1. הקדמה
ה Amprobe LAN-1 LAN Cable Tester is a diagnostic tool designed to identify and trace data cables and connectors. It helps detect common wiring issues such as shorts, miswirings, and open circuits in various cable types. This manual provides detailed instructions for the proper use, setup, and maintenance of your LAN-1 tester.
The LAN-1 evaluates most common cable types, including 10/100 base-T, 10 base-2, RJ45 modular, AT&T 258A, EIA/TIA 568A/568B, and Token Ring cables, as well as RJ45 and BNC connectors. It can test cables up to 300 meters long and uses LED indicators and an audible buzzer to signal cable status and errors.

5. התקנה
5.1 התקנת סוללה
The LAN-1 tester is powered by one 9V battery, which is typically pre-installed. If replacement is needed:
- ודא שהמכשיר כבוי.
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit.
- Remove the screw(s) securing the cover and carefully open it.
- Remove the old 9V battery and disconnect it from the terminals.
- Connect a new 9V battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- הכנס את הסוללה לתא והתקן את המכסה בחזרה, תוך אבטחתו בעזרת הבורג/ים.
The battery provides power for up to 20 hours of testing.
5.2 Connecting Cables for Testing
Before testing, ensure the cable is disconnected from any active network equipment.
- For patch cables (short cables not installed in walls): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 or BNC port on the main unit and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote terminator.
- For installed cables (e.g., wall plates, patch panels): Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 or BNC port on the main unit. Connect the remote terminator to the other end of the installed cable (e.g., at the wall plate in another room).
6. הוראות הפעלה
6.1 הפעלה/כיבוי
לחץ על הצהוב כּוֹחַ button to turn the device on. Press it again to turn the device off.
6.2 ביצוע בדיקה
Once the cable is connected, you can perform a test:
- הקש על מִבְחָן button to initiate a cable test.
- Automatic Scan (AUTO mode): הקש על AUTO button. The tester will automatically scan through each pin (1-8 and G) and display the results sequentially. This is suitable for quick checks.
- Manual Scan (MAN mode): הקש על אָדָם button. Each press of the אָדָם button will advance the test to the next pin, allowing for a detailed examination of each connection.
- פונקציית החזקה: הקש על לְהַחזִיק button to pause the current display of the pin-out indicator. Press it again to resume scanning.
6.3 Interpreting LED Indicators
The 18 red and green LEDs on the PIN-OUT INDICATOR provide visual feedback on the cable's status:
- נורית LED ירוקה: Indicates a correct connection for the corresponding pin.
- נורת LED אדומה: Indicates an error for the corresponding pin (e.g., open circuit, short circuit, miswiring).
- ללא LED: May indicate an open circuit or a broken wire for that pin.
- זמזם: An audible buzzer will sound when an error condition is detected, providing an additional alert.
The LEDs on the remote module will mirror the main unit's display for the corresponding pins, allowing for verification of end-to-end continuity.
6.4 בדיקת מצב הסוללה
הקש על BATT button to check the battery level. The BATT LED will illuminate if the battery has sufficient power. If the BATT LED does not light up or is dim, replace the 9V battery.
