3. Podešavanje

3.1 Instalacija baterije

Both the Transmitter and Receiver units require a 6F22/9V battery each (not included). To install:

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of each unit (refer to Figure 2.5).
2. Otvorite poklopac baterije povlačenjem ili odvrtanjem.
3. Insert a new 6F22/9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Čvrsto zatvorite poklopac baterije.

3.2 Kablovi za povezivanje

Connect the cable to be tested to the appropriate port on the Transmitter unit:

• For network cables, use the RJ45 port.
• For telephone lines, use the RJ11 port.
• For other metal wires, use an appropriate adapter connected to the BNC interface (if applicable) or directly to the test clips.

4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

4.1 Praćenje žice

This function allows you to quickly locate specific wire pairs among multiple cables.

1. Connect the cable to be traced to the Transmitter's RJ45 or RJ11 port.
2. Turn the Function Knob on the Transmitter to the 'SCAN' position.
3. Uključite prijemnu jedinicu.
4. Use the Receiver's probe to scan the cables. The Receiver will emit an audible tone, which will be strongest when near the target cable.
5. Adjust the sound volume on the Receiver as needed.

4.2 Network Cable Collation (RJ45)

Ova funkcija testira status fizičke veze mrežnih kablova.

1. Connect one end of the network cable to the Transmitter's RJ45 port and the other end to the Receiver's RJ45 port.
2. Turn the Function Knob on the Transmitter to the 'TEST' position.
3. Observe the Wire Sequence Indicator LEDs on both the Transmitter and Receiver.
4. The LEDs will light up in sequence, indicating the status of each wire.
5. Interpret the results:
   • Otvoreno kolo: An LED on one unit lights up, but the corresponding LED on the other unit does not.
   • Short Connection: Multiple LEDs light up simultaneously or in an incorrect sequence.
   • Miswire/Reverse Connection: LEDs light up, but in an incorrect order between the two units.

4.3 Test linijskog nivoa, pozitivnog i negativnog polariteta

Use the Transmitter unit only to test the line level and polarity of a circuit.

1. Connect the test leads from the Transmitter to the circuit points you wish to test.
2. Turn the Function Knob to the appropriate setting for line level/polarity test (refer to the Transmitter's markings).
3. Observe the indicators on the Transmitter to determine the line level and polarity.

4.4 Status testa telefonske linije

Use the Transmitter unit only to test the operational status of telephone lines.

1. Connect the Transmitter to the telephone line via the RJ11 port.
2. Turn the Function Knob to the 'TELEPHONE' or equivalent setting.
3. The Transmitter will indicate the line status (e.g., ringing, busy, idle).

4.5 Provjera kontinuiteta

This instrument can check the continuity of a circuit.

1. Connect the test leads from the Transmitter to the two points of the circuit you want to check for continuity.
2. Turn the Function Knob to the 'CONT' or 'CONTINUITY' setting.
3. A positive indication (e.g., an LED lighting up or an audible tone) signifies continuity.

4.6 Low Battery Capacity Indication

When the battery capacity is low, a dedicated indicator light on the unit will illuminate, signaling that the batteries need to be replaced soon to ensure accurate operation.

5. Održavanje

5.1 Čišćenje

Obrišite uređaj mekom, suhom krpom. Ne koristite abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje ili rastvarače, jer mogu oštetiti casing ili unutrašnjih komponenti.

5.2 Skladištenje

Store the Bside FWT81 Cable Tracker in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

5.3 Zamjena baterije

Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator illuminates to ensure consistent performance and accurate readings. Refer to Section 3.1 for battery installation instructions.

6. Otkrivanje problema

• Uređaj se ne uključuje: Provjerite jesu li baterije ispravno instalirane i dovoljno napunjene. Po potrebi zamijenite baterije.
• Nema signala tokom praćenja žice: Ensure the Transmitter is set to 'SCAN' mode and the Receiver is turned on. Verify the cable connection to the Transmitter. Check battery levels.
• Incorrect network cable collation results: Ensure both ends of the network cable are securely connected to the Transmitter and Receiver. Verify the cable is not damaged.
• Smetnje tokom rada: The FWT81 has anti-interference enhancement. However, strong electromagnetic fields nearby can still affect results. Try to operate in a less noisy environment.
