•If you connect 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.
(If not, operation error may occur.)
•When measuring cable 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
device 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 is 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-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.)
•When connecting IP camera, the measured value is displayed as PAIR OK, OPEN or SHORT.
(Please make sure to use the product while the power of IP camera is not applied.)
•When connecting IP products, the measured value may displayed as PAIR OK, OPEN, SHORT or
Cable open or Too short (when not measured) depending on the power ON/OFF status and

10-2. How to measure Loop Resistance of coaxial cable
(Loop Resistance& BNC to TB (2P) Connector)
•Use to measure Loop resistance of coaxial cable.
•Connect the coaxial cable to the Cable Tester (BNC). Before measuring, connect BNC to TB
Connector with Straight Adaptor Jack-Jack connected to the end of the coaxial cable. The switch
of the connector should be set as LOOP.
※If the product is connected to the cable, the loop resistance is not measured and displayed as
OPEN.
10-3. How to measure cable length by using BNC to TB Connector’s switch set as CABLE
•Connect BNC to TB Connector to the BNC of the Cable Tester and connect the cable at the
terminal block of the connector. Set the switch of the connector as CABLE.
