In addition to testing ten different cable ends, it has a variable level 1 kHz Tone Generator for testing audio equipment, and a Phantom Power voltage and phase tester. Please take a moment and review this manual as it contains important information for proper operation of the CS1000. SPECIFICATIONS Scan rate: Test Tone frequency: Test Tone level: Tone output impedance; No. [. . . ] If you are connecting a cable with an unmatched amount of pins or electronic connections, plug the end with the MAXIMUM connections to this side. The XLR jacks on this side are also used for the Phantom Power VOLTAGE test. This side contains the following jacks: 1/4", Speak-on®, RCA, XLR Female, 1/8", XLR Male, 7- Pin MIDI, RJ11, and RJ45. LEFT PANEL The left hand side of the CS1000 contains the cable scanning RECEIVE jacks in Cable Test Mode. The XLR jacks on this side are also used for the Phantom Power Present test. The left panel contains the following jacks: Banana, 1/4" TRS, Speak-on®, RCA, XLR Female, 1/8" (3. 5mm) TRS, XLR Male, 7-pin MIDI, RJ11, and RJ45. TOP PANEL Battery 9 V: This is the cover for the 9 volt battery compartment. Test Tone / Cable Test Switch: Selects the operating mode of the CS1000 - Cable Test, Test Tone, Phantom Power test, or OFF. pwr LED: Indicates the CS1000 is in either Cable Test or Test Tone mode. This means the device being tested is receiving both positive and negative polarity signals. If you are testing an unbalanced device, with only the positive signal and ground, divide the amount shown in half. Signal LEDs: These 16 LEDs (8 on the Send side, 8 Receive) indicate several things: · In Cable Test mode the lit LED on the SEND side indicates a signal being sent on corresponding pin number, on the RECEIVE side the lit LED indicates which pin that signal is being received on. · When testing Phantom Power Voltage, the bottom five LEDs on the SEND side will indicate the Phantom Power voltage. · When testing Phantom Power Presence, LEDs number two and three on the RECEIVE side will light if voltage is present on both pins. 1 BATTERY 9 V 2+ 3- 1 2+ TEST TONE OFF CABLE TEST 3 2 2+ 1 3- pwr 1 1 2 3 4 1 3 2 TONE OUTPUT SIDE + = positive polarity - = negative polarity 1 = ground 4+ -10 0 2+ -20 +3 2 1 1 -30 dB +7 3- TONE LEVEL 1 2+ 32+ (NOTE: Levels indicated are BALANCED. ) 2+ 1 31 3 2 2 3 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 MADE IN USA RECEIVE LINE PHANTOM POWER PRESENT SEND LINE 1 2+ 34+ 5 6 7 1 2+ 34+ 5 6 1 2+ 34+ 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 >52 >42 >32 >21 >11 PHANTOM POWER VOLTAGE 5 2 CABLE SCANNING Testing Audio cables The most common (but certainly not all) types of professional audio cables are: Speaker cables, instrument cables, microphone cables, cassette, cd, and vcr/dvd player cables, headphone/earphone adapter cables, and computer sound card cables. They are: Banana, Speak-On®, 1/4", RCA, 1/8" (3. 5mm), and XLR. The remaining types of cables available for testing by the CS1000 are MIDI cables (both 5 and 7 pin), telephone cables (RJ11), and ethernet/CAT5 cables (RJ45). IMPORTANT: If you are testing a cable with more connections on one side than the other (ie: XLR to 1/4" unbalanced or a 1/4" TRS to dual 1/4" TS Insert cable), plug the end with the maximum number of connections on the SEND side. Make sure the PWR LED lights indicating that the CS1000 is on and the battery is sufficient for testing. The SEND LINE LED will light corresponding to the pin number sending the scan signal, and the RECEIVE LINE LED that corresponds to the pin number receiving the signal will light as the CS1000 proceeds to scan the connections of the cable. For example; if you connect a working XLR microphone cable to their corresponding jacks and move the switch to Cable Test, LEDs 1 and 1 will light, followed by 2 and 2, then 3 and 3. A Typical Cable Scan Chart is provided on page 5 of this manual showing which order the LEDs light when testing a few common cables. [. . . ] Connect a working cable to the CS1000 TONE OUTPUT SIDE (known as the RECEIVE side when in Cable Test mode), and move the TEST TONE / CABLE TEST switch to TEST TONE. Adjust the TONE LEVEL control for the appropriate signal output level. If you are testing a mixer's Microphone Input and thereby its mic preamps, you'll want to set the TONE LEVEL around -30 to -20 dB. If you are testing a Line Input on a mixer or signal processor, set the TONE LEVEL around 0 to +3 dB. [. . . ]
