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. This device was designed with the audio professional in mind. [. . . ] 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. In Test Tone mode, these jacks are the 1 kHz test tone OUTPUT jacks. 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. When this LED dims, battery replacement will be necessary. Tone Level: Adjusts the level of the 1 kHz test tone. The levels indicated by the knob are BALANCED levels. 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. The plugs utilized on these cables are represented on the CS1000. 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). To test a cable, connect the ends into their appropriate jack. 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. Move the Test Tone / Cable Test switch to Cable Test. Make sure the PWR LED lights indicating that the CS1000 is on and the battery is sufficient for testing. [. . . ] 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. Otherwise you may overdrive the mic preamps. If you are testing a Line Input on a mixer or signal processor, set the TONE LEVEL around 0 to +3 dB. [. . . ]
