View Splice Results Screen
Selecting the View Splice Results option from the menu displays this screen (
).
Results will be reported in the Splice Detection Results column for each transceiver:
• NTF - Reported if the unit is active and no problems have been detected or the number of
anomalies detected have not yet reached the detection count threshold, which facilitates
the reporting of the result to this screen. (Eight is the present threshold.)
• LOS - Reported if the remote unit has not been detected.
• Number - Reported if an anomaly has been detected a number of times that exceeds the
detection count threshold of eight. The number shown in this column represents the
number of feet from the transceiver (Reference Point) to that anomaly. This number will
also reflect the highest anomaly count seen, as it is possible to have more than one bad
splice per circuit. This screen will report the worst (most frequently detected) anomaly.
In this example, a detection has occurred approximately 650 feet from an H4TU-C module.
The (

Detection Results.

Reset Splice Detector
The Splice Detector can be reset by one of three methods:
• Power up - The splice detector automatically clears all histogram counters and initializes
all distance buffers upon power up. To prevent loss of splice results due to inadvertent
power loss, the splice result for the previous 14 days (stored off daily) is available on the
Results Screen.
• Manually - The splice detector can be reset via the Troubleshooting Chronic Circuit
Guidance Screen. This is recommended when troubleshooting a chronic circuit to clear any
old counts out of the detector. This reset will trigger an event log entry.
