Setting up the KE3600
Battery charge display
The KE3600 comes with a high-performance Lithium Polymer (LiPo) rechargeable battery. Despite its light
weight, this allows the device to operate for up to 4 hours in measuring mode under a full load. The charger can
simultaneously operate the KE3600 and charge the battery. The battery is safely charged by a special charge
controller taking into account the time, voltage and current to ensure maximum service life.
Note: Please fully charge battery before first use!
Changes the charging LED from orange to green the charging is completed. To check the charge
indicator after the initial charging turn off the device and then turn it on again with the AC adapter
connected for about 1 minute. During this time, the battery indicator will be calibrated and now
displays the correct value.

Documentation and Software
Up-to-date operating instructions and software updates can be found in our KE3500 download area
after logging on in the CUSTOMER LOGIN.
You will find it under the Downloadarea menu item. After entering the serial number, you will find all
current documents available for download in the following window.

Information LEDs
The KE 3600 has five LEDs that display a range of important but easy-to-use information about the current
status of the device. From left to right the LEDs mean:
DSL CRC – orange
This LED lights when a CRC (checksum error) near end or far end is recognized. These errors (fewer than 10)
can arise after a connection has been established. In any case, check if the counter is still counting to
determine if other causes (faults) exist. You can access the error counter menu in the respective test menu.
DSL LOSS – orange
After a connection is established in non-resync mode, a DSL loss event is displayed here and also signaled
with an intermittent tone for 10 seconds. The tone can be stopped by pressing SEL once.
DSL L1 – green
When the KE3600 is activated in xDSL Mode, this LED begins to flash at 2 Hz to signal Ready Status. It is
waiting for a carrier. As soon as this is detected LED flashes at 4 Hz until the connection is established, and then
it is lit steadily as long as the connection exists.
DSL L2 – green
For DSL connection on Line 2 (bonding).
BATT CHRG – green and red
This display is active even when the KE3600 is turned off. The green LED indicates that the power supply or
charger is inserted and is supplying power. The red LED signals that the battery is in charging mode. This
produces a green/red or orange display during charging. Once controlled charging is complete, the red LED
turns off and only the green LED lights to signal that the power supply or automatic charger is still active and
that charging is complete.The power supply enables the KE3600 to be charged and operated
SIMULTANEOUSLY. The car charger only charges the battery.
Switching On
The KE3600 works with an operating system that has to be
booted. The boot menu with various device parameters
such as the hardware and software versions appears at the
end of the booting process. You can bring up the main menu
immediately by pressing any button.

Main Menu
The battery display is at the top left. After calibration, it
shows the actual battery charge using 16 levels.
In the center, the line voltage is shown in xTU-R mode in the
main menu with a precision of approximately +/- 5%. This
tells you if there is any line voltage and its level so that you
can distinguish between an analog and ISDN connection.
This also reveals if the measurement is before or after a
splitter.
The date and time are shown to the right.
Four selection positions are available in the main menu:
1. Broadband
2. Telephony
3. Copper Test
4. Setup
General Operation
In all the menus and submenus that have selection functions, the selectable parameters are either identified
with left and right arrows (◄ and ►) or without arrows. When the entry is marked with the left and right arrows,
you can switch between parameters by pressing the ◄ / ► buttons. When the entry is without the arrows,
press SEL (SELECT) to move to a submenu where you can change settings. Press ESC to exit and save the
selection in the menu. In the main menus, the previously selected menu item is saved. The next time you turn
on the device, the scrollbar is automatically set to the previously selected item.

Saving Measurements
You can save the data during the measurement by pressing
the SEL button. A window opens where you can enter the
memory as a name or number. After confirmation with SEL,
the measurement is stored in the internal memory.
After entering and confirming by selecting the character, this
measurement is saved with the name or number you entered.
Very useful is a specification, for example with Customers
name or telephone number. The limitation is given only by the
internal memory (2 GB). However, you should ensure that the
stored data is regularly downloaded and deleted. The deletion
is easily possible with the supplied KE-Manager.
QR code generation
When you press the "7" key a QR code is calculated from a
portion of the displayed data. This is then displayed on the
screen and can be read with appropriate readers.
Profiles
All parameters can also be created in the profiles menu from
the KE-Manager. The profiles are then called to load and save
profiles using the menu item. The loaded data can always be
revised as described previously or changed. The change is
only until they leave the test is valid if it is not saved before.

KE-Manager
The KE-Manager is a flexible tool to manage the
KE3600 and download the data of the measurements.
The KE-Manager is like the KE3600 very clearly
designed and largely intuitive and comes with the
included CD-ROM (or Kurth Electronic Homepage).
Setup of the PC
When installing the KE-Manager, the user must have
administrative rights and possibly turn off the virus
protection and the Windows Firewall.
Connection to the PC
The KE3600 can be connected directly via the device
management port to the Ethernet port of the PC.
Optimally, however, is the use of an available Ethernet
interface on the same network, so the PC can remain
in the network. It will automatically determine an IP
address (UPnP address) and the KE3600 appears
with the IP address and serial number in the select list
of the KE-Manager.
Opening the KE-Manager
Click on the KE-Manager icon on your PC desktop.
The KE-Manager starts and displays by various colors
on the connection status to the PC. If there are
problems getting a connection to the device you can
use the option Reset Management IF in the Setup
menu.
The green coloured background indicates the
established connection.You are now ready to control
KE3600 through the KE-Manager.
Configuration
Settings for several basic options and
licensing, transmitter list (IPTV profiles) and
the profil set can be executed here.
x-DSL
Gives close information to the active and
stored tests.

Changing the LiPo Battery
The decreasing battery charge is clearly identifiable on the display provided that the initial adjustment was
done during first start-up.
The battery can be charged, the charge control display red LED goes off, but the battery display still will not
show full. As long as the displayed capacity does not go under 50%, the KE3500 can be safely used; it only
has to be charged more frequently. If the display goes below 50%, you need to change the battery. You can
either send in the device and the battery will be changed for a fee, or you can order a replacement battery.
Changing the battery
First remove the two lower compartment screws. Pull the bottom downward. The battery is in a plastic holder
in the bottom part and it is plugged into the board with a plug protected against polarity reversal. After the
housing is opened, this must be pulled out. Insert the new battery and securely fasten the holder. Plug the
connection cable into the board and screw on the housing. Make sure to only hand-tighten the housing
screws.
Loop Test
Here you can consider the stored loop
analysis tests from KECT3 Cooper
