PoE Tester
USER MANUAL
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Triplett POE200 POE TESTER PRO. Please
read the manual carefully before using the product. This tester helps to speed
up the installation and troubleshooting of PoE systems devices. The Main
Functions of this tester are:
Detecting PSE-type/class, power source, polarity and voltage
Determining-standard PoE or NON-standard passive PoE
Inline Power Level Monitoring
The standard compliance this tester works for are:
IEEE 802.3 af,(PoE)
IEEE 802.3 at (PoE+)
IEEE 802.3 bt (PoE ++)

(2) LED indicators for Power Type Reverse (REV) Polarity
(4) LED indicators for IEEE 802.3 af or IEE802.3 at/bt Standard
LCD Display for Voltage , Current and Power
STEP Button for selecting specific data to be displayed (Default is Voltage)
Description

Operation
Either IEEE 802.3 af
or 802.3 at
compliant standard
and either
Endspan, Midspan
or Ultra-4 pair
Power Source
IEEE 802.3 af - Power
Source End (A)
Note: This tester does not need a battery to operate as it uses system
power when connected to a device.
● Connect to RJ45 PSE Test Jack for PSE type tests (PoE switches, PoE
midspan switches, PoE (Active / Passive) injectors.
● Connect to RJ45 PD Test Jack for PD tests (IP camera, IP phone and
Wireless AP and Other Network Appliances.
● Connect Inline for Inline Power Level Monitoring (Voltage (V), Current
(mA/A), Power (W)
Pressing the STEP Button allows the selection of specific test data for reading.

Test Modes
There are (3) Modes of operation for this tester selectable by the switch at the
rear of the tester. The function modes are as follows:
T mode: for detecting PSE status
N mode: for determining NON-standard PoE + inline testing
I mode: for testing and monitoring real time power status
Operation Notes
When performing Inline Testing in T-Mode connect to the PSE side of
the tester first .until voltage is displayed, then connect PD side.
The length of the cable and the quality of the cable or the pin location
in the RJ45 connector can affect the real power available. To ensure
the power at the other end of the wall outlet is what is required for PD
test the wattage level at the wall outlet/jack where the PD plugs in.
The STEP button allows you to select specific test data for easier
reading .Pressing this button once will change auto-rotate to step
mode, and voltage display will be the default measurement. Press the
button again to select current or power display.
To revert back to auto-rotate, disconnect the PSE side cable (If in
Inline Testing disconnect PD side cable first, then disconnect the PSE

side of the cable), Reconnecting the PSE to the tester will start autorotate display.
To perform a reset, first unplug the cable from PD side, next unplug
the PSE side cable. Reconnect the PSE side until voltage values are
displayed then connect to the PD to be tested.
The tester cannot measure and test PD alone, it has to be connected
to a PSE first, Once this is done then connect to the PD, after
negotiation process, the tester will start power
Level testing.
Cautions:
**CAUTION**: Before connecting PD to the tester make sure that
the PD to be connected is either a standard PoE powered device
or a non-PoE powered device to avoid damaging a non-PoE
device is damaged by a non-standard passive PoE power.**
**CAUTION**: Most PoE injectors on the market are passive
injectors which means power is always on, in order to prevent
damage to the meter make sure to be aware of what type of PSE
either standard active or passive PoE you are connecting to.
