If the analyzer detects a short:
The display prompts
Short Detected
, and the analyzer emits a series of double
beeps.
If both opens and shorts are detected:
The display prompts
Errors Detected
, and the analyzer emits a series of triple
beeps.
If an insulation short is detected:
The display prompts either
Bad R> X
Ω
s or Insulation Short . Both prompts indi-
cate that the measured resistance is higher than the Connection Resistance setting,
and lower than the Insulation Resistance setting. The analyzer emits a series of dou-
ble beeps.
Intermittent
If a cable develops shorts or opens after it first tests as good, the display prompts an
intermittent error. The analyzer emits a steady series of clicks as though the cable
were good.
• Press
Display/Print
to show the error condition that existed when the
intermittent occurred.
• Clear the intermittent by pressing the
Memory
button on the back of the
analyzer.
Print or transcribe an
error list
If the analyzer detects errors, it can prompt where the error is in a cable. To do this,
press
Display/Print
while the cable is still connected to the analyzer. If you have a
printer connected to your analyzer, it will automatically print out an error list. If you
don’t have a printer, keep pressing
Display/Print
to step through the errors as you
transcribe them to a cable documentation form (see page 79).
