Overview

Industry economics require that installations be done fast and accurately with little to no callbacks. And converging voice, data, and video technologies as well as the ever growing “Internet of Things” has given rise to new requirements for service testing and multimedia support.

The MicroScanner™ Series acknowledges these growing trends and streamlines every aspect of the verification job. From its time-saving user interface and integrated multimedia support to its expanded service detection capabilities, MicroScanner2 and MicroScanner PoE give technicians the power to perform their jobs faster and more accurately than ever.

Troubleshoot PoE based systems

The MicroScanner PoE makes testing your PoE based communication cabling fast, easy, and clear. The tester reports the maximum power class the switch can provide under 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt specifications and displays the 802.3 PoE class (0-8) or the voltage from passive PoE sources. This allows technicians to verify the exact issues that may be affecting a PoE based installation. The MicroScanner PoE also provides information on available services up to 10G Ethernet ensuring that your network is capable of performing to your needs.

Verify cables and connections

Today’s communications technicians have more problems to deal with than just the cabling. They have to rule out a whole host of cable and service issues before determining the cause of a connectivity problem. Where is the cable broken? Are all the wires properly terminated? Is there a switch at the far end? Is PoE available? MicroScanner2 and MicroScanner PoE provides technicians the vision to verify today’s most common voice, data, and video services.

Reduce test time and user error

Yesterday’s cable verification testers force users to toggle between different modes (up to four) to view all test results. This not only slows the test process, but also causes user frustration and error. MicroScanner Series has defied this convention by displaying key test results – wiremap, pair lengths, distance to fault, cable ID, and far-end devices – all on one screen.

Locate elusive cables in seconds

The MicroScanner Series features built-in IntelliTone™ digital and analog toning to precisely locate virtually any cable or wire pair, regardless of work environment. Use digital mode to locate high-grade data cabling (Cat 5e/6/6A) in bundles, or at switches, patch panels, or wall outlets. Or, use analog mode on voice-grade cabling (Cat 3 and below), as well as coax (MicroScanner2 only), security/alarm, and speaker wiring.

Repair or replace tools less often

With all the abuse you put your tools through, you can’t afford for them to be delicate. The MicroScanner Series features a rubber wrap-around holster that makes it the right tool for even the toughest jobs. Toss it into your toolbox. Drop it from a ladder. It can handle it. It even comes standard with a vinyl carry pouch for enhanced protection and convenience. The optional MAG-KIT (included with selected models noted below) provides a powerful magnetized strap that lets you hang your MicroScanner from racks, cable trays or organizers.

Copper Technician Kits

MS-POE-KIT

The MicroScanner™ PoE tester displays the available PoE class (0-8) from 802.3at, .3af and .3bt devices, the voltage from passive PoE sources, available services (up to 10G Ethernet), cable length, wiremap, and distance to fault are all shown. This kit also includes the IntelliTone Pro 200 probe using a digital tone to trace active data cables, six remote identifiers used to locate which cable is being tested, and a magnetic hanging strap to hang your tester from any nearby magnetic surface or from a hook.

MS2-KIT

The MicroScanner2 Cable Verifier displays graphical wiremap, pair lengths, distance to fault, and far end device. This kit also includes the IntelliTone™ Pro 200 probe, six remote identifiers, and a magnetic hanging strap.

MS2-TTK

MicroScanner2 Termination Test Kit includes MicroScanner2 Cable Verifier, IntelliTone Pro 200 probe, a magnetic hanging strap, and the IS60 Installation and Termination tool set.

Copper and Fiber Basic Technician's Kit

MS2-FTK

As project requirements grow to include both copper and fiber cabling, the Copper and Fiber Basic Technician's Kit (MS2-FTK) provides the right set of tools to manage your network and keep it running smoothly. Along with the features of the MicroScanner2, the MS2-FTK provides the fiber testing instruments needed to: Quickly verify optical loss and power levels with single-port simultaneous dual wavelength testing over six wavelengths (850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550, 1625 nm)

• Conduct efficient cable routing identification with SimpliFiber Pro’s FindFiber® capability
• Save up to 1000 test results and upload and manage them on your personal computer via Fluke Networks’ popular LinkWare Cable Test Management Software
• Track intermittent power fluctuations with the Min/Max feature
