• Make sure to use over DC5V 1.5A for USB adapter charger.
• The remaining battery level is displayed, so it is able to manage the battery efficiently
by controlling the charging time.
• While the product is charging, the remaining battery level is not displayed.
• If the battery is running low, the product is automatically turned OFF. Connect the USB
charger and use the product.
• Continuous use hour may vary depending on the measurement mode and cable length.
• The measured value may be displayed differently depending on the Load Data value
and the cable type.
• The maximum measured length of cable may vary depending on the cable
manufacturer.
• If the connected cable is not the same specification with calibrated cable,
measurement error may occur.
• If the USB cable is disconnected while the battery is charging, the stabilization process
may take one or several minutes. (The shorter charging time is, the longer stabilisation
time is).
• If you conne ct the product while power (PoE, PoC) is on, it may damage the product.
Please turn the power off and measure.
• BNC must be correctly tightened when connecting coaxial cable to the Cable Tester
Tester. (If not, operation error may occur. occur.)
• When measuring c able while connected to camera, DVR or other devices, the
measurement result may displayed as Open or Short according to the cable length. Or
the cable length may be measured differently depending on the type of device. Please
measure while the power of ofde vice is off. (If a video is output from other devices, it
may affect the measurement of cable. To measure the accurate length, the cable end
should be Open.)
• When connecting coaxial products, the measured value may be displayed as OPEN,
SHORT or Cable open or Too short (when not measured) depending on the power ON/
OFF status and product specifications.
• When measuring coaxial cable, it is able to get accurate length and OPEN, SHORT
length of cable if you measure the both ends of cable. When the cable i s normal, the
measured values are same if you measure the both ends of cable.
• (When the cable is OPEN, it is able to check short short-circuited length if BNC to TB
Connector is set to LOOP (SHORT), connected to the cable end and the measured
status is OPEN.
• When the measured status is SHORT, it is able to check SHORT length if BNC to TB
Connector is set to LOOP (SHORT), connected to the cable end and the measured
status is SHORT).
