Setting the Frequency Span
The frequency span and relative propagation velocity
determine the maximum distance at which distance-
to-fault measurements can be taken. For best results,
use the table below to select the frequency span which
matches the length and either the propagation velocity
or dielectric constant of the cable under test.
☞
NOTE: Changing the frequency settings will
automatically turn calibration off. Always set
the frequency before calibrating the unit.
