The Keypad
When turned on, MICROSCANNER will flash the
LCD power-up test and then resume the test
mode that was last executed. MICROSCANNER
will turn off automatically when no cable is
detected and no key has been used for 10
minutes.
Press ▲ ▼ to quickly change pairs or adjust
values. The ▲ ▼ keys are only active if the
indicators are shown on the display
Operating Mode
Press MODE to select the desired test. The
available modes are: WIREMAP - OFFICE
IDENTIFIER - LENGTH - TONER
Calibration Mode
+
Turn the MICROSCANNER OFF, then hold the
MODE key down while pressing the ON key to
start 'Calibrate' mode. Use MICROSCANNER to
calibrate cable lengths of more than 50 feet (15
meters) and up to 1500 feet (457 meters.)

Setting the NVP percentage
Once in Calibrate Mode, the default NVP
(Nominal Velocity of Propagation) will be
displayed followed by the overall cable length. The
cable length is measured with the currently stored
NVP.
NVP is the measure of how fast a signal travels
down a cable compared to the speed of light. The
result will be represented as a percentage of the
speed of light. For an accurate length test, the
NVP must be set correctly.
If you know a cable's NVP, change the displayed
numbers using the ▲▼ keys until the appropriate
NVP is displayed. The cable length will automati-
cally adjust to the new NVP.
If you know a cable's length, change the shown
NVP using the ▲▼ keys until the appropriate
length is displayed. The NVP can be adjusted in
1% increments, and the length changes accord-
ingly.
Cables used for calibration must be at least 50
feet (15 meters) long. Cable lengths of less than
50 feet will display FAULT.

Changing Display from Meters to Feet
During Calibration you will be able to switch the
displayed length from meters to feet by simply
pressing the MODE key.
Press the ON/OFF key once the desired cable
length or NVP is displayed to terminate 'Calibrate'
mode and store the new calibration factor.
MICROSCANNER will use it for future length
measurements until another calibration is
performed.
Battery
MICROSCANNER requires a 9 Volt Alkaline
battery. The Battery icon is displayed on the
screen when MICROSCANNER detects a low
battery condition.
Using MICROSCANNER with a low battery may
effect the test accuracy.
If MICROSCANNER is stored for more than one
month, the battery should be removed.
Note: MICROSCANNER will not function properly
with a 9 Volt Carbon Battery.
High Voltage Protection
MICROSCANNER is designed to withstand input
voltage conditions that arise from normal
telephony applications such as 48 VDC at less
than 80 ma or 24 VAC used to power many
keysets. Tests cannot be performed when hazard
conditions exist on the inputs.
