1. SAFETY INFORMATION
◆This IPC tester is intended to be used in compliance with any local electrical codes and should
not be used in areas where the use of electronics is prohibited, such as gas stations, hospitals
◆To prevent electronics malfunctions or failures, this product should not be splashed with or
submerged in liquids.
◆Exposed parts of the tester should not be touched by the dust and/or liquid.
◆During transportation and use, it is highly recommended to avoid the violent collisions,
dropping or vibration of the tester, otherwise component damage may occur which can lead to
equipment failure.
◆Don’t leave the tester unattended while charging and recharging. If the battery seems to be
overheating in any capacity, please remove charging cable from IPC tester immediately.
The IPC tester should not be charged for more than 8 hours continuously.
◆Don’t use the tester in high humidity areas. If the tester seems to be damp in any form, power
off immediately and disconnect any other connected cables.
◆The tester should not be used in the environments with the flammable gas.
◆Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the tester since no component inside can be
user-repaired. Any attempt to repair the unit yourself can lead to voiding of the warranty.
◆The tester should not be used in an environment with strong electromagnetic interference.
◆Don’t touch the tester with wet/sweaty hands or anything that could drip liquids onto tester.
◆Do not use any harsh or caustic detergents to clean the tester. If dirt cannot be removed with a
slightly moist soft cloth, you can use water and a neutral detergent to wash off the dirt.
Digital Multi-meter use
◆Before use, make sure you are selecting the correct input jack(s), function and range for what
signal you are trying to measure.
◆Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in specifications for each range of
measurement.
◆When the tester is linked to a measurement circuit, do not touch any unused terminals.
◆Do not measure voltage if the voltage on the terminals exceeds 660V above earth ground.

- 2 -
◆When selecting a manual voltage range, if you do not know the voltage beforehand, please use
the highest voltage range before measuring.
◆Always be careful when working with voltages above 60V DC or 40V AC, making sure to avoid
direct skin contact with the metal part of the measuring probes.
◆Never connect any source of voltage while the meter is in the Current, Resistance, Capacitance
or Diode mode, since it may cause major damage to the tester.
◆Never perform capacitance measurements unless the capacitor to be measured has been
discharged fully.
◆Never take any resistance, capacitance, diode or continuity measurements on live circuits.
Visual laser sources
When enabling any visual laser source on tester, please do not directly stare at the beam or permanent eye
damage may occur. When not using the laser, please turn it off and cover with protective cap.
2. IP Camera Tester Introduction
2.1 General
The 3.5 inch touch screen IP camera monitor is designed for maintenance and installation of IP cameras,
analog cameras, TVI, CVI, AHD cameras, as well as testing 4K H.264 /4k H.265 cameras by their Main stream.
The 480 x 320 screen resolution enables it to display network HD cameras and analog cameras in
high-definition resolution. The unit supports many ONVIF PTZs and analog PTZ control. The combination of
touch screen and key buttons make the IP camera tester very user- friendly. The tester is also a great tool for
Ethernet network testing. It can test PoE power voltage, ping commands, and supports IP address searching.
You can use the blue cable tracer to locate individual connected cables from a bundle of cables. Includes
hardware to test LAN cable for proper connection termination. Other functions include providing 24W PoE
power to your camera, CVBS loop test, testing IP and analog cameras at the same time, LED Flashlight, DC 12V
1A power output and much more. Its portability, user-friendly design and many other functions make the IP
tester an essential tool for all installers or technicians.

3. OPERATION
3.1 Installing the Battery
The tester has built-in lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery. The battery cable inside battery
cabin should be disconnected for safety during transportation.
Prior to the use of the instrument, the battery cables inside the battery cabin should be well
connected. Pressing the key continuously can power on or off the tester.
Notice: Use the original adaptor and connected cable of the device!
When the battery icon is full or the charge indicator turns off automatically, indicate the
battery charging is completed
Notice: When the Charge Indicator turns off, the battery is approximately 90%
charged. The charging time can be extended for about 1 hour and the charging time within
12 hours will not damage the battery.
Notice: Press the key several seconds to restore the default settings when the

instrument works abnormally.
Multi-meter: the red and black multi-meter pen must insert the corresponding port.
Warnings: Instrument communication port is not permitted access circuit voltage over 6V,
otherwise damage the tester.
Warnings: Not allow insert multi-meter pen in the
current terminal to measure voltage.
3.2 Instrument connection
3.2.1 IP camera connection
Power an IP camera with an independent power supply, then connect the IP camera to the IPC
tester’s LAN port, if the link indicator of the tester’s LAN port is green and the data indicator flickers, it
means the IP camera and the IPC tester are communicating. If the two indicators don’t flicker, check if
the IP camera is powered on or the network cable is not functioning properly.
Note: 1) If the IP camera requires PoE power, then connect the IP camera to the IP tester’s LAN port.
The tester will supply PoE Power for the IP camera. Click on the icon labeled POE to turn the PoE
Power off or on.
