The Hioki 3665-20 LAN CABLE HiTESTER is a hand-held cable
tester that provides easy operations to test wiremap, measure
cable length and identify twisted-pair cables. It is useful for veri-
fying connections after installing connectors on cables. Optional
terminators are available to facilitate easy identification of multi-
ple cables. The HiTester is especially convenient for testing
cables in working networks in the event of faults caused by
open- or short-circuited cable wiring.

Testing cable connections after installing connectors
Checking wiremaps (p.19).
Troubleshoot cables in working networks
When an open- or short-circuit fault is present in a cable, the
HiTester displays the distance along the cable from it to the fault.
So when a problem occurs in a working network, the HiTester
determines whether the problem is caused by an open- or short-
circuit in the cable, and its location (p.29).
Identifying cables installed together
When multiple cables are installed together, distinguishing which
cable is connected to what device can be difficult. However, the
HiTester can easily identify multiple cables by using optional ter-
minators. Up to 21 cables can be identified using multiple termi-
nators (p.30).

1.2 Features
Simple Operation
Test cable wiremap, measure length and identify connec-
tions with a simple procedure: just connect the ends to the
HiTester and a terminator, and press the key.
Compact Size
The compact HiTester can be carried as a hand tool and
operated with one hand.
Easy-to-See Display
Test results are displayed in large characters and graphic
symbols.
Cable Length Measurement Calibration Func-
tion
For the most precise cable length measurements, set the
NVP value to calibrate the HiTester (p.31).

Before using the HiTester, install two AA-size (LR6) alkaline bat-
teries. Also, before each test, verify that the batteries have suffi-
cient remaining capacity, and replace them if they are weak.
Testing
Preparations Chapter 2
2.1 Installing the Batteries
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or differ-
ent types of batteries. Also, be careful to
observe battery polarity during installation.
Otherwise, poor performance or damage
from battery leakage could result.
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not
short circuit, disassemble or incinerate bat-
teries.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accor-
dance with local regulations.
• The indicator flashes when battery voltage
becomes low. Replace the new batteries soon.
• Do not attempt to use any power source other
than the specified AA-size (LR6) alkaline batter-
ies. Operating time with non-alkaline (manga-
nese) batteries is shorter.

2.1 Installing the Batteries
14
1. Remove the test cable, if connected.
2. Turn the HiTester off.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover from the rear of
the HiTester.
4. Install the new batteries, with attention to proper polarity.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Rear Panel
To avoid damaging
the battery com-
partment cover, do
not attempt to open
it by inserting a
screwdriver into the
latch hole.

2.3 Auto Power-Off Function
16
The HiTester includes an auto power-off function to prevent bat-
tery depletion in case you forget to turn it off. It turns off automat-
ically if no key is pressed for about ten minutes.
2.3 Auto Power-Off Function
The auto power-off function cannot be disabled.

Cable Testing
Procedures Chapter 3
3.1 Basic Procedure
• To avoid equipment damage, do not attempt to
test a cable connected to an operating network.
The RJ-45 cable test jacks on the HiTester and
terminators are intended for testing only stand-
alone cables.
• Do not connect any cable other than the twisted
pair cable. For example, a voltage of approxi-
mately 48 V is applied to a live telephone wire,
and therefore will damage the HiTester if it is
connected to the wire.
The characteristics of twisted-pair cables can vary
depending on installation conditions. Avoid unnec-
essary bending of cables to be tested. When nec-
essary to bend a cable, the radius of curvature
should be at least four times the outer diameter of
the cable.
