Figure 5.1: Measuring Cable Length
The main tester unit is shown connected to a LAN cable, displaying the length measurement for each wire pair on its LCD screen. This function helps identify the exact length of the cable and the distance to any faults.

Figure 5.2: Cable Continuity Testing
This image depicts the main tester unit connected to a cable, with several remote identifier units laid out. The LCD shows 'WIRE MAP: PASS' and the pinout sequence, indicating successful continuity testing across multiple cable segments or connections.

5.1 Measuring Cable Length

1. Connect one end of the network cable to the 'Main port' on the tester.
2. If measuring an installed cable, connect the other end to a remote identifier unit. For uninstalled cables, the remote unit may not be necessary for basic length measurement.
3. Select the 'Measure Length' function from the menu using the function buttons.
4. The LCD will display the length of each wire pair and the total cable length. It will also indicate the distance to any open or short circuits.

5.2 Cable Continuity and Wiring Error Testing

1. Connect one end of the network cable to the 'Main port' on the tester.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the remote identifier units (e.g., Remote 1).
3. Select the 'Wire Map' or 'Continuity Test' function from the menu.
4. The LCD will display the wiring sequence (e.g., 1-1, 2-2, etc.).
5. 'PASS' indicates correct wiring.
6. 'OPEN' indicates a broken wire.
7. 'SHORT' indicates two or more wires are touching.
8. 'CROSS' or 'REVERSE' indicates incorrect pin assignments.
9. To test multiple cables, connect each cable to a different remote identifier (up to 8) and cycle through the remote units using the tester's functions.
