Using the Platinum Tools T130K4 VDV MapMaster 3.0 Field Kit is a breeze. First, power it on using the 9V alkaline battery. To test cables, connect the appropriate adapters (RJ45, coax, etc.) to the tester and the cable you want to check. The tester will quickly analyze the cable according to T568A/B configurations. Check the backlit LCD screen for any signs of opens, shorts, or other issues. If you want to find the cable location on active ports, use the flashing Port Link Light feature. The audible tone generator with 4 selectable cadences can also help you trace cables. When measuring cable length, make sure the cable meets the minimum length requirements for accurate results. For split pair detection, the cable should be at least 1.5ft long. As for maintenance, keep the kit in its hard case when not in use to protect it from damage. Store it in a dry place within the recommended temperature range of - 4F - 140F. Check the battery regularly, as the low - battery icon will flash when the voltage falls below 6V. Replace the battery as needed to ensure continuous operation. And remember, this product comes with a 1 - year warranty, so if you run into any problems, reach out to the support team.
