ELECTRONIC SWITCH
The Analyzer has an integrated Electronic Switch (hereinafter "Switch") designed to increase
the efficiency of testing multi-wire cables.
Automated and manual control modes of the Switch allow to connect all combinations of wire
pairs of a multi-wire cable to the RJ45 socket "INPUT" (Fig.2, item 4).
The control of the Switch is impossible when testing power mains.
1.3.2. ADAPTER FOR TESTING OF THE POWER MAINS
The adapter (Fig.1, item 7) is used for connect the main unit to the tested power mains. LED
indicator in the plug, indicates the presence of voltage in the tested cable.
The adapter has the RJ45 plug. The contacts #1 and #2 are connected. Other contacts are not
involved.
1.3.3. PATCH CORD FOR CONNECTING TO THE PC SOCKET (RJ45)
Standard patch cord (Fig.1, item 20), is used for connect the main unit to RJ45 PC socket.
1.3.4. PATCH CORD FOR CONNECTING TO THE TELEPHONE SOCKET (RJ11)
The patch cord (Fig.1, item 21) is used when testing the telephone cable that are equipped
with RJ11 sockets.
The patch cord is equipped with RJ45 and RJ11 connectors. On the RJ45 connector six contacts
are involved (#2 - #7). Two extreme contacts (#1 and #8) are not connected.

1.3.6. PATCH CORD WITH A NEEDLE FOR CONNECTING TO THE CABLE SHIELD
The patch cord with a needle (Fig.1, item 22) is used when testing multi-wire shielded cables,
the screen of which is not connected to the connector. It connects to the "SHIELD" connector of
the main unit. On the wire there is a pin plug and a needle probe. The needle pierces the outer
insulation of the cable under test and provides contact with the screen.
1.3.7. ADAPTER FOR CONNECTING TO THE MULTI-WIRE CABLE
The adapter (Fig.1, item 16) is used to connect low-current cables with no connectors. When
connecting such cables (twisted pair type), it is recommended to take into account the color
scheme of wires of a cable (item 10.3).
1.3.8. PLAYER OF THE TEST SOUND (PTS). The player is not included in the package.
A player is required to search for eavesdropping devices. Any portable device equipped with a
speaker (smartphone, tablet, voice recorder) can be used.
Purpose of the PTS:
creation of an acoustic signal (the correlation of this signal and the information obtained
using the ST 301 means that there is an active eavesdropping device with an unencrypted
transmission channel in the room);
forced inclusion of eavesdropping devices equipped with a VOX activation system;
localization of detected listening devices;
creation of the "masking noise" during the search operations.
Files with sounds are recorded on a USB drive (fig.1, 7). The user can use their own sound files
that are optimally suited to the situation in which the search event is held (noise in the office,
people talking, music, etc.).
1.3.9. RJ45 SHORT-CIRCUIT SOCKET
This socket (Fig.1, item 15) is used for short circuit of all wires of the cable equipped with the
RJ45 connector at its test by NLJD.

1.4. POWER SUPPLY
The operation of the Analyzer is allowed only from the built-in accumulator.
A fully charged accumulator provides the Analyzer operation for 3 hours.
The accumulator charge level is shown in the Information line (Fig.22, item 3) on the screen.
The accumulator is charged using the charger (Fig.1, item 2).
To do this, insert the charger plug into the connector (Fig.2, item 8) on a side panel of the
Analyzer and connect the charger to the 220 V / 50 Hz power mains.
Charging is followed by a red luminescence of the indicator of connection of the charger (Fig.2,
item 7) on a side bar of the Analyzer.
Full charge time is not more than 5 hours. When charging is complete, the indicator changes
from red to green.
It is forbidden t o charg e t h e accumulator during operat i on of the Analyzer!

The scheme of connection is shown in Fig.3.
Fig.3
The adapter (in the plug) is connected to the socket of the tested cable, other end of the cable
is connected to the slot of "INPUT" of the main unit.
The LED indicator on the adapter shows existence or lack of voltage in the tested cable.
2.2. CONNECTING TO THE LAN CABLE
The LAN cables can be equipped with RJ45 plugs or RJ45 sockets.
2.2.1. CONNECTING TO THE LAN CABLE EQUIPPED WITH RJ45 PLUGS
When testing LAN cable, without the need for parallel connection of terminal devices, the LAN
cable equipped with a plug of RJ45 is connected directly to the slot of "INPUT" of the main unit.
The scheme of connection is shown in Fig.4, 2A option.
If test assumes parallel connection of terminal devices (PC, network printer, etc.), are used:
patch cord (Fig.1, item 20);
RJ45 splitter (Fig.1, item 12);
RJ45 socket (Fig.1, item 14).
The scheme of connection is shown in Fig.4, 2B option.

Fig.8
When connecting a LAN cable to the adapter, use the scheme (item 10.3).
This connection option is used when testing low-current cables using any device.
2.5. CONNECTING TO THE SHIELD OF LOW-CURRENT CABLE
When testing LAN cables, it is necessary (including) to test pairs consisting of wire of the
multi-wire cable and the cable shield. If the cable shield is connected to the grounding contact of
a socket or plug, use a "grounded" patch cord (Fig.1, item 20). Sometimes the shield of the cable
does not connect to the grounding pin of a socket or plug.

CONNECTING TO WIRE LINES
16
In addition, the shielded cable under test may not be equipped with an socket or plug. In this
case, connecting the main unit with a shielded patch cord will not provide the cable shield contact
with the grounding contact ST 301.
For connection of the shield it is necessary to use a patch cord with a probe needle (Fig.1, item
22) equipped with a probe needle. This needle punctures the isolation of the tested cable and
provided contact with the shield.
The other end of this patch cord is equipped with a jack that connects to the "SHIELD" slot of
the main unit.
The scheme of connection to shielded cable (which no equipped with socket and plug) using
the adapter (Fig.1, item 16) and a patch cord with a probe needle is shown in Fig.9.
Fig.9
The scheme of connection of the shielded cable equipped with a plug is shown in Fig.10.
Fig.10
The cable is connected directly to the "INPUT" slot of the main unit. The contact with the cable
shield is provided by means of the patch cord with the probe needle (Fig.1, item 22).
The scheme of connection of the shielded cable equipped with the socket is shown in Fig.11.
Fig.11
The main unit is connected to the socket by means of the patch cord (Fig.1, item 20).
