Safety Precautions
Exercise caution when handling rechargeable batteries (accumulators)
All lithium-ion battery packs (Li-ion), regardless of their indicated charge state, are capable
of producing electrical current sufficient to cause personal injury and/or property damage.
Do not dispose of lithium-ion battery packs (Li-ion) in a fire or with regular waste. Lithium-
ion battery packs (Li-ion) may explode if exposed to open flame. The battery packs are
hazardous waste and may contaminate ground water sources if disposed of in landfills.
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. tries to provide the maximum protection possible by installing an
automatic reset fuse in the battery packs, to help stop high current discharge as quickly as
possible. However, these fuses may not completely protect against a momentary arc
discharge, which can result if the battery pack's electrical contacts are shorted. The
following battery pack handling precautions must be closely followed to avoid risk of injury.
•When a battery pack is not installed in the Display (DH) or Remote (RH) handset, it
should be kept in a clean, dry, non-conductive package.
•Keep conductive materials away from the battery pack at all times.
•Keep contact sides of the battery pack away from each other at all times.
•Battery packs can be charged while in the Display (DH) and in the Remote (RH)
handset, but also externally with the adapter. Charging in any other manner may
cause the battery pack to explode.
•Always install, remove, store, and charge the battery packs in a non-explosive
atmosphere.
•Observe operating and storage temperatures (see chapter 1.3. Dimensions, Weights,
Operating Conditions).
•Do not allow children or persons unfamiliar with the precautionary instructions in
this manual to handle or recharge the battery packs.
•Do not open the battery pack case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
case, and the batteries in the case are not replaceable.

Disclaimer
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. does not assume any liability for death, injury or damage to
equipment or property resulting from improper use of the battery packs.
IDEAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. will not be liable for consequential damages that may result from
tampering with the battery packs or charger or their use thereafter.
Subject to technical changes.
Environmental Protection
If you have any questions concerning these precautions, the operating instructions, or any
other concerns about the safe use and disposal of the battery packs used in LanTEK®III,
please contact a representative of IDEAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. For contact information, please
refer to Chapter Customer Service.
Using the LanTEK®III Cable Certifier
All cable parameter default settings programmed in the LanTEK®III Cable Certifier are based
on generic standards, proposed industry recommendations for cables and network links,
the latest technical information available from International LAN cabling standards
committees, the LAN industry, and IDEAL INDUSTRIES' own experience and testing.
Before performing any measurements, IDEAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. recommends to request
detailed information from contractor or project manager on the standards to be used for
measuring, to ensure that relevant parameters are complied with.
Information on the use of this Instruction Manual
The following symbols used in this manual indicate that the user should exercise particular
caution in order to prevent personal injury or damage to the LanTEK®II Cable Certifier or the
system under test.
WARNING!
This symbol indicates potentially lethal voltages. The life and/or health of the person
performing the activity or anybody in the vicinity is at risk.
CAUTION!
This symbol indicates that the relative activity could possibly harm the environment or
damage technical equipment.

2.3 Power Management
Both the Display (DH) and Remote (RH) handset use interchangeable rechargeable lithium-
ion battery packs (Li-ion).
•The Display (DH) and Remote (RH) handsets can be run on battery power for
approximately 18 hours. Actual battery power times depends on various factors,
such as operating time versus standby time, use of the display backlight, and
ambient temperature.
•When charge state of battery drops below the required voltage, a warning appears.
Tester automatically shuts down before testing results are affected.
•To save battery power, the Display (DH) and Remote (RH) handset automatically
power down after a certain period of inactivity.
•If the instrument will not be used for a prolonged time it is recommended that the
battery protection strips be inserted to conserve battery charge.
2.3.1 Operating the Display and Remote handset from AC Power
The Display (DH) and Remote (RH) handset can also be operated from an external DC
source (AC/DC adapter). The adapters are universally applicable.
Fig. 7 Adapter for LanTEK III DH and RH
When using the AC/DC adapter to power the handsets, please note that:
•Both handset batteries will receive a trickle charge.
•A power plug will appear in the upper left corner of the Display handset (DH).
CAUTION!
Only the adapter provided with the instrument shall be used. Other types of adapters
may cause damage to the tester.
NOTE:
Do not connect to AC power when testing shielded cables, as this may result in ground
loops which in turn can cause input protection warnings.

LanTEK III 161809 Iss 2
User Manual Page16
2.3.2 Battery Charging
The batteries of the Display (DH) and Remote (RH) handset are charged using the adapter.
It takes approximately 6-8 hours until the batteries in the instrument are fully charged. If the
batteries are charged externally, charge time is approximately 4 hours.
During recharging, the instrument is calibrated to the corresponding battery. This ensures
an accurate indication of the charge state at all times.
NOTE:
Charge time depends on charge state of battery.
When the battery is removed, the Display handset (DH) data and preferences are preserved
in the flash ROM by a coin cell lithium battery.
2.4 Talkset
The LanTEK®III Cable Certifier is designed for use with a talkset. This function allows
communication between the Display (DH) and Remote (RH) handset through an externally
attached microphone/headset. For this purpose, the Display (DH) and Remote (RH)
handset must be connected to the test adapters through a cable.

Chapter 3. Basics of the Cable Test
3.1 Testing of cables and relevant requirements
The following sections describe typical setup for permanent link and channel link testing.
Fig. 8 Illustration of test setup
The area marked with Pindicates the typical test setup of a Permanent Link.
The area marked with Cindicates the typical test setup of a Channel Link.
3.1.1 Setup for Permanent Link Test
The standards ANSI, EIA, TIA and ISO all differentiate between permanent link and channel
link on specifications for testing of communication networks. A permanent link consists of
up to 90 meters of horizontal cabling. (Maximum length limit applies to TIA standards only.)
The permanent link shown above serves to certify the installation of the horizontal cabling
before network connection and user hook-up. Adapters, patch cords and jumpers are
excluded from testing.
Depending on the link under test, Permanent Link testing with LanTEKIII requires different
Adapters:
•All RJ-45 cabling systems:
R161051
Permanent Link Adapter
R161050
PL Adapter Replacement Tips
•All non-45 cabling systems:
R161056
LanTEK® GG45-Adapter
R161054
LanTEK® TERA-Adapter
R161055
LanTEK® EC7-Adapter
NOTE:
Please visit www.idealnetworks.net for an
up to date full list of test Adapters.

User Manual Page18
3.1.2 Setup for Channel Link Test
A channel link includes all components of a cabling system. It consists of up to 90 meters
horizontal cabling, including patch cords, jumpers, and test adapters at each cable end. The
channel link shown above serves to certify the network installation, including the horizontal
cable line and patch cord.
Channel link testing requires different test Adapters depending on the link under test:
R161056
LanTEK® GG45-Adapter
R161054
LanTEK® TERA-Adapter
R161055
LanTEK® EC7-Adapter

NOTE:
Please visit www.idealnetworks.net for an

3.1.3 Setup for other Test Methods
Depending on the testing requirements other than permanent link and channel, LanTEKIII
offers various testing configurations:
•Coaxial testing
R161057
LanTEK® Coax-Kit
•Testing of End-to-End (E2E) , Device- or Direct Attach Links:
R160050
& R161053
LanTEK® Industrial Ethernet Kit
& LanTEK® Cat. 6A-Adapter for RJ-45
(both Adapters are required)
