Triplett Low Voltage Pro - Manual (Page 12)

Included with the Length-RLQ APP, Return Loss Quality
tests for load mismatches that affect the wire’s power and data
transfer capability. It is a powerful quality test that should be used
if quality problems are suspected with the cable. The RLQ test
works with DATA cables and VIDEO cables.
ACCEPTABLE: Ratings of 1 and 2.

1. Connect cable to Main unit and green RLQ Remote.
2. Select and start Test APP (D-PAD button).
3. Hammering says it's active. EXIT returns to menu.
RESULTS (Models 2,3): Shown as a single integer 0, 1 or 2. "0"
indicates the cable measures as if it is unterminated. "2" indicates
it is perfectly terminated. Quality issues can arise in a transmis-
sion cable (Cat5/6 or coax) for a variety of reasons, including

SPEAKER / ALARM DEVICES
Use: Locate speakers by audibly “popping” them. 1) Connect
the alligator clips to the loose speaker wires using the RJ45/
Clips adapter included with all LVPro Models (shown above).
RESULT: The speaker will make and audible popping sound.
Use: Colored and labeled to help properly map and label Dolby
5.1 and 7.1 A/V speaker wires. 1) Connect Speaker ID# Map-
pers to the far end of each pair of speaker wires (speakers

SPEAKER POPPER
Use these Test APPS if you are working with speakers, Dolby
surroundsound installations, or testing the quality of alarm bat-
teries. The operation is the same for all APPS.
1. Connect the LVP RJ45 jack to the speaker wires or alarm
battery using the RJ45/alligator clips (included).
2. Select and start Test APP (D-PAD button).
3. Hammering says it's active. EXIT returns to menu. Test Active
Test Active
Use these Test APPS if you are working with switches, NIC cards, PoE,
IP cameras, VoIP phone and access points... any computerized device.
The operation is the same for all APPS.
1. Connect the LVP RJ45 jack to the device (use included
patch cable).
2. Select and start Test APP (D-PAD button).
3. Hammering says it's active. EXIT returns to menu. Test Active
Use: Locate a cable connection to a switch port by blinking the
switch’s Link LED. The green link LED on the switch will slowly
blink so you can locate the cable end.
RESULT: Port's green link LED will blink.
PORT BLINK CABLE DETECTION
Use: Detect PoE voltage and display its amplitude and location
on the cable (midspan, endspan or both).
RESULT: PoE voltage is displayed (just like a voltmeter) as are
the cable pairs used (1,2 3,6 or 4,5 7,8 or both).
POWER OVER ETHERNET / PAIRS USED
Use: Plug into any active port (computer, switch, VoIP, access
point) and display its capabilities (10,100,1000 HD, FD).
RESULT: LVPro will display the advertised speed of the port
(10,100,1000, HD, FD) and the cable pairs used to transmit.

physical damage caused by crushing or bending the cable too sharply,
improper termination, moisture intrusion, etc.
ACCEPTABLE: Ratings of 1 and 2.
Note: See Glossary for RLQ definition. If you have a Model 3 (saves
test results), the RLQ rating is not saved. RLQ results are not saved.
