WARNING
SECURITEST SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using the Digital MultiMeter function to measure
voltage or current, be sure that the input does not exceed the
capabilities of the tester. Overloading the tester can cause
damage or personal injury.
When measuring current of unknown values, always begin
with the 10A mode, then step down to the 400mA input if
necessary.
Environmental Limitations
Temperature: -10 to 50 degrees C
14 to 122 degrees F
Relative Humidity: 0-90%, non-condensing
DC input voltage: 12V +/-10%, 1A

Do not use the unit in damp conditions or environments where
explosive gases may be present.
Do not handle the unit with wet hands.
Avoid dropping or causing mechanical shock to the unit.
Do not expose the ports to liquids and avoid exposure to dust.
Use only specified replacement fuses.
Do not use damaged test leads with the DMM function.
Do not measure resistance on powered circuits.
When using the DMM function, set the proper mode before
connecting to the circuit under test.
When measuring resistance, make certain that the circuit is de-
energized before connecting the test leads to the circuit.

WARNING
BATTERY CHARGING PRECAUTIONS
SecuriTEST is capable of
recharging NiMH batteries
installed in its battery
compartment.
Attach the included 12V adapter to
the handset to charge the batteries.
Charging time takes 8 hours.
Operation time is approximately 3-
4 hours on a fully charged set of
batteries.
When using alkaline batteries the
tester can run for approximately 2
hours on a new set of batteries.
When using alkaline batteries, set
the switch inside the battery
compartment to OFF to prevent
accidental charging of alkaline
batteries.


- Battery Precautions -
The following batteries can be used with SecuriTEST:
> AA size alkaline batteries
> AA size rechargeable nickel metal hydrogen
(Ni-MH) batteries
When charging batteries in SecuriTEST:
Place both the MAIN POWER and the CHARGE SWITCH to
the “ON” position. The charge LED will light when the
MAIN POWER SWITCH is in either position, but the
batteries will only charge when the switch is set to “ON”.
The CHARGE SWITCH is located on the upper part of
battery compartment. (Refer to the figure below)
The performance of batteries can be very different, depending
on manufacturers. Please use any reputable brand for best
performance. Do not mix batteries of different manufacturers
when charging batteries. Make sure not to reverse the
polarization of the batteries. Do not short-circuit or
disassemble batteries. Make sure to check the polarization
and the voltage and current ratings before charging batteries
and disconnect the charger immediately should an abnormal
situation arise.

FEATURES
SecuriTEST is a portable device for testing and
troubleshooting various functions of CCTV cameras. It
includes functions to test video image quality, control PTZ
operation, analyzes various PTZ protocols, generates video
test patterns, test UTP cables and includes a full-function
Digital MultiMeter.
All functions are controlled through the front keypad and on-
screen display. For testing each function, set up modes and
capacities to be tested, using the keypad located on the front
part of SecuriTEST.
MAIN FUNCTIONS OF SECURITEST
Video Tester The video signal and the quality of
picture can be tested, and brightness,
color and focus can also be adjusted
while the image is being watched.
Video signal generator mode: Outputs
color bars, Red Blue and Green to allow
technicians to inspect video monitor or
DVR. Supports both PAL & NTSC
video signal formats.
Multimeter Voltage, current, resistance and
continuity can be tested.
PTZ Controller The PTZ controller tests the motor
control of the dome and the focus and
zoom functions of the camera. Supports
RS-485/422 communications protocols.
UPT Cable Tester The UTP cable check tests unshielded
cables for continuity, opens, shorts and
miswired pairs.

To directly select a mode, press and hold the key
for 3 seconds then choose a mode and press the
key to select the mode.
Video Tester Mode:
In this mode, the image quality of the external input picture
signal is tested, or the monitor, etc. is tested by using the
picture signal that is output from PATTERN GENERATOR
mode.
Digital MultiMeter Mode:
In this mode, voltage, current, & continuity are tested.
PTZ Controller Mode:
In this mode, the basic movement of up, down, right, left for
PTZ cameras is controlled. Zooming and focus can also be
adjusted.
UTP Cable Test Mode:
UTP cables are tested for straight (direct), crossover, opens,
and shorts.
