Remote-End Wire Map: The bottom line displays the
corresponding pin on the remote-end. Dash lines on
the remote line indicate short pins. No pin numbers
displayed on the remote line are open pairs.
Remote Location ID: In the ID mode, the “ID” icon will be
displayed with the number of the remote ID. If a
remote if in place and a fault in the cable is detected,
an error message of “Open” or “Short” is displayed.
Single-ended Testing: If a remote is not used as in a
“one-end” test, only shorts and splits will be
displayed if detected.
Voltage Detected Warning: If voltage is detected on any
of the tester connectors, the “Voltage!” icon appears.
For accurate testing results, unplug the cable from a
switch or router.
Video (Coax) Cables
Tests for shorts, opens and ID’s up to 20 unique remotes
(P/N TRK120) on the F-connector jack. Connect one end
of the coax cable to the F-connector jack on the top of the
tester. Connect the other end of the coax cable to the
F-connector jack on the master remote and press the test
key to scan for the remote ID. To measure the length of a
cable, DO NOT use a remote.
Voice (POTS) Cables
The Phone test behaves similarly to the Data cable test.
The VDV MapMaster™ 3.0 is designed to test twisted
pair phone cables; using it to test flat cable may result in
false “split” results. The VDV MapMaster™ 3.0 assumes
the 6-position jack on the main unit and the remote will be
used for connecting the tester to the cable run to be
tested.
This mode uses the 3-pair USOC standard to define the
pairs. Connector pins 1-6, 2-5 and 3-4 are the pairs de-
fined by this standard.

Note that this tester will not determine which end of a faulty
cable is mis-wired, reversed, or split.
Figure 4 - Shorts
If a split pair (Fig 5) is detected, those pin positions on the
first and second line will be flashing the pin numbers detected
from the remote and the “Split” icon will be flashing. If there
are multiple errors to display, there will be a combination of
the above error will appear.
Figure 5 - Split Pairs
The ID icon (Fig 6) will have a number directly to the right of
it, indicating the remote ID number.

Whenever the “TEL” or “DATA” icons are on, a new test is in
progress . In the coax mode, the “Open”, “Short” or “Pass”
icon will be appear to indicate the results of a test. If the cable
passes, the “ID” icon will be appear as well as a remote ID
number on the bottom line of the display. The “Coax” icon
appears when a test is in progress.
