• Přihrádka na baterie: Houses 2 AAA batteries.

4.2. Remote Unit

• Port RJ45: For connecting the other end of an Ethernet cable.
• Port RJ11: For connecting the other end of a telephone cable.
• LED Indicators (1-8, G): Mirror the master unit's display for remote testing.

5. Nastavení

5.1. Instalace baterie

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the Master Unit.
2. Otevřete kryt přihrádky.
3. Vložte dvě (2) baterie typu AAA a dbejte na správnou polaritu (+/-).
4. Bezpečně zavřete kryt bateriového prostoru.

5.2. Connecting Cables for Testing

Before testing, ensure the cable is disconnected from all active network devices.

1. For standard cable testing, connect one end of the network (RJ45) or telephone (RJ11) cable to the corresponding port on the Master Unit.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding port on the Remote Unit.
3. For testing installed wall ports or long runs, detach the Remote Unit from the Master Unit. Connect one end of the cable to the Master Unit and the other end to the Remote Unit at the distant location.

6. Návod k obsluze

6.1. Basic Cable Testing

1. Ensure batteries are installed and cables are connected as described in Section 5.2.
2. Slide the power switch on the Master Unit to either the RYCHLE or POMALÝ pozice.
3. Observe the LED indicators on both the Master and Remote Units. The lights will sequentially illuminate from 1 to 8, and then 'G' (for ground/shielding).
4. Compare the sequence and illumination patterns on both units to identify any wiring faults (refer to Section 7 for interpretation).
5. Once testing is complete, slide the switch to the VYPNUTO position to conserve battery life.

6.2. Fast/Slow Scan Mode

The OFF/FAST/SLOW switch allows you to adjust the speed at which the LED indicators illuminate:

• RYCHLE: For quick checks and general continuity testing.
• POMALÝ: For more detailed observation of the LED sequence, useful for identifying subtle miswiring or intermittent issues.

6.3. Split-Type Testing for Long Runs

The detachable design of the HT812A allows for testing cables installed over long distances or through walls:

1. Separate the Remote Unit from the Master Unit.
2. Connect one end of the cable to the Master Unit.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the Remote Unit at the distant location (e.g., another room, patch panel).
4. Proceed with testing as described in Section 6.1.

6.4. Shielded/Unshielded Cable Detection

The 'G' LED indicator on both units provides information about the cable's shielding:

• If the 'G' light illuminates, the cable is likely shielded (STP/FTP) and the shield is properly connected.
• If the 'G' light does not illuminate, the cable is unshielded (UTP) or the shield connection is faulty.

6.5. PoE Cable Testing

The HT812A is designed to safely test cables connected to Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices, routers, or PCs, with a withstand voltage of up to 60V. This prevents damage to the tester or connected equipment during testing.

7. Interpreting Test Results

The LED indicators on both the Master and Remote Units provide visual feedback on the cable's status. Observe the sequence and patterns to diagnose faults.

7.1. Good Connection (Pass)

All LEDs (1-8, G) on both the Master and Remote Units illuminate sequentially and in the same order, indicating a correctly wired and continuous cable.

7.2. Open Circuit (Open Wire)

If an LED on either the Master or Remote Unit fails to light up in sequence, it indicates an open circuit (broken wire) for that specific pin. For example, if Master LED #3 lights but Remote LED #3 does not, pin 3 is open.

7.3. Zkrat

If two or more LEDs illuminate simultaneously or dimly on either unit, it indicates a short circuit between those wires. For example, if Master LEDs #2 and #4 light dimly at the same time, pins 2 and 4 are shorted.

7.4. Miswire (Cross-Over, Split Pair)

If the LEDs on the Master Unit illuminate in a different sequence than the LEDs on the Remote Unit, it indicates a miswiring. This includes cross-over cables (where transmit and receive pairs are swapped) or split pairs (where wires within a pair are incorrectly terminated).

8. Údržba

• Čištění: Zařízení otřete měkkým, suchým hadříkem. Nepoužívejte abrazivní čisticí prostředky ani rozpouštědla.
• Skladování: Tester skladujte na chladném a suchém místě mimo dosah přímého slunečního záření a extrémních teplot.
• Výměna baterie: If the LED indicators become dim or the tester does not power on, replace the AAA batteries. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
• Vyhněte se vlhkosti: Do not expose the tester to water or high humidity.

9. Řešení problémů

• Tester se nezapne: Zkontrolujte instalaci baterií a ujistěte se, že jsou nové.
• No LEDs light up during test: Verify that the cable is properly connected to both the Master and Remote Units. Ensure the power switch is in the FAST or SLOW position.
• Inconsistent LED patterns: Re-seat the cable connectors. If the issue persists, the cable may have an intermittent fault or be severely damaged.
• Remote Unit LEDs do not match Master Unit: This indicates a fault in the cable. Refer to Section 7 for specific fault interpretations.
