    4 2. Introduction the triplett wiremaster mapper is an 8-way cable mapping kit, with built-in continuity beeper, and 120vac line cross protection. The main unit and the remotes allow the user to attach to a vari- ety of different cables or outlets. Included in the ‘mapper’ is a tone generator that a...

    11 note: the wiremaster mapper does not test for reversed polarity dc voltages. If reversed polarity dc is present, the wiremaster mapper will not properly detect a remote. If you suspect reversed polarity dc voltage is present, use the bnc to clip lead adaptor to connect to the suspect wires, rever...

If upon connecting the wiremaster mapper to a cable, the open led remains lit, the cable may not have a remote at its opposite end, an o...

    13 the wiremaster mapper is equipped with the necessary adaptors and remotes to test cables with bnc, f, and rj11/rj45 connec- tors. It also includes clip lead adapters to allow any pair of wires to be tested. Additionally, almost any off-the-shelf bnc adaptor can be used with the wiremaster mapper....

    16 the wiremaster mapper performs its id test using only the cen- ter two conductors of the rj connector. The open and short / continuity tests are only performed on these conductors. Other wires in the cable may have opens or shorts, and the wiremaster mapper will not detect them. Intermittent conn...
