The BK Precision Model 206 PC Cable Tester manual provides instructions for setting up and operating the device, including connecting a 9V battery and selecting the appropriate cable type for testing wire continuity, shorts, and opens. It also offers troubleshooting tips such as using the auto test mode for scanning cables and guidance on battery maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision Model 206 PC Cable Tester is designed to measure wire continuity in various cable types, including D-sub, BNC, Coax, RJ45/RJ11, USB, and 1394 (Firewire). The device identifies wiring configurations, shorts, and opens. For operation, connect the included 9V battery and attach the cable between the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE sides, ensuring the larger connector is on the TRANSMIT side unless testing a Centronics cable. Select the appropriate CABLE LED based on the cable type, then press the WIRE button to test continuity. The tester can auto-scan cables by holding the WIRE button for two seconds. The REVERSE button allows backward navigation through the test sequence. The device features a time-out function to conserve battery life, turning off LEDs after five minutes of inactivity. Maintenance is minimal, requiring only battery replacement and occasional cleaning with a damp cloth.
