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 allows the path of wires to be traced through
walls and ceilings when used with an optional Triplett Hound Wire
Tracer.
3. WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• The WireMaster Mapper is not intended for use as a voltage
detector. It only detects voltage in order to perform its intended
function, and to prevent accidental damage to the product. i.e.
while the WireMaster Mapper detects the presence of 120VAC, it
is not safe while doing so. The product and its connectors are not
appropriately insulated.
• In some situations, unconnected wires can “float up” to poten-
tially dangerous voltages and cause user injury. Treat any unknown
wires as having dangerous voltage present, and take the appro-
priate precautions.
• The overvoltage detection feature does not work with a low or
dead battery. Consequently, if the battery is low or dead, the
WireMaster Mapper will not warn the user that a potentially dan-
gerous voltage (i.e. 120VAC) is present. The WireMaster Mapper
is not intended for use as a voltage detector.

1000Hz
• Continuous Battery Test flashes LED in Tone mode
• Protected against damage up to 120 volts AC/DC (no fuse required)
• Minimum Cable Length: no minimum

less than 200 Ohms (see table for some common examples)
• Cables / Wires Tested: Any pair whose total DC resistance is less
than 200 Ohms, and is unconnected to other equipment or
circuitry
• Continuity: Continuity (SHORT) is indicated for resistances of
500 Ohms or less
• OPEN Test: OPEN is indicated for resistances of 10,000 Ohms
or more
• Battery: 9 volt
• Battery life: approx 20 hours continuous use (alkaline battery)
• Size
Main Unit: 2.45"W x 4.5"H
(to top of BNC)
x 1.25"T
(to top of switch)
Carrying Case: 5” (W) x 7.75” (L) x 2.5” (D)
• Weight
Main Unit (with battery): 4.7 oz.
Complete Kit: Approx. 1.25 lbs.

Note: The WireMaster Mapper will not map coaxial cables if any
of the following devices are in use:
• Amplifiers • Electronic Switches
• Attenuators • Matching Transformers
• Baluns • Modulators
• DC Blockers • Power Dividers
• Directional Taps • Splitters (non power passive)
Note: The WireMaster Mapper does not perform complete tests
of all conductors in a cable. Its function is to identify (map) a
cable, or to put a tracer signal on a cable. For example, it will
identify a LAN cable, but it will not determine if the LAN cable is
“good”.

6. GETTING STARTED
Installing / Replacing Battery
To install or replace the 9 volt battery, remove the single screw
from the back of the case. Gently remove the front of the case to
gain access to the battery compartment. Sometimes it helps to
press lightly on the numbered LEDs to remove the front. With the
front removed, install/replace battery. Replace front, aligning LEDs
in their respective holes, and replace screw.
Power Latch
The WireMaster Mapper Function switch incorporates a Power
Latch feature to prevent the product from accidentally being turned
on, which could result in a dead battery. Note that the Function
switch is locked into the OFF: OVERLOAD / VOLTAGE position. To
turn the product on, the UNLOCK button must be pressed, and
while the button is pressed, the Function switch is moved to the
CABLE MAP position, at which time the UNLOCK button may be
released. When the Function switch is returned to the OFF: OVER-
LOAD / VOLTAGE position, the switch will lock in this position,
requiring the user to once again press the UNLOCK button to turn
the product on.
Battery Test
Press the UNLOCK button and set the Function switch to the TONE
/ BATTERY TEST position. The green BATTERY TEST LED must
10
flash. If the BATTERY TEST LED does not flash, the battery should
be replaced. If it is weak, it may produce erroneous results in the
CABLE MAP mode.
Verifying Product Operation
After turning the product on, connect the provided BNC to BNC
adaptor to the BNC on the WireMaster Mapper. Experimentally
connect different numbered Remotes to the adaptor, noting that
the number on the Remote agrees with the LED that lights on the
WireMaster Mapper. In use, thousands of feet of wire may be
between the Remote and the WireMaster Mapper, and the Re-
mote will cause the appropriate LED to light.
7. DETAILED OPERATION
Identifying Cables (Mapping)
The WireMaster Mapper will not work if AC or DC voltage is
present. Some coaxial cables have AC or DC voltage on them to
operate amplifiers, preamplifiers, LNB’s, etc. Telephone wires that
are in service will have 5 to 50VDC on them. Power wires may
have 120VAC or more on them. Doorbell wires can have 10 to
40VAC on them.
The OFF: OVERLOAD / VOLTAGE test position of the Function
switch tests the connected cable for the presence of AC or DC
voltage.
