4.2 ჩართვა/გამორთვა
Press and hold the power button on each unit to turn it on or off. The main unit features a color LCD display, while the receiver has LED indicators.
5. საოპერაციო ინსტრუქციები
The NF-8518 offers various testing modes accessible via the main unit's menu. Use the navigation buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right, OK) to select functions.
5.1 Cable Tracking (SCAN/TEST)
This function helps locate target cables within bundles. Connect the cable to be traced to the main unit's SCAN/CONT port. Select the 'TEST' or 'SCAN' function from the menu. Use the receiver to scan the cables; it will emit audible beeps and show visual signals when near the target cable. Adjust sensitivity for precise localization.

5.2 Cable Continuity Testing (CONT)
This function checks for short circuits, open circuits, and crossovers in network cables. Connect one end of the cable to the main unit's SCAN/CONT port and the other end to the receiver's RJ45 port. Select 'CONT' from the menu. The display will show the wiring status, indicating any faults.

5.3 Port Flashing (FLASH)
To quickly identify a network port on a switch or router, connect the cable to the transmitter's 'Length/Flash' port. Select the 'Flash' function from the main menu. The indicator light on the corresponding port of the network device will blink, allowing for easy identification. This function supports 10M/100M/1000M speeds.

5.4 Cable Length Measurement (LENGTH)
Measure the length of network cables, telephone lines, and BNC cables. Connect one end of the cable to the main unit's 'Length/Flash' port. Select the 'Length' function and initiate the test. The device will display the cable length and identify any breaks within a 200-meter range.
