CABlE lENGTh SpECIFICATIoNS
• Min. cable length for testing: 3 feet.
• Max. cable length for testing: 600 feet.
• Maximum Flat Cable Length for cable assembly to attach main unit
or remote to a wall jack or patch panel: 18 inches.
Note: Although the TT64200 is equipped with 8 position modular
plug jacks, cables with smaller 6 position and 4 position connectors
may also be tested. The user should be aware that the use of smaller
connectors will reduce the total number of jack insertions over the life
of the product.
TESTING pATCh CABlES
1. Connect the main unit to one end of the cable to be tested.
2. Connect Remote unit to plug at far end of cable.
3. Push the TEST button to perform test.
4. Read LEDs to determine cable wiring status.
Note: Tester will automatically turn off in 12 seconds.
TESTING INSTAllED CABlES
1. Using the jumper cable, connect the remote unit to the wall jack or
patch panel port to be tested.
2. Using the second jumper cable, connect the main unit to the other
wall jack or patch panel port to be tested.
3. Push the TEST button to perform test.
4. Read status of LEDs to determine cable wiring status.
Note: Tester will automatically turn off in 12 seconds.

FAIl INDICAToRS
A flashing LED indicates that this wire pair has a fault. A flashing LED
in the FAIL section will indicate which fault was detected. Multiple
flashing LEDs indicate multiple pairs and/or multiple faults. Best
practice is to correct cable faults until cable is verified as correct with
appropriate green LEDs.
• opEN – There is no "OPEN" LED indication. A typical cable may have
2, 3, or 4 pairs. OPENS are displayed as an unlit LED. The user will
determine if a pair is present and continuous or OPEN by comparing
the illuminated LEDs to the expected number of pairs that should
be good. For example, when testing a 4 pair cable, three illuminated
LEDs in the PASS area indicate the presence of an OPEN condition
in one of the pairs.
• ShoRT – A short circuit condition exists.
• MISWIRE – Indicates the improper assignment of individual wire
pairs to pins for the wiring schemes tested. Tester checks T568A,
T568B, 10Base-T, and Token Ring configurations.
• REvERSAl – Reverse wiring means the pin for
one wire in a pair is connected to the opposite pin
for the pair in the remote jack.

• SplIT pAIRS – Split pairs occur
when the tip (positive conductor)
and ring (negative conductor) of
two twisted pairs are interchanged.

as a normal patch cable.
Note: The TT64200 will check
a fault condition in the above
descending order before
detecting other fault conditions.
The detection and indication of the
presence of a fault is handled on a
"one-per-test" basis. Once a fault is
corrected, it is recommended the
cable be tested again for other faults.
DEBuG MoDE
The DEBUG mode identifies which cable pairs have a wiring fault. It
cycles through pairs displaying a test result for one pair at a time. From
the series of LED indications, the failed pair and fault can be identified.
In Debug mode, a short flash on PAIR LED is the pair under test. A
long flash on PAIR LEDs is destination of test.
To DEBUG:
1. Press and hold TEST button until all LEDs light, then release.
2. The pair identification LEDs and the FAIL LEDs work together in
series to identify which pair is incorrect.
3. If a series of two green LEDs light for a pair then that pair is wired
correctly.
4. A green pair LED followed by a red LED in the FAIL section
identifies which pair is incorrect and identifies the fault.
5. DEBUG cycles through the pairs twice before automatically
shutting off.
6. Pushing and quickly releasing the TEST button also turns tester off.
DEBuG Example #1 The Cable Fault is a SHORT on Pair 3-6, the DEBUG
mode LED series will be as follows:
• Pair 1-2 will flash green-green as a good pair
• Pair 3-6 will flash green on the pair LED followed by a red on the
SHORT LED
• Pair 4-5 will flash green-green as a good pair
• Pair 7-8 will flash green-green as a good pair

Nota: Aunque el TT64200 está equipado con tomas de enchufe modulares
de 8 posiciones, también pueden probarse conectores más pequeños de 6
posiciones y 4 posiciones. El usuario debe tener presente que el empleo de
conectores pequeños reducirá la cantidad total de inserciones de la toma
durante la vida útil del producto.

INDICADoRES DE FAllA
Una luz indicadora (LED) destellante indica que este par de
cables tiene una falla. Una luz indicadora destellante en la sección
FAIL (FALLA) indica la avería que se detectó. Si hay varias luces
indicadoras destellantes quiere decir que hay varios pares y/o fallas
diversas. Lo mejor es corregir las fallas de cables hasta que se
verifique que los cables están correctos con las luces indicadoras
verdes (LED) adecuadas.
• ABIERTo – No hay indicación de luz indicadora de "OPEN" (abierto).
Un cable típico puede tener 2, 3 ó 4 pares. Los ABIERTOS aparecen
con una luz indicadora (LED) apagada. El usuario determinará si
hay un par presente y continuo o ABIERTO al comparar las luces
indicadoras (LED) iluminadas con el número previsto de pares que
deben estar buenos. Por ejemplo, al probar un cable de 4 pares,
tres luces indicadoras iluminadas en el área PASS (PASA) indican la
presencia de una condición ABIERTA en uno de los pares.
• CoRToCIRCuITo – Existe un cortocircuito.
• CABlEADo INCoRRECTo – Indica la asignación indebida de pares de
cables individuales a patillas para los esquemas de cableado probados. El
probador revisa configuraciones T568A, T568B, 10Base-T y Token Ring.
