CABLE TESTING
The MUTT
®
has a special cable feature to test 7 round pin cables for continuity. The
cable testing feature can be used to test a tractor’s cable or the supplied MUTT
®
cable.
It is recommended that all cables be tested prior to MUTT
®
operation.
TEST PROCEDURE
PRIOR TO CABLE TESTING:
To avoid erroneous fault, be certain the 7 pins in each plug are clean
and spread to the proper size.
• Insert each end of the cable into both side connectors on the MUTT
®
.
Be sure to push the cable ends in rmly until they reach the bottom of the
connector.
• Turn main power switch ON.
• Once the power is turned ON, the green lights around the Control Knob will
blink and disappear one at a time until only the Ground Integrity light remains
solid green. Once the initial check has been performed, poor cable conditions
will be shown by a blinking light for the problem circuit.
• If the cable has an open circuit or continuity problem, the corresponding circuit
ashes repeatedly.
• Further testing can be performed by selecting each circuit individually via the
Control Knob or Remote. When an open circuit is detected, the LED for the
circuit will ash and an audible alert will be heard.
NOTE: Always check the MUTT
®
connector pins at the side of the MUTT
®
for proper ex-
pansion. Over time the pins may bend in slightly resulting in a poor connection between
the connector and the cable ends. A at head screwdriver can be used to expand the
pins until the a tight connection is made.
