4.1. Main Unit (Master) and Remote Unit

The Master unit and Remote unit can be connected together for storage or separated for testing longer cables. Each unit has clearly labeled HDMI ports and LED indicators.

Imatge 1: The LINK LKMS06 HDMI Cable Tester showing the Master and Remote units connected. The top surface of each unit displays LED indicators for the 19 pins and shield, along with power and test mode switches. This configuration is suitable for storage or testing shorter cables.

Imatge 2: The LINK LKMS06 HDMI Cable Tester with the Master and Remote units separated. This view highlights the HDMI Type A and Type C ports on each unit, which are used for connecting the HDMI cable under test. The separation allows for testing of longer cables where the remote end is distant from the master unit.

4.2. Zippered Carrying Case

The device comes with a protective zippered carrying case for portability and storage.

5. Configuració

5.1. Instal·lació de la bateria

The LINK LKMS06 requires one 9V battery (not included) for operation.

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the Master unit.
2. Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.
3. Insert a new 9V battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+/-).
4. Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.

Note: The Remote unit does not require a battery as it is powered by the Master unit through the cable under test.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

6.1. Connexió del cable

1. Separate the Master unit and the Remote unit if they are connected.
2. Connect one end of the HDMI cable (Type A or Type C) to the corresponding port on the Master unit.
3. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the corresponding port on the Remote unit.

6.2. Selecting Test Mode

The LINK LKMS06 offers three testing modes: Auto Fast, Auto Slow, and Manual. Use the switch on the Master unit to select your desired mode.

• Ràpid automàtic: The tester cycles through each pin connection quickly. This mode is suitable for quick checks of cable continuity.
• Auto Slow: The tester cycles through each pin connection at a slower pace, allowing for more detailed observation of the LED indicators.
• manual: In this mode, you can manually step through each pin connection one by one. This is useful for pinpointing specific issues on individual pins.

6.3. Interpreting LED Indicators

Both the Master and Remote units feature 19 LEDs corresponding to the 19 pins of an HDMI cable, plus an additional LED for the shield connection. When a pin is correctly connected, its corresponding LED on both the Master and Remote units will illuminate simultaneously.

• LED On (both units): Indicates a good connection for that specific pin.
• LED On (one unit only): Indicates an open circuit (break) in the cable for that specific pin.
• Multiple LEDs On (one unit, or unexpected pattern): May indicate a short circuit or miswiring.
• No LED On: Indicates an open circuit for that specific pin.

The tester verifies continuity and correct configuration for all 19 poles and the ground connection. This allows you to determine how many conductors are connected, which is crucial for assessing the cable's standard compliance and quality.

6.4. Testing Cable Lengths

The LINK LKMS06 can test HDMI cables up to 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) in length.

7. Manteniment

7.1. Neteja

To clean the device, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the casing o components interns.

7.2. Emmagatzematge

When not in use, store the LINK LKMS06 in its zippered carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove the 9V battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent battery leakage.
