pin termination on each end, continuity to OMNI
Remote
, 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 OMNI
Scanner
icon on the left side indicates the wiring at the OMNI
end of the cable link.
The OMNI
Remote
icon on the right side indicates the wiring at the OMNI-
Remote
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
OMNI
Scanner
.
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 OMNI
