Description

TheTestierPROf is designed to test
all common low-voltage cabling systems
found in today’s automated homes,
telephone, network or video� It has
an LCD display and eight momentary
buttons. The TestierPROf has three
modes of operation (Telco, Coax and
Network), each with a dedicated button
for easy test selection� In addition, a
Setup key is provided to allow for easy
access and selection of user-settable
options� The main unit comes with
built-in jacks and F-connector for Telco,
Network and Coax cables� It has an
integrated remote bay that houses a
detachable test remote for patch cable
testing� The test remote has built-in
jacks for Telco and Network cables�

The TestierPROf can be turned on
by pressing the Power button or any of
the three mode buttons� At power up,
the TestierPROf returns to the same
menu item or execution mode right
before it was last turned off� This allows
the user to power off and on the unit

within a long task without re-conguring

the unit every time it has been turned

off. When the TestierPROf is turned
on for the rst time after a new battery

is installed, the unit is initialized to the

3

default menu item Telco Cable Test�
Pressing the mode button repeatedly
cycles through all the menu items
available for that mode:

CableTest/Pretest – This mode
performs detailed analysis on a cable�
If a remote is sensed at the remote end
of the cable, a wire map, the remote ID
and certain faults are displayed at the
end of the cable analysis:

• There are two lines of numbers

displayed at the end of the test� The
top line of numbers on the display
represents the connector pins on
the main unit� The second line of
pin numbers is the connector pin
numbers of the remote, normally
being the same as the top line for a
normal (straight-thru) data cable�

• If there is a miswire, the numbers

on the second line indicate the pin
numbers detected�

• If no connection is detected for

some of the pins, the second line
will be blank in those pin locations�

• If a short is detected, the second

line will have a ashing ‘X’ in that
position and the specic short

condition displayed on the third line�

• If a high-resistance fault (i�e� a “soft”

short, as opposed to a hard short,
of up to 125 kohm for Network and
100 kohm for Telco) is detected, the

second line will have a ashing ‘R’

6

in that position and a message of
“High-R Fault” displayed on the third
line�

• If a split pair is detected,

corresponding pin positions on the

second line will display ashing pin

numbers detected from the remote�

The specic split conditions are

displayed on the third line�

• If there are multiple errors to display

on the third line, messages for the
highest severity errors are displayed
in sequence until all are displayed�
So if there are both shorts and
high-R Faults, only messages for
the shorts are cycled through� The
ID icon will have a number directly
below it indicating the remote ID
number�

If there is no remote, the TestierPROf
uses the length and cable test capability
to attempt to measure a cable for shorts,
opens and split pairs (Pretest�) While
the test is in progress the test icon and
the wire numbers for the pair being test

are displayed. The nal test results are

displayed as messages on the LCD�

Because a test can take up to about 5
seconds to complete, the SEL button,
which immediately starts a new test,
should be pressed whenever a new

7

cable is connected and ready for test�
Partial and erroneous results will be
displayed until a complete test cycle has
been run on a cable�

For Telco Cable Test mode, the
TestierPROf assumes that the 6-
position Telco jacks on the main unit and
the remote will be used for connecting
the tester to the cable run to be tested�

This mode uses the 3-pair USOC
standard to dene the pairs. Connector

pins 1-6, 2-5 and 3-4 are the pairs

dened by this standard. The tester

will display the “PASS” icon when all 6
pins are correctly wired in a one-to-one
order� If all 6 pins are correctly wired
in the reverse order, the “PASS” icon

along with a ashing “Rev” icon will be

displayed� Standard telephone cables
used between a phone set and a wall
jack are usually reverse-pinned�

For Network Cable Test mode, the
TestierPROf assumes that the 8-
position Network jacks on the main
unit and the remote will be used for
connecting the tester to the cable run to
be tested� The TIA/EIA 568A/B standard

is used to dene the pairs. Connector

pins 1-2, 3-6, 4-5 and 7-8 are the pairs

dened by this standard. The A and B

standards are the same except for the

8

color coding and are indistinguishable
from each other by electrical testing�
The tester will display the “PASS” icon
when all 8 pins are correctly wired in
a one-to-one order� If all 8 pins are
correctly wired with the 1-2 and 3-6
pairs crossed, a wire map displaying
the cross-over wires, a “PASS” icon and

the X-OVR message will be displayed.

Uplink cables (a�k�a� crossover or
T568A-to-T568B cables) are commonly
used to connect two computers or two
hub/switches directly together�

Map ID – The Map ID function identies

multiple Telco, Coax or Network cables
by displaying ID numbers of the map­only remotes attached to the far end of
the cables� It is a cost effective way to
identify up to 20 cable runs at a time�
The map-only remote are available in
F-connector plug (Coax), RJ45 plug
(Network) and RJ11 plug (Telephone)�
If there is voltage present in the cable,

the “Voltage!” warning message will be

displayed and a warning beep will be
sounded repeatedly until the voltage is
removed. Disconnect the TestierPROf
from the live line and remove voltage
source from the cable before further
testing� If no failures are detected, the
PASS icon and the remote Map ID
number will be displayed� If the wrong

9

type of map-only remote is used (e�g�
a Coax remote used in Telco mode), a

message with the remote type identied

will be displayed� If a full-remote instead
of a map-only remote is used, an error
message will be displayed� If no remote
is found, or if the cable is shorted, the

OPEN or SHORT icons will be displayed

respectively�

Length – Length mode measures
the length of a cable by measuring
its capacitance and using the user­adjustable capacitance per unit length
(the length constant) to calculate
the cable length. The TestierPROf
supports three user-adjustable length
constants - one for each type of
cables. The TestierPROf remembers
these constants even when the unit is
powered off as long as a good battery
is connected to the unit� In Network
mode, cross-over cables are recognized
by displaying the PASS icon and the

“X-OVER” message after the length. In

Telco mode, reverse-pinned cables are

recognized and a “REV-PIN’D” message

added after the measured length value�
The PASS icon is displayed if it is a
correctly wired reverse-pinned 6-position
cable�

10

The measured length value is displayed
on the LCD along with the current
value of the length constant� Pressing
the SEL button cycles the pair being
measured in the following sequence: For
Network mode: auto-select, 1-2, 3-6, 4­5, 7-8� For Telco mode: auto-select, 1-6,
2-5, 3-4� For Coax mode: Pin + Shield
(the only option for Coax cable)�

The pair number is displayed next to
the length except in auto-select mode�
If a selected pair has a fault, the fault
replaces the length reading on the LCD�
In auto-select mode, the TestierPROf
automatically selects a pair without
a fault� Users can adjust the length
constant using the up and down arrows�
The CAL icon is displayed when the

TestierPROf recalculates internal
coefcients. If network terminator

patterns are found in length mode, the
TestierPROf will display messages
including “T Ring Network?”, “xbase­T Network?” or “Network?” to alert
the user of the unexpected terminator
patterns� In length mode, if a full remote
is present at the other end of the cable,
the ID number for the full remote is
displayed� Do not use map-only remotes
in length mode� If the cable length

measured is longer then the specied

maximum length (roughly 2000 feet for

11

CAT 5/6 cable), the error message “>
Max Length” will be displayed�

Tone – The tone mode generates audio
tones for use with tone tracers on all
pairs, a selected pair or a selected pin�
The signal generated on a pair has the
signal on one pin and the complement
of the signal on the other pin of the pair,
yielding a nominal 10 volts peak-to-peak
across the pair� The pin(s) being driven
with tone and the currently selected
tone pattern are displayed on the screen
along with the “Tone” icon and the icon
for the connector assumed to be used�

Once in the tone generator mode, use

the up and down buttons to step to
the next connector pin(s) drive option�
When the SEL button is pressed and
held down for longer than 1 second, the
tone pattern options are automatically
cycled through until the button is
released� The tone pattern options are
Hi, Lo, Tone 1 and Tone 2� The last
two options are dual or warble tones of
differing pattern duration� Press any
mode buttons or the Power button to exit
Tone mode�

Hub Blink – Hub blink mode sends link
pulses to the network switch to blink
the port LED and identify the port the
Network cable connected to� The Hub

12

Blink mode sends link pulses to the NIC
transmit pair for 3 seconds and then
stops for 3 seconds (for an overall cycle
time of 6 seconds�) It is necessary to go
this slow for some switches and hubs
from some major manufacturers� The
TEST icon is displayed when the unit
sends link pulses and off when not�

Setup – The setup mode is used to set
user-selectable options� Use the up and
down buttons to scroll through settable
options� Use the SEL button to change
the current setting to the alternate
option� Press any mode key or the
Power key to exit Setup mode and save
the updated parameters�

• The beep-on-pass for cable test can

be turned on or off (default is on)�

• The pass criteria can be set for

shielded or unshielded cables
(default is unshielded)�

• The length and length constants can

be set for meters or feet (default is
feet)�

If the length unit (meters or

feet) is changed, TestierPROf
automatically converts the length
constants from the old unit to the
new unit on exit of setup mode�

13

Voltage Check – The TestierPROf
continuously monitors voltage level
on its RJ jack and F-connector in all
modes (including menu selection)
when it is on� When it detects voltage,

the “VOLTAGE!!” warning message

appears on the screen and the beeper
sounds until the voltage is removed� The
TestierPROf is designed to withstand
input voltage conditions that occur
during normal telephony applications
for a short period of time (approx� 10
seconds)�

Diagnostic – While the unit is off,
holding the SETUP key and pressing the

NETWORK button powers up the unit in

diagnostic mode� Step 1 of diagnostic
mode displays the revision of the

rmware being used. Step 2 activates all

elements of the LCD for a visual check
of the LCD panel� Step 3 allows user
to make 8 key presses to verify button
operation: T for Telco mode button, C
for Coax mode button, N for Network
mode button, ∧ for up button, S for
Select button, ∨ for down button, U for
Setup button and P for Power button�
Within these 8 key presses the user
can press any key in any order in any
repeating manner� The ninth key press
starts a diagnostic test on the built-in
remote� Connect the built-in remote with

14

a known-good network cable and press
the SEL key to initiate a new test cycle�

The remote diagnostic test veries that

the two redundant ID’s in the remote
unit are both functional� If either of the
two redundant ID’s is defective, no ID
number will be displayed in diagnostic
mode� During normal cable test, the
TestierPROf needs only one of the
two redundant ID’s to be functional to
recognize and display the remote ID�

Battery Low Detection – The
TestierPROf monitors battery status
continuously when it is powered on�
When the battery low icon is activated,
battery voltage has dropped to below

6.4V. The battery should be replaced as

soon as practical. Below 6.0V, the LCD

display could dim or appear turned off
even though the TestierPROf is still
operating (for example, the EL backlight
can still be toggled�) Cable testing
results becomes unreliable when battery

voltage drops below 4.5V.

EL Backlight – At power on, the EL
backlight is initialized to off to conserve
power. While the TestierPROf is on
the backlight can be toggled on and off
by momentarily pressing the power key
(for less than 2 seconds)� The backlight
turns off automatically roughly 3 minutes

15

after the last key press�

and the congured shield criteria.

17

4) Disconnect the patch cable after

test� The test repeats itself every 5
seconds�

Note: Patch cables must be at least 4
feet long for pretest to work properly.

ToTestCablefromOneEnd

1) Attach one end of the supplied one-

foot jumper to the main unit and the
other end to the wall plate or patch
panel jack�

2) Press the mode button (Telco, Coax,

or Network) for the type of cable
being tested� If not already in Cable
Test mode, press the corresponding
mode button repeatedly until Cable
Test is displayed, then press the SEL
button to execute cable test�

3) Results should appear within 5

seconds� Pressing the SEL button
starts a new test immediately�

4) Disconnect the cable after test� The

test repeats itself every 5 seconds�

Application Hint: The jumper cables
must be short compared to the cable
run for accurate open and split pair
indication, i�e� no more than 10% of the
total run length or 3 feet, whichever is
less� Patch cables must be at least 4
feet long for pretest to work properly�

18

ToTestInstalledCable(ofce jack to

patch panel with remote)

1) Remove the remote unit from the

main unit by sliding the remote
towards the top of the main unit�

2) Attach one end of the supplied one-

foot patch cable to the remote and
other end to the wall jack�

3) Attach one end of the second

supplied one-foot patch cable to the
main unit and the other end to the
patch panel jack�

4) Press the mode button (Telco, Coax,

or Network) for the type of cable
being tested� If not already in Cable
Test mode, press the corresponding
mode button repeatedly until Cable
Test is displayed and then press
the SEL button to execute cable
test. The TestierPROf indicates
a test in progress by displaying the
TEST icon� If the cable passes the
set shield criteria and the T568A/B
standard, the TestierPROf displays
within 2 seconds a wire map and
a PASS icon and sounds a beep
(if enabled)� The ID number for the
remote will also be displayed�

5) Disconnect the cable after test� The

test repeats itself every 5 seconds�

Application Hint: The jumper cables
must be short compared to the cable run

19

for accurate split pair indication, no more
than 10% of the total run length�

To Map Cable ID’s

1) Turn on the unit by pressing the

mode button for the type of cable
being tested (i�e� the Telco, Coax, or
Network button�) If not already in Map
ID mode, press the corresponding
mode button repeatedly until Map is
displayed and then press the SEL
button�

2) Connect the cable to be mapped to

the main unit� Insert a map-only
remote to the jack at the far end of
the cable�

3) A PASS icon and the ID number for

the map-only ID will be displayed�
The type of cable (Telco, Coax, or
Network) being tested is indicated at
the lower left corner of the screen�
A FAIL icon along with an error

message (OPEN or SHORT) will be

displayed if there is an open or short
in the cable�

ToPlaceToneonaCable

1) Press the mode button (Telco, Coax,

or Network) for the type of cable
being tested� If not already in Tone
test, press the corresponding mode
button repeatedly until the Tone

20

menu item is displayed on the screen

2) Repeatedly press the SEL button until

the desired tone is selected� The
up/down arrow keys select the pin or
pair(s) that carries the tone�

3) Connect the cable to be traced to

the main unit� For best tone signal,
do not attach a remote unit at the
other end of the cable� Due to the
shielding effect of a twisted pair, a
stronger signal can be obtained by
having only one wire of a twisted pair
carrying the tone� Selecting a single
pin instead of a pair will achieve this�

4) To turn tone off, press any of the

three mode buttons�

To Measure Length

1) Connect cable to main unit� (A

remote may or may not be present at
other end)�

2) Press the mode button (Telco, Coax,

or Network) for the type of cable
being tested� If not already in Length
mode, press the mode button until
the Length menu item is displayed
and then press the SEL button�
Cable length will be displayed�

• Use the up and down arrow
keys to adjust the length
constants (unit in pF/feet or pF/
m)�

21

• To change the pair measured,
press the SEL button to cycle
through the pairs available for
that mode – For Network mode:
auto-select, 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, 7-8�
For Telco mode: auto-select, 1­6, 2-5, 3-4� For Coax mode: Pin
+ Shield (the only option)�

• To change length between feet
and meters, use Setup mode�

Note: After a new battery is installed,

the default length constants are

initialized to 15 pF/foot for Network
cable, 22.5 pF/foot for Coax cable
and 17.5 pF/foot for Telco cable. For
Network cable, most Cat 5, Cat 5e & Cat

6 cables have unit capacitances close

to 15pF/foot – check with your cable
manufacturer for possible variances).

Note: If a selected pair has a fault, the
fault replaces the length reading on the

LCD. In default mode, if the 1-2 pair has
a fault, The TestierPROf automatically
sequences to a pair without a fault.

22

Unknown Length Constant

If “length constant” is unknown for a
particular cable, a known length of
the same type of cable may be used

to calibrate the constant. Attach fty

feet or more of a similar cable from the
same manufacturer to the main unit�
Repeatedly press the mode button
for the type of cable being tested until
Length is displayed� Press up/down
arrow keys until 50ft is displayed� The
length constant displayed is what should
be used to measure the length of the
unknown cable for the same model and
from the same manufacturer� Fifty feet
or more is suggested to minimize the
resolution error; 1 foot in 50 is 2% of
uncertainty�

ToPerformHubBlink

1) Attach the main unit to the network
cable which has the other end
connected to a switch, router, or hub�

2) Press the Network mode button on
the TestierPROf repeatedly until
Hub Blink is displayed on the screen
and then press the SEL button�

3) The LED corresponding to the
network cable under test should blink
at a rate of 6 seconds per cycle (3
seconds on and 3 seconds off�)

4) To exit Hub Blink mode, press the
Network mode key�

23

Interpreting cable Test Results

The PASS icon will be displayed if the
cable has all pins properly connected
per T568A/B for network cables or per

3-pair USOC for telephone cables. The

FAIL icon will be displayed if there is a
wiring error� The wire map will display
the end-to-end connections measured
whenever possible�

ThePASSiconwillalsobedisplayed

if a network cable has the 1-2 and
the 3-6 pairs transposed to indicate a
properly wired uplink (crossover) cable�
In Telephone mode, the “Reversed
Pin” message will be displayed if all
connected pins are in reverse order and
the PASS icon will also be displayed
if all 6 connections are present�
Telephone modular plug cables used
between the wall jack and a phone set
are usually reverse pinned�

DenitionofErrors – (See failure
example drawings) The four classes of
faults discussed below are in order of
severity� The severity has to do with the
ability of a more severe error to mask
lower severity errors� For example, if
there is a short in the cable; miswires
and splits pairs may not be detected for
the pairs involved in the short fault�

24

Short – The pair has a low resistance
connection from one wire of the pair
to the other wire of the pair or to any
other wire in the cable or the shield�
A short is indicated by the Short icon

being displayed and ashing X’s in the

appropriate pin positions on the second
line for the pin numbers involved in the

shorts plus a ashing S icon if the shield

is shorted to a pin�

Miswire – A wire or both wires of a pair
are not connected to the correct pins
at the other end of the cable� The wire
map shows the pin numbers from line
1 (main) to line 2 (remote)� A reverse
pair is a special case of a miswire in
which the pair is wired to the correct pair
of pins or to another designated pair of
pins, but the two leads are reversed�
TestierPROf is able to test for split
pair errors as long as the wiring errors
are in pairs� The FAIL icon and the pin
numbers, which are miswired, will be

ashing.

25

SplitPair – A split pair is an error in the
twisting of the wires together within the
cable� The cables generally are made
up of eight wires twisted together in 4
pairs� These 4 pairs are designated
as pairs by the wiring standards and
are intended to carry a signal and its
return� 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 are the
pairs designated by T568A/B for a RJ45
jack or plug� A cable can be wired with
correct continuity but not with correct
pairing� This most often happens when
the cable is terminated consistently at
both ends, but in the wrong order� A
dynamic or AC test is required to detect
this type of error� If the only error is a

split pair error, the cable has correct
continuity. If cross talk is not a concern,

as in at satin cable, the cable is good if

the only error is the split pair error. The
Split icon and the pin numbers on the

rst and second line of the wire map
with split pairs ash when there is a split

pair error�

High-Resistance Fault – If a ‘soft’ short

of up to 125 kohm (as opposed to a hard
short of 0 ohm) is detected between
two pins of the same pair, the second

line will have ashing ‘R’ in the two

positions corresponding to those two
pins� A message of “High-R Fault” will be
displayed on the third line�

If a ‘soft’ short is detected between two

pins of two different pairs, the second

line will have ashing ‘R’ in 3 or 4

positions corresponding to the two pairs�

For a shielded cable, if a ‘soft’ short

is detected between the shield and
a single pin, the second line will

have ashing ‘R’ in the shield and
the pin’s positions. If a ‘soft’ short

occurs in certain locations where the
TestierPROf could not resolve the
fault down to a single shield-and­pin combo, the second line will have

a ashing ‘R’ in more than one pin

locations� The shield location will be

ashing both ‘S’ and ‘?’ to indicate that

the shield’s status could not be resolved�

Battery Replacement

1) Turn the TestierPROf over on
the backside and place it on a at

surface�

2) Use a Phillips screw driver (No� 2) to
remove the battery door screw�

3) Pull the old battery out of the battery
compartment and detach the battery
cap�

4) Connect a new Alkaline 9 volt battery
to the battery cap�

5) Slide the new battery into the battery
compartment and close the battery
door�

6) Replace the battery door screw using
the screw driver� Do not over tighten�

When installing a new battery, disconnect
any cables connected to the

TestierPROf. The length and pretest

modes will be improperly calibrated if a cable
is present when a new battery is connected
to the TestierPROf.

Hint:

TestierPRO can retain user-dened

length constants and last mode of

operation for several minutes without
power if the unit is turned off before

replacing the battery.
