Test-Um NT955 Series

The Validator-NT main unit is powered on by pressing the red power 

button.  When powering on, the unit will display a series of start up 

screens until the Start screen is reached, which contains the main menu.  

At the top of every screen the following information appears - The name 

of the screen being displayed “Start, Auto Test” etc., the current job 

name, the battery condition and the date/time from the internal clock. 

The Validator-NT always has a file open, which is the current file name 

that appears at the top of the screen, so that data can be saved in 

the event of auto-power down.  The last job opened will remain as the 

current job until changed even through on and off cycles.

The Start screen has five buttons: 

Auto Test, Manual Tests, Network 

Tests, Job Manager, Setup and Properties.  You can navigate between 

these buttons with the arrow keys that move from left to right on each 

row.

Selecting this button takes you to a menu of five functions used to work 

with existing jobs or create new jobs and test cables.  Test Results are 

automatically saved and can be downloaded to Plan-Um to document 

and archive the job.

Cable Test Schedule: Tests cables from a predefined job file or define-

as-you-go Cable Schedule using Pass/Fail criteria. 

Site Information and Contractor Information: View, edit or create this 

job information.  

Custom Cable Definitions:  View existing cable definitions and create 

or edit custom cables. 

Job Utilities: File utilities used to create or manipulate job files.

Select this button to test data, phone, or 2 wire cables without defining 

the job, cable name or type.  The specified test is run and the raw results 

displayed without pass or fail criteria being applied. Manual tests cannot 

be saved as Auto Tests can.
