Kullanım Talimatları

The CT200 provides intuitive testing for a wide range of cables. Follow these steps for effective cable analysis:

1. Cable Test Mode

• Set the MODE switch to "CABLE TESTER".
• Connect one end of the cable to an "INPUT" port and the other end to an "OUTPUT" port.
• The LED display will show the continuity of each pin. A lit LED indicates a good connection.
• The device checks for crossed wires, shorted connections, open circuits, and intermittent contacts.
• For cables with multiple pins (e.g., XLR), the display will show the connection status for each pin (Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 3, Tip, Ring, Sleeve).
• If an issue is detected, the corresponding "CROSSED", "SHORTED", "OPEN", or "INTERMITTENT" LED will illuminate.

2. Test Tonu Modu

• Set the MODE switch to "TEST TONE/PHANTOM".
• Select the desired tone level using the "TONE LEVEL" switch (+4 dBu, -10 dBV, or -50 dBV/MIC).
• Connect the cable to the appropriate output port (e.g., XLR OUT, 1/4" OUT).
• The CT200 will generate a test tone, which can be used to trace signals through a sound system or confirm signal flow.

3. Phantom Power and Ground-Shield Check

• In "TEST TONE/PHANTOM" mode, the device can also check for phantom power presence and ground-shield integrity.
• Connect an XLR cable to the XLR input. The "PHANTOM" LED will light up if phantom power is detected.
• The "GND/SHIELD PASS" LED indicates proper grounding.

4. Supported Connectors

The CT200 supports a wide array of connectors, making it an indispensable tool for audio professionals and enthusiasts:

• XLR (3 pimli)
• Speakon (4-pin)
• TRS (1/4" and 1/8")
• RCA
• RJ45 (Ethernet)
• MIDI (5-pin DIN)
• USB (Type A and B)

Bakım

• Temizlik: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the CT200. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Pil Değişimi: Replace batteries when the display dims or the device behaves erratically. Always use fresh AA batteries.
• Depolamak: Cihazı serin, kuru ve doğrudan güneş ışığından ve aşırı sıcaklıklardan uzak bir yerde saklayın.
• Konektör Bakımı: Keep all input and output connectors free from dust and debris to ensure reliable connections and accurate readings.

Sorun giderme

• Güç Yok:
  • Pillerin doğru takılıp takılmadığını ve yeterli şarj seviyesine sahip olup olmadığını kontrol edin.
  • Güç anahtarının "AÇIK" konumunda olduğundan emin olun.
• Yanlış Okumalar:
  • Ensure cables are fully inserted into the correct input/output ports.
  • Clean connectors if they appear dirty or corroded.
  • Test with a known good cable to verify the tester's functionality.
• Intermittent Connection Indication:
  • If the "INTERMITTENT" LED lights up, gently flex the cable near the connectors while testing. This can help pinpoint loose or faulty internal connections.
  • This feature is particularly useful for diagnosing issues that are not constant breaks but occur under movement or stress.
• Phantom Power Not Detected:
  • Ensure the connected device is supplying phantom power.
  • Verify the XLR cable is functioning correctly with another test.
