f there is a short circuit in the cable, it will display as follows:
Push key (No) to exit calibration function. Push key
(Yes) to repeat measurement process.
Note: The calibration will recover the standard value of Class
UTP5 cable.
Start Up or Shut Down Hunting Function
1. Press “Push to test” key, the hunting indicator light (scan) will
flash, which indicates that audio frequency transmission of main
tester is activated. nsert the cable to be tested into the RJ45
SCAN port. Hold the receiver to trace the cable needed (the
usage of receiver is shown in the following). RJ11/BNC/USB
cable is located when inserted into its corresponding port.
Using the Receiver
nstall a 9V battery. Press the “Push to Test” key, then approach
the cables with the probe. When the probe is near the target
cable, the problem will “beep” and the signal indicator light
“Power” will turn on. The louder the “beep” and brighter the
“Power” light indicates the closer you are to the targeted cable.
2. The user can turn the volume switch to control the volume in.
3. The Floodlight function helps users with operating low
light settings.
4. The earphone function helps avoid external interference in
noisy settings.
5. The test can not measure cable length and wire faults when it
is set to trace cable.

PLEASE READ NSTRUCT ONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERAT NG
EQU PMENT
• The tester uses 9V battery for power supply.
• Please use battery specified; otherwise it may result in
damages to the equipment.
• Keep equipment away from dust, debris, humidity and
temperature over 104˚F (40˚C).
• Never dismount equipment arbitrarily.
• Maintenance and care of equipment to be conducted by a
professional personnel is recommended.
• The tester will power down automatically if inactive for 30
minutes.
• Please take out batteries if equipment is unused for a long
period of time to prevent battery liquid from leaking and
corrosion.
• Never use the equipment to detect power cord with
electricity (such as power supply circuit of 220V), other
wise, it may result in damages to the equipment and/or
personal injury.
• Never conduct testing in thunderstorms to prevent
lightning strike and impact which can jeopardize personal
safety.

Calibration and Setup Function
Entering the calibration and setup function, the tester will display
as follows:
Dynamic Calibration Function
For accurate measurement of cable length, the calibration oper-
ation process should be as follows:
nsert same type of cable for given length into Main Tester, do
not insert into far-end remote identifier, push key (Yes) to un-
dertake measurement and display the measured length:
Hold and (- / +) to adjust the length to actual length and
then push to save calibration setting. f cable length is
too short (<10M) display is as follows.

Test Result 1: Abnormal Pair & Length
Display paired lines and length first then unpaired lines as
shown below:
Coaxial/Telephone Measurement Function
Entering the coaxial cable and telephone line measurement
function, the tester will start and display test results as follows:
Pair&L
The last line (78 ) indicates no pair was found in lines 7 and 8.
Push key, to display length of unpaired line number as
shown below.
“X” will be displayed to indicate an open circuit if the length is
less than 90% of other lines’ length. n the diagram, the open
circuit is located at around 89.3M in line 8.
if there is an open circuit/disconnect in cables, display will read
“Open” or “Short” if there are any short circuits. Push key
to repeat measurement or push key to return to the main
menu. The far-end recognizer will “beep” if cables run in normal
conditions.
Note: Coaxial testing requires BNC adapter cable. Telephone
testing requires RJ11 adapter cable.

Overview
P TS-TP-1 is a convenient cable tester for RJ11, RJ45,
USB, coaxial connection in addition to measuring the length
of a cable. This cable testing set includes a testing unit,
receiving unit, and a remote identifying unit. There are three
main features: wire hunting, wire sorting and circuit status
testing. With such convenient functions all in one,
P TS-TP-1 makes for a great addition to a technicians
collection of tools for installation and maintenance of weak
current system, such as, communication line,
comprehensive wiring circuit, etc. This system is widely
used on telephone systems, computer networking and other
related fields.
Main Tester Receiver Remote identifier
Note: Due to technical parameters of different brands of cables,
calibrate length according to the brand before starting length
test.
Test Result 1: Short Circuit (SHORT)
f any short circuit is found in the cable or terminal, the display
will read as follows: (e.g. 12 short circuit)
Pair & Length Functions
Measuring length of cable uses only Main Tester, no remote
identifier required. Entering Pair & Length function will display
as follows:
Test Result 2: Normal Pair & Length
f Pair & Length measurements fall under normal conditions,
the display will read as follows:
Push key to restart testing or push key to return to
main menu.

Test Result 4: Open Circuit, Far-End
“R” line “3” and “6” pins displays “X,” which indicates an open
circuit in the far-end plug “3” and “6” pins and the open circuit is
located nearby the far-end plug. (Open point should be at 10%
cable length). Note: detected cable is made of paired cable
cores, “open” error at far-end will always display in pairs, which
means there is one open circuit or both are open in the far-end
“3” and ”6” pins.
“M” line “3” pin displays “X,” which indicates an open circuit in
the near-end plug “3” pin and the open circuit is located nearby
the near-end plug. (Open point should be at 10% cable length).
“ ” line “3” pin displays “X,” which indicates an open circuit in the
middle of the “3” pin cable. (Open point should be at 10%-90%
cable length if measured from near-end).
