The receiver requires a 9V battery (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the receiver and insert the 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.

4.2 Charging (Main Host Unit)

The main host unit has a built-in 1250mAh lithium battery. Connect the recharging line (USB cable) to the charging port on the host unit and a suitable USB power adapter (e.g., 5V, 1A). The battery icon on the display will indicate charging status.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

5.1 കേബിൾ നീളം അളക്കൽ

This function measures the length of various metal cables with at least 2 cores, including network cables (8P8C), telephone lines (4P4C), and BNC cables.

1. Connect one end of the cable to the "LENGTH" port on the main host unit.
2. Press the "LENGTH" button to initiate the measurement.
3. The display will show the cable length and indicate the cable conditions (normal, short circuit, or open circuit) for each wire pair (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8).
4. Use the up/down arrow buttons to select the cable type (8P8C, 4P4C, BNC) for accurate measurement.

5.2 കേബിൾ ട്രേസിംഗ് (വയർ ട്രാക്കിംഗ്)

The cable tracing function helps locate target cables among a bundle. The receiver's sensitivity can be adjusted using the wheel.

1. Connect the network cable to the "MAIN" socket on the emitter.
2. On the emitter, press the "SCAN" button to select the desired tracing mode:
• Analogue Tracing (Red Light): Channels 1 & 3. The receiver will emit a continuous tone. Adjust the sound size with the wheel.
• Digital Tracing (Blue Light): Channel 2. The receiver will emit a distinct digital tone.
• Vibration Mode (Blue Light Flashing, ET618 only): Channel 2. The receiver will vibrate when pressed against the cable.
3. Use the receiver to trace the cable. The closer the receiver is to the target cable, the stronger the signal (sound/vibration) will be.

5.3 POE ടെസ്റ്റ്

This function checks the Power over Ethernet (POE) status, including cable mapping, polarity, and voltage of POE network switches.

1. Connect the network cable from the POE switch to the "MAIN" port on the emitter.
2. Press the "POE" button on the emitter.
3. The display will show the POE voltage and indicate which pins are providing power. A digital flicker indicates positive polarity.

5.4 Remote ID Mapping (Optional Accessory)

If you have the optional remote ID mapping accessory, you can use it to identify specific cables in a multi-cable environment.

1. Connect the remote ID mapping tool (e.g., Remote ID 1-8) to the far end of the network cable.
2. Connect the other end of the network cable to the "MAIN" port on the emitter.
3. The emitter's display will show the ID number of the connected remote unit, allowing you to identify the cable.

5.5 Multimeter Functions (ET618 Only)

The ET618 model includes a full-featured digital multimeter. Connect the multimeter probes to the DMM Input Jacks as indicated on the device.

• എസി/ഡിസി വോളിയംtage (A~V~): വോളിയം അളക്കുകtage by selecting the appropriate mode and connecting probes to the circuit.
• AC/DC Current (A~V~): Measure current by selecting the appropriate mode and connecting probes in series with the circuit.
• പ്രതിരോധം (Ω): Measure resistance by selecting the Ω mode and connecting probes across the component.
• Continuity ( ))): ): Test for continuity. The buzzer will sound if resistance is less than 50Ω.
• Diode ( ))): ): Test diodes by selecting the diode mode.
• താപനില (°C): Use the K-type temperature probe (included with ET618) to measure temperature.

5.6 NCV Detection (Non-Contact Voltage)

• ശരിയായ പോളാരിറ്റിയോടെ ബാറ്ററികൾ ചേർത്തിട്ടുണ്ടെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
• Inaccurate cable length readings:
• Ensure the cable is properly connected to the "LENGTH" port.
• Verify the correct cable type (8P8C, 4P4C, BNC) is selected.
• Check for damage to the cable being tested.
• No signal during cable tracing:
• Ensure the emitter is in the correct tracing mode (Analogue/Digital/Vibration).
• Adjust the sensitivity wheel on the receiver.
• കേബിൾ കണക്ഷനുകൾ പരിശോധിക്കുക.
• "WARNING" message on display:
• If the warning indicates connection to PoE or energized devices, immediately disconnect the cable. The product can be damaged by such connections.

9 ഉപയോക്തൃ നുറുങ്ങുകൾ

• When tracing cables, start with lower sensitivity on the receiver and gradually increase it to pinpoint the exact cable.
• For cable length measurements, ensure the cable is completely disconnected from any active network devices to prevent interference and potential damage.
• If using the ET618's multimeter functions, always select the correct measurement range to avoid overloading the device.
• Keep the display clean for optimal readability, especially in bright conditions.
