Initial Startup KE7200 The instrument is powered by 4× 1.5 V (AA, LR6, alkaline/mignon) batteries (not included with the instrument). Before inserting the batteries, disconnect all test cords and switch off the instrument. Only use batteries according to the specification. The battery compartment is located on the back of the instrument. First loosen the two lower screws of the edge protector (Philips screwdriver required). Remove the edge protector by pulling it downwards. Insert the batteries.
KE7200 Settings All device settings are made in the menu Settings > Instrument Settings. The possible operating steps are displayed in the respective menu in the lower status line. They are preset to empirical values; there is also a Reset to Factory Settings function if something does not work as intended when creating cable or wiring functions. > Language: Either German (default) or English. > Unit of Measure: m (meter) or ft (foot).
Test/Measurement Settings In order to perform all tests/measurements correctly, you need to make basic test settings. In the Settings menu, you can select the Wiring Type for the test/measurement, select the Speed (VF factor) for the TDR function, define the Cable Type, and specify the IP Address of the KE7200.
Settings > Cable Various frequently used cable types are predefined here (for a list, see page 14). The cable to be tested/measured is selected from the list of different cables. The name and the corresponding VF value are assigned to the respective cable type (see page 14). The cable type name appears in the stored or printed result. In contrast, the VF value is needed for the TDR function. You can also add to and change the predefined cable types (see page 14).

> MAC Address The KE7200 is shipped with a predefined MAC address. In order to work in networks with MAC address verification, the address can be freely defined here. Settings > IP Address The IP address of the KE7200 is set here. This address is always used as device address, including for an IP test, such as as static network address. It can be changed at any time. Simply use the ▲ and ▼ / ◄ and ► keys to set the address and save it with SEL.
Test Execution Up to 32 KE7010 remote units can be connected simultaneously to the ports to be measured using the included patch cables. If only one KE7010 is used, it must be taken to the next port after the test has been completed. If an assistant is involved, he can detect whether the test resulted in any errors by the flashing rhythm of the LED after the test has been completed. If no error has been detected (slow flashing every 1 second), he can proceed to the next port.
Storing Data After the measurement has been completed, it can either be exited with ESC, or the Save Data menu can be opened by pressing the SEL key. The predefined name of the measurement – Default – followed by a number is displayed here. If the data is to be assignable later, you will need to enter a unique name here. We recommend customer names or a number. The entry is made by pressing the ▲ or ▼ keys, which allows scrolling through the alphabet and the numbers from 0-9.
PoE/PoE++ Test (according to IEEE802.3af/at/bt) (Ethernet cable only) Connect the KE7200 to the network. Start the test with the SEL key. The KE7200 activates the PoE port and outputs the corresponding information in the display regarding whether PoE/PoE+/ PoE++ is present or not. The PoE standards are displayed according to the expected nominal voltages. PoE/PoE++ Test Higher voltages (fault conditions) can damAlternative A+B age the instrument and pose a potential Line voltage: 57.
• IP of the DHCP server • IP of the router Press the SEL key to save this data. It may happen that not all computers in a network will always respond within the query time of the test device, as they may be occupied with other tasks. This is due to the system-specific nature and does not represent an error. The query can be repeated as often as desired. The subscriber list is opened with ESC.
Data Transmission and Management of Measurements and Log Generation with KE7200 Manager PC Software The KE7200 Manager PC software is a flexible tool for configuring the KE7200 and for downloading test/measurement data from the measuring instrument.
The selection tabs on the top are the same for both displays.
> Load Data (PC) Tests/measurements that have already been saved can be opened for display here (.eth file). > Save All Data Here the data transferred by the KE7200 are selected for saving on the PC (.eth file). > Save Displayed Data Once the data has been selected, it is saved as a separate list (.eth file). > Delete Marked Line This deletes a complete line of test/measurement results. > Print Data A print version (log) of the measurements is created.
