On-site PoE Power Measurement PPM-1000 OVERVIEW PPM-1000 is a handheld tester for the applications of Power over Ethernet (PoE). It performs on-site measurement of the running voltage and supplying power at the end of Ethernet cable terminal in any length for PoE PSE/PD devices which complies with IEEE802.3af. PPM-1000 provides for field engineer a convenient on-site tester with compact size to verify PoE, measure the voltage, and examine the maximum power from PSE to PD at the end point of the Ethernet cable. Powered by replaceable and rechargeable battery, the portable PPM-1000 allows the technical personnel to test terminal for PD in the fields. With 3-digit LED display, it shows the PoE status and the maximum power available from PSE. Pass/Fail LED indicators may inform technician the results instantly. With built-in Terminal Block connectors, PPM-1000 is able to clamp and hold the bare wires of network cable for test before clamping into the RJ-45 connector. PPM-1000 is truly the best handy tool for the installation of PoE PD devices. With the tester, it shall successfully guarantee the PoE power provision to PD devices.

Run HyperTerminal in Windows at 38400 bps (Baud Rate) to connect and open the default settings. Press Ctrl+C to enter main menu. Select A to check firmware version or B to update firmware with using X modem protocol. Start/Set(-) Button： Set the desire maximum power (Watt) for test: Push and hold Start/Set(-) button for 3 seconds to enter for configuration of maximum power limit. It confirms with a beep sound and the 3-digit LED display start blinking. Press the Start/Set(-) or Start/Set(-) buttons to set the desired power limit Then, push and hold Start/Set(-) button for 3 seconds to exit the configuration stage. Press once to start measurement and press again to finish the test procedure. Display/Set(+) Button Select options for displaying the Voltage, Power Consumption Limit and Temperature.  While LED PWR/TEST is in orange during testing, the 3-digit Display shows the instantaneous power values.  While LED PWR/TEST is in green, the 3-digit display will show the final result of power measurement. Note that if the LED OK/NG is in green OK, it indicates the power from PSE is able to provide the desired power consumption limit; else LED OK/NG will be in orange NG, indicating the power is not enough for the PD requirement.
