Instruction Manual
PC Cable-Check®Pro provides a simple check and wiring configuration for DB9, DB15,
DB15 HD, DB 25, Centronics 36, Mini DIN 6 PS/2, Mini DIN 4 S-video, 4-pin & 6-pin
1394 FireWire, USB, Mini USB, RJ11 and shielded and unshielded RJ45 telephone plugs.
In addition, RG58 or 59 BNC can be checked with a simple PASS or FAIL test with full
diagnostic evaluation displayed if the cable fails.
Operating instructions:
1 Check to see that the battery is installed; switch ON. Use only
a standard 9-volt battery. (Battery compartment is located on
back of tester.)
2 Connect your cable to the corresponding connectors on the
left- and right-hand sides of the tester.
3 Press the CABLE MODE button repeatedly until the red LED indicates
the proper connector size is selected.
4 To begin testing, press the TEST button and hold it for 5 seconds to
begin automatic cycling. If you prefer to use the unit manually,
simply step through the testing process by pressing TEST for each
pin. Unit automatically powers off after 30 seconds of non-use.
5 The cable connection scheme is required to confirm the wiring
configuration. Standard wiring configurations & cable applications
can be found on the subsequent pages or consult your cable
manufacturers’ manual.
6 If you have a custom cable and need to determine the scheme,
use a “known good cable” and record the pin-out for your reference.
Warning: Do not connect tester to live cables or computer systems!
