Triplett WireMaster XR5 – PN: 3260 - Manual (Page 8)

6.5 Performing the Test:
Once the Remote and Main unit are attached to the ends
of the subject cable, as described in 6.3 and 6.4, testing
may begin. Simply press and release the Test Button on
the Main unit, observe the LED indicators, and note the
beeping sound that comes from the Main unit.
6.6 Interpreting the Results:
6.6.1 Power LED:
The Power LED should light whenever the Test Button is
pressed and released. It will stay on for a minimum of 5
seconds, or for however long the Test Button is pressed.
If the Power LED does not light, replace the battery.
6.6.2 Low Battery LED:
The Low Battery LED should not light. If it does, replace
the battery.
6.6.3 No Connection LED / Single Beep
If the Remote is not connected to the Main unit with a
cable, or the cable has no intact conductors, the No
Connection LED with light and the Beeper will sound
once.
6.6.4 Connected LED / Lo-Hi Beep / Numbered LEDs
If the Connected LED lights and the Beeper emits a Lo-
Hi beep, examine the Numbered LEDs (i.e. LEDs
numbered 1 to 8, and the S/G LED).
The Numbered LEDs corresponding to the type of cable
being tested must light. Examine the table below the
Numbered LEDs, noting what LEDs should light. If all of
these LEDs do not light, the cable has an OPEN fault.
If all of the appropriate Numbered LEDs light, the
cable is OK.
Notes:
When testing an RJ-45 UTP cable, the S/G LED must not light.
When testing an RJ-45 STP cable, the S/G LED must light.
The XR-5 is intended to test complete cables. It may not find
faults in cables that are intentionally incomplete. For example,
the standard EIA / TIA 568 RJ-45 terminated Ethernet cable is
expected to contain 8 conductors. If only 4 conductors are used
between the RJ-45 connectors, the XR-5 may not properly
identify the faults.
RJ-11 cables may have 2 connections, 4 connections, or as
many as 6 connections. For 2 connection cables, LEDs 3 and 4
must light. For 4 connection cables, LEDs 2, 3, 4, and 5 must
light. For 6 connection cables, LEDs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 must
light.
