OMNISCANNER User Guide
6 - 2
For each of the 8 conductors and the Shield, Wiremap can indicate
proper pin termination on each end, continuity to OMNIREMOTE, shorts
between any two or more conductors, crossed pairs, reversed pairs,
split pairs, and any other miswiring. For each pair, Wiremap displays
the length. When a pair is faulty the length indicates the distance to
the fault from the OMNISCANNER end.
Wiremap Displays
The OMNISCANNER icon on the left side indicates the wiring at the OMNI
end of the cable link.
The OMNIREMOTE icon on the right side indicates the wiring at the
OMNIREMOTE end of the cable link.
CORRECT CONNECTIVITY:
The measured lengths of pairs 1-2, 3-6, 4-5, and
7-8 are shown on the left side of the Wiremap.
If the selected cable is shielded or screened,
shield continuity will be measured, and if the
shield fails the test, Wiremap will display the
error.
WIRE IS OPEN:
Wiremap checks the continuity of each wire.
In this example, there is no line between pin 5 at
each end, which indicates a break in connection.
Use the number on the left side of the screen to
find the exact location of the open. For example
if 36ft is displayed, the open can be found 36ft
away from OMNISCANNER.
WIRES ARE SHORTED:
Wiremap finds shorts in the cable being tested.
In this example, the wiremap indicates that wires
4-5 are shorted. Use the number on the left side
of the screen to find the exact location of the
short. For example if 36ft is displayed, the short
can be found 36ft away from OMNISCANNER.
