connect the other end of the network cable to one of the Remote ID Mapping tools.
• The host unit's display will show the ID number of the connected remote unit, allowing for quick identification of multiple cable runs.

8. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

• ഉപകരണം ഓണാക്കുന്നില്ല: Check battery levels for both host and receiver. Ensure the host unit is charged and the 9V battery in the receiver is correctly installed and not depleted.
• കൃത്യമല്ലാത്ത നീളം അളക്കൽ: Ensure the cable is properly connected and the correct cable type is selected. Check for any damage to the cable or connectors.
• Tracing signal is weak or noisy: Adjust the sensitivity wheel on the receiver. Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interference sources nearby.
• Multimeter readings are incorrect (ET618/ET618Pro): Verify that the correct function and range are selected. Check the test leads for damage or poor connection.
• ഡിസ്പ്ലേ മങ്ങിയതോ മിന്നുന്നതോ ആണ്: The battery may be low. Recharge the host unit or replace the 9V battery in the receiver.

10 ഉപയോക്തൃ നുറുങ്ങുകൾ

• For accurate cable length measurements, ensure the cable is disconnected from all network devices.
• When tracing cables, start with lower sensitivity and gradually increase it to pinpoint the exact cable.
• The vibration mode on ET618/ET618Pro can be very useful in noisy environments where audio signals are hard to hear.
• Always double-check your multimeter settings (AC/DC, Voltage/Current/Resistance) before making measurements to prevent damage to the device or circuit.
• Keep the remote ID mapping accessories organized and labeled if you frequently work with multiple cable runs.
