High Voltage Protection
Do not connect MICROMAPPER to a live circuit as it may
damage the unit.
Strong radio frequency fields may cause inaccurate
readings.
Do not open the unit or attempt to repair in case of
malfunction. Please send it back to your distributor for
repair or replacement.
MICROMAPPER'S Toner Operation
1. Slide the switch on the right side of
MICROMAPPER to the Toner position.
2. Connect the cable to the MICROMAPPER's RJ45 jack.
(To send a tone into a patch panel, connect one end
of the included patch cord to the MICROMAPPER's
RJ45 jack and the other end to a jack on the panel.)
3. To generate tone 1, press and quickly release the
(TEST) button.
4. To generate tone 2, press and hold the (TEST)
button for two seconds.

PER Remote's RJ45 jack.
4. Press (TEST) to view the results.
5. The horizontal LEDs indicate the cable's integrity
status.
Green: Pair or Shield is good
Green flashing: Pair or Shield is faulty
No light: Pair is open or cable is not shielded
6. The vertical LEDs indicate the wiring faults and a low
battery status. Wiring faults are: SHORT, RE-
VERSED, MISWIRE, SPLIT PAIRS.
7. To find out a fault on a specific pair, use
MICROMAPPER's diagnostic feature.
8. Press and hold (TEST) for more than 2 seconds.
MICROMAPPER will scan each pair and the shield
pausing and flashing each green LED separately. If a
faulty pair is detected, the corresponding fault status
will blink in red.

per until it snaps into position. This configuration
