Install Instructions

Step 1

Install tester onto one end of the completed cable

assembly. This tester can test through most CATV splitters.

Step 2

Install terminator provided with tester on the other end of

the cable assembly. Different colored remotes can be

installed throughout the building to test multiple cables

through a splitter.

Step 3

Push the “Test” button. Tester will indicate if the cable is

“good”, “shorted”, or “open”. Refer to tester instructions

for a complete instruction guide or call IDEAL Customer

Service at 800-947-3614.

Step 4

Cut excess center conductor off, leaving

/8" of the center

conductor showing beyond the end of the connector.

Step 5

Check your work! Visually inspect the connection.

Make sure that there is no stray braiding showing and the

connector is uniformly crimped. Is the F-connector securely

on the cable? Try pulling it off.

TEST

Testing of coaxial cable generally consists of checking for

opens or shorts in the cable. Use the IDEAL MiniTracker

Tester (62-202) to test for opens or shorts in the cables

terminated with F-connectors. This tester can be used

through a standard splitter or individual runs of cable and

also to trace cable for identifying cable runs.
