5. Подешавање

5.1 Инсталација батерије

The LAN-1 tester is powered by one 9V battery, which is typically pre-installed. If replacement is needed:

1. Уверите се да је уређај искључен.
2. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit.
3. Remove the screw(s) securing the cover and carefully open it.
4. Remove the old 9V battery and disconnect it from the terminals.
5. Connect a new 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
6. Ставите батерију у одељак и вратите поклопац, причврстивши га завртњем (завртњима).

The battery provides power for up to 20 hours of testing.

5.2 Connecting Cables for Testing

Before testing, ensure the cable is disconnected from any active network equipment.

• For patch cables (short cables not installed in walls): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 or BNC port on the main unit and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote terminator.
• For installed cables (e.g., wall plates, patch panels): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 or BNC port on the main unit. Connect the remote terminator to the other end of the installed cable (e.g., at the wall plate in another room).

6. Упутство за употребу

6.1 Укључивање/искључивање

Притисните жуто ПОВЕР button to turn the device on. Press it again to turn the device off.

6.2 Извођење теста

Once the cable is connected, you can perform a test:

1. Притисните тастер ТЕСТ button to initiate a cable test.
2. Automatic Scan (AUTO mode): Притисните тастер АУТО button. The tester will automatically scan through each pin (1-8 and G) and display the results sequentially. This is suitable for quick checks.
3. Manual Scan (MAN mode): Притисните тастер МАН button. Each press of the МАН button will advance the test to the next pin, allowing for a detailed examination of each connection.
4. Функција задржавања: Притисните тастер ХОЛД button to pause the current display of the pin-out indicator. Press it again to resume scanning.

6.3 Interpreting LED Indicators

The 18 red and green LEDs on the PIN-OUT INDICATOR provide visual feedback on the cable's status:

• Зелена ЛЕД: Indicates a correct connection for the corresponding pin.
• Црвена ЛЕД: Indicates an error for the corresponding pin (e.g., open circuit, short circuit, miswiring).
• Нема ЛЕД диоде: May indicate an open circuit or a broken wire for that pin.
• Зујалица: An audible buzzer will sound when an error condition is detected, providing an additional alert.

The LEDs on the remote module will mirror the main unit's display for the corresponding pins, allowing for verification of end-to-end continuity.

6.4 Провера статуса батерије

Притисните тастер БАТТ button to check the battery level. The BATT LED will illuminate if the battery has sufficient power. If the BATT LED does not light up or is dim, replace the 9V battery.
