1. ബാറ്ററി ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ
The tester requires one 9V battery (not included). To install the battery:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the main tester unit.
- കമ്പാർട്ട്മെന്റ് കവർ തുറക്കുക.
- Insert a 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- ബാറ്ററി കമ്പാർട്ട്മെൻ്റ് കവർ അടയ്ക്കുക.
കുറിപ്പ്: If the tester will not be used for an extended period, please remove the battery to prevent leakage and damage.
2. Split Design
The tester features a two-in-one split design, allowing the main and remote units to be separated for testing cables over longer distances or installed in different locations.
പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
1. Power On/Off and Test Modes
The tester has a power switch with three positions: OFF, ON (Quick Test Mode), and SLOW (Slow Test Mode).
- ഓഫാണ്: ഉപകരണം ഓഫാക്കുന്നു.
- ON (Quick Test Mode): Initiates a faster test sequence, suitable for quick checks.
- SLOW (Slow Test Mode): Initiates a slower test sequence, making it easier to observe the indicator lights for detailed analysis.
2. കേബിളുകൾ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുന്നു
The tester supports both RJ45 and RJ11 connectors. Connect one end of the cable to the "MAIN" unit and the other end to the "REMOTE" unit. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted into the appropriate ports.
3. Interpreting Test Results
The tester uses a series of LED indicator lights to display the wiring status of the cable. The lights on both the main and remote units will illuminate in sequence, indicating the continuity of each wire.
RJ45 Port Test:
- UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): The lights on the main tester will turn on sequentially from 1 to 8.
- STP (Shielded Twisted Pair): The lights on the main tester will turn on sequentially from 1 to G (Ground). The 'G' light indicates the presence of a shield, relevant for PoE applications.
RJ11 Port Test:
- 6P6C: The lights on the main tester will turn on sequentially from 1 to 6.
- 6P4C: The lights on the main tester will turn on sequentially from 2 to 5.
- 6P2C: The lights on the main tester will turn on sequentially from 3 to 4.
മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്
To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your AMPCOM Network Cable Tester, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- ബാറ്ററി കെയർ: Always remove the 9V battery if the tester will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several weeks or months) to prevent battery leakage, which can damage the internal components.
- വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Wipe the exterior of the tester with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the ABS casing.
- സംഭരണം: നേരിട്ടുള്ള സൂര്യപ്രകാശത്തിൽ നിന്നും തീവ്രമായ താപനിലയിൽ നിന്നും അകന്ന്, തണുത്തതും വരണ്ടതുമായ സ്ഥലത്ത് ടെസ്റ്റർ സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.
- കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യൽ: The tester features a durable ABS case, but avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts to prevent internal damage.
ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്
This section addresses common issues and their solutions when using the network cable tester.
Common Wiring Faults and Indications:
- Open Circuit / Disconnect: If a specific wire (e.g., wire NO.3) is open-circuited, the corresponding NO.3 lights on both the main and remote testers will not turn on. If multiple wires are disconnected, their respective lights will remain off. If fewer than two wires are connected, no lights will illuminate.
- Miswire / Disorder: If two ends of a cable are disordered (e.g., wire NO.2 and NO.4 are swapped), the light sequence will reflect this. For example, the main tester might show 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-G, while the remote tester shows 1-4-3-2-5-6-7-8-G.
- ഷോർട്ട് സർക്യൂട്ട്: If two wires are short-circuited, neither of their corresponding lights will illuminate on the remote tester, while the main tester's sequence remains unchanged. If three or more wires are short-circuited, none of their corresponding lights will turn on.
പതിവായി ചോദിക്കുന്ന ചോദ്യങ്ങൾ (FAQ):
- Q: Why does my tester only have the power light on, and no indicator lights flashing?
- A: This indicates insufficient battery power. Please check the battery and replace it with a new 9V battery if necessary.
- Q: Why is Indicator Light 2 off on both the main unit and the remote unit?
- A: This suggests that the corresponding core #2 is either open-circuited or disconnected.
- Q: Why are all lights off even if the power light is off?
- A: The battery is likely dead. Replace the battery with a new one.
- Q: Why are 2 lights on the main unit on, but off on the remote unit?
- A: This typically means that the corresponding core is short-circuited.

ഉപയോക്തൃ ടിപ്പുകൾ
- ബാറ്ററി പരിശോധന: Always ensure your 9V battery has sufficient power before starting a test. A weak battery can lead to inaccurate or incomplete test results (e.g., only the power light on, no indicator lights flashing).
- Slow Mode for Detail: Use the "SLOW" test mode when you need to carefully observe the sequence of indicator lights, especially when diagnosing complex wiring faults like miswires or subtle disconnections.
- Shielded Cable Awareness: Remember that for STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables, the 'G' light on the main tester should illuminate, indicating proper shield continuity. This is crucial for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.
- റിമോട്ട് ടെസ്റ്റിംഗ്: Utilize the split design to test installed cables or wall outlets efficiently. Connect the main unit to one end and the remote unit to the other.
- പരിസ്ഥിതി ഉപയോഗം: This tool is designed for testing network and telephone cables in various environments, including home installations and professional IT setups.
