hazards and unsafe practices related to the use of this tool. Observe all of the safety
information provided.
Purpose of this Manual
This manual is intended to familiarize all personnel with the safe operation and
maintenance procedures for the Tempo Communications PA1594.
Keep this manual available to all personnel. Replacement manuals are available upon
request at no charge at www.TempoCom.com.
Important Safety Information
Electric shock hazard:
• Before using the tester, disconnect the cable to be tested from
any device.
• Contact with live circuits could result in severe injury or death.
Features
• Tests UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), STP (Shielded Twisted Pair), and coaxial cable.
• Checks continuity and configuration of wiring with RJ45 plugs.
• Tests for open circuits, shorts, miswires, reversals, and split pairs.
• Shield detection tests a cable’s shield integrity.
• Debug mode quickly identifies which cable pairs have a specific wiring fault.
• Main unit and Remote unit allow one person to test T568A, T568B, 10Base-T, and
Token Ring cables.
• Main unit is powered by two 1.5 V (AAA) batteries; Remote unit does not need
battery.
• Low battery indication.
Setup
To separate the two units, hold
the Main unit in one hand and
the Remote unit in the other.

Typical Faults
For straight-through cable or crossover cable tests, the tester has two operating
modes: Test mode and Debug mode.
In Test mode, a flashing pair of LEDs indicates that this wire pair has a fault while a
fault indicator LED lights up to indicate which fault was detected. Multiple flashing
pair LEDs indicate multiple pairs and/or multiple faults. In this situation, use the
Debug mode to diagnose the faults in more detail. Correct the faults until the cable is
verified to be correct by using the tester.
Refer to the “Fault Details” section on the last page of this manual.
Note: For some types of cables, so called OPEN is not an abnormal condition.
Therefore, there is no OPEN indicator LED. Open can be identified as an unlit pair or
shield LED when the tester shows the test result. The user should determine if a wire
is present and continuous or OPEN by comparing the illuminated pair and/or shield
LEDs with the expected number of wires (of the cable) that should be good.
During test, if the LOW BATT LED lights up, the batteries in the Main unit are low. To
avoid questionable test results, replace the batteries immediately.

Testing a Straight-through Cable
Test Mode
1. Connect the Main unit to one end of the cable to be tested and the Remote unit
to the other end of this cable.
2. Set the mode selector switch to the Standard position.
3. Press the TEST button and then release it. The tester starts testing the cable.
The five green LEDs flash one time sequentially from top to bottom, and then the
tester shows the test result—flashing LED indicates this pair has a fault while
fault indicator LED lights up to indicate the type of fault.
4. The test lasts about 12 seconds, and then the tester turns off automatically.
Press the TEST button to stop the test manually at any time. Pressing the TEST
button turns the tester off.
Example for Test mode: The cable fault is a SHORT on pair 1-2 and pair 3-6.
After the five green LEDs flash one time sequentially from top to bottom, the tester
displays the following test results simultaneously:
• Pair 1-2 LED and pair 3-6 LED flash green while the SHORT LED lights red.
• Pair 4-5 LED lights green indicating a good pair.
• Pair 7-8 LED lights green indicating a good pair.
Debug Mode
The Debug mode identifies which cable pairs have a wiring fault. The unit cycles
through pairs, displaying a test result one pair at a time. A fault is indicated by
simultaneously lighting a pair of LEDs and the fault indicator.
1. Set the mode selector switch to the Standard position. Then press and hold the
TEST button until all LEDs light; release the button.
2. The pair LEDs and the fault indicator LEDs work together to identify which pair is
incorrect.
a. If a pair LED flashes two times in series (one short and one long) while no
fault indicator LED lights, the pair is wired correctly.
b. If a pair has fault(s), its pair LED will give a short flash. Then this pair LED,
other pair LEDs related to this pair’s fault(s), and the fault indicator LED(s) will
give a long flash simultaneously.
c. If a pair LED gives only a short flash that is not followed by a long flash, this
pair has an OPEN fault.
3. After the Debug function cycles four times through the pairs, the tester turns
off automatically. Press the TEST button to stop the test manually at any time.
Pressing the TEST button turns the tester off.
Example for Debug mode: The cable fault is a SHORT on pair 1-2 and pair 3-6.
The Debug mode LED series will be as follows:
• Pair 1-2 LED gives a short flash and then pair 1-2 LED, pair 3-6 LED, and the
SHORT red LED give a long flash simultaneously.
• Pair 3-6 LED gives a short flash and then pair 3-6 LED, pair 1-2 LED, and the
SHORT red LED give a long flash simultaneously.
• Pair 4-5 LED flashes two times in series while no fault indicator LED lights. This
indicates that this pair is wired correctly.
• Pair 7-8 LED flashes two times in series while no fault indicator LED lights. This
indicates that this pair is wired correctly.
Testing a Crossover Cable
The method of testing crossover cable is almost the same as testing straight-through
cable. The only difference is that the mode selector switch is in Cross Cable position
to test crossover cable instead of the Standard position for straight-through cable.
Refer to the “Testing a Straight-through Cable” section and set the mode selector
switch to the Cross Cable position to test crossover cable.

Crossover Cable Wiring
Testing Coaxial Cable
Note: For coaxial cable tests, the mode selector switch can be in any function
position.
1. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to be tested to the BNC socket of the Main
unit and the other end of the coaxial cable to the BNC socket of the Remote unit.
Note: The terminators on the cable to be tested should match the BNC sockets
of the tester.
2. Press the TEST button and then release it. The five green LEDs of the Main unit
will flash one time sequentially from top to bottom, and then the tester shows the
test result:
• If the SHIELD/COAX LED lights green, the coaxial cable has no fault.
• If the SHIELD/COAX LED does not light, the cable is faulty.
Note: Refer to “Testing Examples” on the last page of this manual for reference on
how to test the continuity of RCA, BNC, and Cable TV “F” cables.
