FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
AND
INDUSTRY CANADA
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENTS
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy,
and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing
device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case
the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be
necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

WARNING
This tester is not intended to be used on live lines.
Connecting to live lines may result in damage to the tester.

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The Multi Quick Check tester verifies the continuity of
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling following EIA-
568 wiring standards (1,2; 3,6; 4,5; 7,8). It can check
one, two, or three pairs of cabling as long as the same
pairs are used (for example, Ethernet 10BASE-T, Token
Ring, TP-PMD). See Figures 1 through 7 for modular
jack pin and pair assignments. The tester will detect
crossed pairs, open pairs, and shorted pairs.
NOTE
The tester will NOT properly identify near-end crosstalk
(NEXT) or full split pairs.
CAUTION
To keep your tester working properly for years to come,
please keep this information in mind during use.
1. The tester is intended for testing passive cabling only.
Connecting this tester to lines where voltage is present may
damage the unit.
2. We recommend using short patch cords or socket savers
during testing, since this will limit the wear on the tester’s
connectors.

Operation
Patch Cord Test
Slide the power switch on the remote unit to the left.
The red LED will blink, indicating that the power is on.
Insert one end of an 8-position (RJ-45) patch cord into
the master’s RJ-45 jack. Insert the other end of the patch
cord into the remote’s RJ-45 jack. Green LEDs on the
master unit should blink in a left-to-right sequence as
shown in Figure 8. Yellow lights, unlit lights, or out-of-
sequence lights indicate improper wiring.

OPERATION
Figure 8. LED sequence on the tester. Good wiring is indicated by
green LEDs flashing in sequence from left to right. Faulty wiring is
indicated by yellow LEDs, unlit LEDs, or out-of-sequence LED
flashing.

MULTI QUICK CHECK
Premise Wiring Test
Obtain two four-pair patch cords and verify that they are
good by doing a patch cord test (see previous text).
Detach the master and the remote units from each
other. Turn the remote unit on and plug one end of the
first patch cord into the modular jack on the tester. Go
to the wiring closet or central wiring point and insert the
other end of the patch cord into the patch panel port of
the cable run to be verified. See Figure 9 on the next
page.
Take the master unit to the opposite end of the cable
run to be verified (for example, modular wallplate at an
office drop). Plug one end of the patch cord into the
master unit and the other into the wallplate. Observe
the lights on the master unit. Green lights sequencing
from left to right signify good cabling. Yellow lights,
unlit lights, or out-of-sequence lights indicate improper
wiring.

Battery Installation and
Troubleshooting
If the remote LED does not blink when the switch is
pushed to the left (ON) position, the battery needs to be
replaced. Remove the two screws on the bottom of the
remote unit. Remove the top cover from the tester,
trying to keep the slide lock, circuit board, and metal
plate intact with the case bottom. Remove the 9-volt
battery and replace it. (We recommend alkaline
batteries for best performance.) Reinstall the case top
and the screws. If the remote LED still does not blink,
the tester was probably connected to a line where
excessive voltage was present.
