TEMPO Communications 468 Wiremap Tester Instruction Manual
Model: 468
Brand: TEMPO Communications
Introducere
The TEMPO Communications 468 Wiremap Tester is designed to quickly and accurately verify the wiring integrity of LAN, telephone patch cords, and structured cabling. It identifies common wiring faults such as opens, shorts, reversals, and transposed pairs. The tester consists of a transmitter and a receiver unit, providing clear, simple-to-understand results through sequencing LEDs.
Informații de siguranță
- Do not connect the tester to live AC power circuits.
- The unit is protected against active circuits up to 52 VDC / 90V p-p for up to 10 minutes (Transmitter) and 52 VDC momentary (Receiver).
- Use only the specified battery type (9V).
- Scoateți bateria dacă unitatea nu va fi utilizată pentru o perioadă lungă de timp.

Transmițător 468T
The transmitter unit initiates the test sequence and tone generation. It features an 8-position modular jack for connecting cables and LED indicators for T568A, USOC, and T568B wiring configurations. An ON/OFF switch controls power.

Receptor 468R
The receiver unit completes the test circuit and displays the results. It also has an 8-position modular jack and LED indicators (1, 2, 3, 4) that show normal (green) or reversed (red) wiring.

Instalarea bateriei
The 468 Wiremap Tester requires one 9V battery (not included) for operation in each unit.
- Localizați compartimentul bateriilor pe spatele unităților emițător și receptor.
- Deschideți capacul compartimentului bateriei.
- Connect a 9V battery to the battery clip, observing polarity.
- Introduceți bateria în compartiment și închideți bine capacul.
Note: Remove batteries if the unit is not in use for extended periods to prevent leakage.
Instrucțiuni de operare
Wiremap Testing
The 468 Wiremap Tester can test T568A, T568B (AT&T 258A/10 Base T), and USOC wiring configurations.
- Ensure a 9V battery is installed in both the Transmitter and Receiver units.
- Connect one end of the cable to be tested into the 8-position modular jack on the 468T Transmitter.
- Connect the other end of the cable into the 8-position modular jack on the 468R Receiver.
- Turn the 468T Transmitter ON using the ON/OFF switch. The test process activates automatically upon connection of the receiver.
- Observe the sequencing red and green LEDs on both units.
- Interpret the results based on the LED patterns:
- Cablare normală: All LEDs on both units will light up sequentially in green, indicating correct pin-to-pin continuity.
- Circuit deschis: If an LED fails to light up, it indicates an open circuit on that specific wire pair.
- Scurt circuit: If multiple LEDs light up simultaneously or in an incorrect sequence, it indicates a short circuit between those wire pairs.
- Reversed Pairs: LEDs on the receiver will light up red for reversed pairs.
- Transposed Pairs: Incorrect sequencing of green LEDs on the receiver indicates transposed pairs.
- After testing, turn the 468T Transmitter OFF.
Tone Generation for Cable Identification
The 468 Wiremap Tester can generate a tone to help identify cables at remote locations.
- Connect any 8-position modular plug of the cable to be identified into the appropriate jack on the 468T Transmitter.
- Turn the 468T Transmitter ON. A sweeping tone signal (850 and 950 Hz alternating nominal) will be applied to all pairs.
- At the far end of the cable, use a compatible inductive amplifier (probe, not included) to locate the corresponding cable by detecting the tone.
- After identification, turn the 468T Transmitter OFF.
Depanare
| Problemă | Cauza posibila | Soluţie |
|---|---|---|
| Niciun LED nu se aprinde | Baterie descărcată sau instalată incorect | Replace 9V battery; ensure correct polarity. |
| Niciun LED nu se aprinde | Transmitter not turned ON | Ensure the ON/OFF switch on the transmitter is in the ON position. |
| Inconsistent LED patterns | Conexiune de cablu slabă | Re-seat the modular plugs firmly into the jacks on both units. |
| Tester alerts to active circuit | Cable connected to an active network device | Disconnect the cable from the active circuit before testing. The unit is protected but prolonged exposure is not recommended. |
| Tone not detected | Inductiv amplifier not working or incorrect frequency | Check the inductive amplifier's battery and settings. Ensure it is compatible with 850/950 Hz tones. |
Întreţinere
