One littel box and you can test up to ten different types of cable ends...

The CS1000 is a breakthrough in cable maintenance, signal testing market. It tests ten different types of cable. Each cable being tested has its pin out scanned for continuity as well as proper polarity. Plus, the unit features a 1 kHz Test Tone oscillator with a calibrated variable level control.

Phantom power voltage tester 

To test phantom power voltage, you will need to connect the XLR cable with the phantom power to be tested into either the male or female XLR jack on the right hand or SEND side of the unit. Set the switch to Cable Test. The voltage amount will be indicated by the PHANTOM POWER VOLTAGE LEDs. The flickering is normal. The actual voltage amount will be between the LED that’s lit and the one above it that is not lit. For example, if the 32 LED is lit and the 42 LED is not, the actual phantom power voltage is between 32 and 42 volts.

Phantom Power Phase For proper phantom power operation, both pins 2 and 3 should have power present. To ensure that both pins have power, connect the cable with the phantom power to the XLR jacks on the left hand or RECEIVE side of the unit. Set the switch to Cable Test. If none or only one of the PHANTOM POWER PRESENT LEDs light, there is a problem with the cable or phantom power circuitry
