Warning!
Do not attach to AC power, this may
damage the Net-Rite™ and the Trace-Rite™
generator and could cause a safety hazard
for the user.
Caution!
Improperly crimped, damaged or un-crimped
plugs can damage the jack on the Net-
Rite™ and Trace-Rite™. Inspect plugs
for proper termination and crimping before
inserting into the tester. Contacts should
always be recessed into the plastic grooves
of the plug.

Instructions for Use
To Wiremap a Cable
Using the RJ45 jacks, connect Net-Rite™
main unit and remote to the cable you
want to test.
An icon and the wiremap are always
displayed. Net-Rite™ reports:
PASS when the cable pins are
properly connected per T568A/B
and there are no other faults, or
an error icon when it does not
pass. Pins with errors flash an error
message: Miswire, Split, Open, Short,
or Reverse.
To Trace a Tone
Using the RJ12 jack on the remote,
connect the Trace-Rite™ Tone Generator
to the cable to be traced.
Slide the Tone Generator switch up to
select one of the two tones (stutter tone
or fast stutter tone). The green LED lights
and flashes intermittently to indicate the
tone generator is powered on and which
tone speed has been selected.
Press and hold the black button on the
Amplified Probe to turn on the probe.

Adjust volume control on the side of the
Trace-Rite™ to a comfortable level. If the
signal is very loud when near the cable,
adjust the volume to avoid overloading the
Trace-Rite™. When overloaded, small
increases or decreases in the signal at the
tip cannot be heard.
Hold the tip of the Trace-Rite™ near the
cable to be identified. The signal will be
loudest on the wire or cable attached to
the generator. Separating the wires or
cables may help in isolating the correct
cable.

Interpreting Wiremap Errors
Miswire—One or more pins or pairs are not
connected to the correct pins at the other
end of the cable, i.e., one-to-one—pin 1 to
pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc.
Split—A split pair is an error in the twisting
of the wires together within the cable. The
cables generally are made up of eight wires
twisted together in 4 pairs. These 4 pairs are
designated as pairs by the wiring standards
and are intended to carry a signal and its
return. 1 & 2, 3 & 6, 4 & 5 and 7 & 8 are the
pairs designated by T568A/B for a RJ45 jack
or plug. A cable can be wired with correct
continuity, but not with correct pairing. This
often happens when the cable is terminated
consistently at both ends, but in the wrong
order. A dynamic or AC test is required to
detect this type of error. If the only error
is a split pair error, the cable has correct
continuity. If cross talk is not a concern, as in
flat satin cable, the cable is good if the only
error is the split pair error.
Open—The pair is not connected.
Short—The pair has a low resistance
connection between wire pairs or the shield.
The wire pairs involved displays on the LCD
screen.

6
Reverse—A reverse (Rev) pair is a special
case of a Miswire, and both icons will be
flashing. The wires are connected to the
correct pair of pins, but the two leads are
reversed.
Voltage—When voltage is detected on
any of the pins, lightning bolt icons flash.
Disconnect from the cable as soon as
possible.
