The Hioki 3665-20 LAN CABLE HiTESTER is a hand-held cable
tester that provides easy operations to test wiremap, measure
cable length and identify twisted-pair cables. It is useful for verifying connections after installing connectors on cables. Optional
terminators are available to facilitate easy identification of multiple cables. The HiTester is especially convenient for testing
cables in working networks in the event of faults caused by
open- or short-circuited cable wiring.

Testing cable connections after installing connectors
Checking wiremaps (p.19).
Troubleshoot cables in working networks
When an open- or short-circuit fault is present in a cable, the
HiTester displays the distance along the cable from it to the fault.
So when a problem occurs in a working network, the HiTester
determines whether the problem is caused by an open- or shortcircuit in the cable, and its location (p.29).
Identifying cables installed together
When multiple cables are installed together, distinguishing which
cable is connected to what device can be difficult. However, the
HiTester can easily identify multiple cables by using optional terminators. Up to 21 cables can be identified using multiple terminators (p.30).

2.1 Installing the Batteries
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Also, be careful to
observe battery polarity during installation.
Otherwise, poor performance or damage
from battery leakage could result.
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not
short circuit, disassemble or incinerate batteries.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
• The indicator flashes when battery voltage
becomes low. Replace the new batteries soon.
• Do not attempt to use any power source other
than the specified AA-size (LR6) alkaline batteries. Operating time with non-alkaline (manganese) batteries is shorter.

2.1 Installing the Batteries
1.
Remove the test cable, if connected.
2.
Turn the HiTester off.
3.
Remove the battery compartment cover from the rear of
the HiTester.
4.
Install the new batteries, with attention to proper polarity.
5.
Replace the battery compartment cover.
To avoid damaging
the battery compartment cover, do
not attempt to open
it by inserting a
screwdriver into the
latch hole.
