1. Introduction

By purchasing the installation tester IE-CT you have decided to opt for an easy and professional piece of test equipment that is easy to use. This tester is designed for quick and reliable recognition of installation faults in data and telecommunication wiring. IE-CT includes two devices – IE-CT Mainframe and IE-CT Test Box. The number of conductors of the cable installation and the pin assignment can be set individually. Please read this user manual carefully before using the installation tester IE-CT for the first time. The housing of the IE-CT Mainframe shows the most important information for fault analysis.
