Testing cables
1. Move the On switch to Cable Tester.
2. To test pins 1-3, you may adjust the Switch 1-3 selector to SW1. For cables
with more than three pins, you may adjust the selector to SW2 for pins 4-6
and SW3 for pins 7-8.
3. Insert one end of the cable into one of the various inputs.
4. Insert the other end of the cable into one of the various outputs.
5. If the Grounded Shield LED lights up, this indicates that the XLR out shield
has been connected to pin1/sleeve.
6. Once the cable has been connected to both an input and output, the LED
grid will light up to show which pins are connected.
7. Each LED shows which input pins are connected to each output pin. The
Input pins are represented vertically while the output pins are represented
horizontally.
Ex. The LED in the top right hand corner shows that Pin1/Sleeve
on the input is going to Pin1/Sleeve on the output side.
8. For cables with more than three pins, you may adjust the Switch 1-3 selec
tor to SW2 for pins 4-6 and SW3 for pins 7-8.
