Intended/Proper Use

The KE7200 is a network and LAN cable tester.

It is used for initial startup tests, for checking data and telecommunications networks, and for

troubleshooting. The results can be stored in the instrument or transferred to a PC. In the asso-

ciated PC software, the results can be documented and logs created.

The instrument is used in data and telecommunications networks (Ethernet/RJ-45 cables, coax-

ial cables/lines, telecommunications cables/lines) without external voltage. It is hooked up using

its RJ-45 socket and the supplied or optionally available accessories (see data sheet).

The KE7200 can be used to perform the following tests/measurements:

• Cable tests with error display:

Detection of reversed connections, short circuits, interruptions, overdrafts (split pairs; as of

2 m), testing of the data line assignment with pin and pair assignment (wire mapping), ca-

ble length measurement, and determination of the distance to the error with TDR function

• Network tests (Ethernet cable only):

IP test with listing of active network subscribers with name, IP address, and MAC address;

detection of network speed 10/100/1000 Mbit; ping test, including stress tests

• Power over Ethernet test (Ethernet cable only):

PoE/PoE++ test according to IEEE802.3af/at/bt

• Port nder function (Ethernet cable only):

Link blink function for identifying ports on routers/switches/hubs

• Search tone mode (Ethernet cable only):

Transmission of a search tone signal and identication of the associated network port via

tone detection with the P310*/P410** probe search signal receiver

• [With software option only] Branch detection

(coaxial cables/lines, telecommunications cables/lines only):

For precise localization (existence and distance) of branches/stub lines (bridge taps) in

telecommunications networks in buildings.

The external voltage protection of the KE7200 against accidentally applied external voltage is 60

V DC. The instrument emits a warning and displays whenever external voltage is present, and

tests can only be conducted after the external voltage has been eliminated.

Some measurements/tests require the KE7010 remote unit or the P310/P410 probe search sig-

nal receiver. For this reason, di󰀨erent instrument combinations are o󰀨ered (see scope of delivery

and data sheet).

The safety of the user and the instrument is only guaranteed during proper use.

** P410 included in KE7207 and KE7208; optional available for purchase separately
