1. Introduction By purchasing the installation tester IE-CT you have decided to opt for an easy and professional piece of test equipment that is easy to use. This tester is designed for quick and reliable recognition of installation faults in data and telecommunication wiring. IE-CT includes two devices – IE-CT Mainframe and IE-CT Test Box. The number of conductors of the cable installation and the pin assignment can be set individually.
3. Features • Recognition and display of the most frequent installation errors: short circuit, line/wire interrupt, line/wire mistakes, split pair • Self test function and intermittent contact test • Error display for each conductor by eight red conductor LED’s and one red LED for the shield (F). • Display of no error by green LED (G). • One key for ON, OFF and start of the test operation (D). • Separate Step Key (H) to display list of multiple errors.
4. Startup Procedure Before operation put in the 9 V block battery first. 1. Unscrew the two screws on the bottom of the unit and take this part away. You will find the battery case with the connector clip for the battery. 2. Press the clip on to the battery and put the battery into the battery case. Should the battery be contacted with the wrong polarity the IE-CT will not be damaged. 3. Close the lid and fasten the screws.
5. Operation 5.1 Connection to Test Installation Lines To test an installed line plug one end of the installation line to the IE-CT Mainframe and the other end to the IE-CT Test Box. To do a simultaneous line identification plug one IE-CT Test Box to each termination to be tested (max. 9 Test Boxes, available as accessories). Installation Lines Patch Panel Wall Outlets IE-CT Test Boxes IE-CT Mainframe 5.
5.3 Switch on and Test Terminate IE-CT Mainframe and IE-CT Test Box, then start the installation test and line identification as shown below. % Press the Start Key (D) to turn on the IE-CT Mainframe. press Start Key # During the test run, the green LED (G) flashes. The test is finished when the green LED stops flashing. The green LED flashes $ The green LED (G) lights without interruption if no errors were detected, the installation is OK.
& After the last error is displayed a flashing digit is shown in the numeric display (B). This digit stands for the number of the connected Test Box. ' If you press the Step Key (H) again as long as the Test Box number is flashing, the error list is shown a second time, see item !. ( For repeated testing continue as described under item %. The IE-CT Mainframe can be turned off at any time by pressing the Start Key. 5.
5.6 Extraneous Voltage (Error Code 1) The IE-CT resists to extraneous voltages (short time up to 100 V). If extraneous voltages should appear in the installation the IE-CT can show their polarity and the respective conductor. The positive pole of an extraneous voltage is displayed by continuous lighting, and the negative pole is displayed by flashing of the respective conductor LED (F). If an extraneous voltage is detected in an installation the test run is finished.
5.10 Wrong Wiring (Error Code 5) If the IE-CT detects wrong termintated conductors in an installation or cable the conductor LED (F) for the respective conductors always light in pairs. The conductor LED for the terminal pole at the near end of the installation line lights continuously, the conductor LED for the terminal pole at the far end is flashing. IE-CT Mainframe near end of Installation line Installation line far end of Installation line IE-CT Test Box In our example two errors are detected: 1.
5.11 Switch Setting (Error Code 6) If the Selection Switches are not correctly set (C) on the IE-CT Mainframe, i. e. if the installation has more conductors than selected, the IE-CT Mainframe will recognize this. If connected conductors have been separated with the Selection Switches, the respective red conductor LED (F) will light. The error code for wrong switch setting is digit 6. 5.12 Battery (Error Code 7) If the battery power is too low the IE-CT Mainframe will show this in the numeric display (B).

7. Intermittent contact If you are operating a termination unit such as wall outlet, cable or adaptor where you supect an intermittent contact, IE-CT will help you to detect this error. Intermittent contact detection requires constant checking of the connections when the termination unit is moving. IE-CT offers an additional operation mode. Terminate the unit to be tested between the IE-CT Mainframe and one of the Test Boxes (see chapter 6.2) to check for intermittent contact.
