8 SmartR™ Features
SmartR features, consisting of Pair Detective and FaultMapper , are a line
of intelligent tests that go beyond plain results to also identify and locate
faults automatically. They allow you to quickly determine the condition of
the line under test with color-coded, plain language results, as well as
identify and locate a variety of common circuit faults on a simple, graphical
result screen.
Pair Detective
The Pair Detective test is a quick, one-minute pair quality assessment and
sequence of tests that does more than just give numbers. It correlates
results using plain language and color codes to identify common metallic
faults and imbalances such as shorts and grounds.
Pair Detective includes
high voltage isolation/leakage tests and Auto TDR to quickly locate
identified faults. It also includes two unique tests, corrosion and wet
detect, found nowhere else in the test set. In one minute, you have a great
picture of pair quality and it is easy to stop the test, move to a new pair, and
run the test again when looking for spare pairs. Before proceeding with this
test, ensure the line is inactive and open at far end.
At the start of any test, the unit checks for the presence of dangerous
voltage and an active circuit. If dangerous voltage is detected, a dialog box
is displayed to inform you and the test will stop. If an active circuit is
detected, a dialog box is displayed to ask you whether or not to proceed
with the test.
