FaultMapper
FaultMapper
The
FaultMapper
test allows you to locate and
identify service-affecting line faults using TDR (time
domain reflectometry) and RFL (resistance fault
locator) technology. This test is useful in locating
bridged taps, shorts, grounds, and opens.
Current Test
displays the test being measured.
Far End Strap
allows you to select option
Yes
or
No
for use of a strap.
A strap, while not required, enables
FaultMapper
to calculate distance to a ground/earth fault.
Cable Setup
button opens a new page that allows
you to set the
Cable Parameters
for the
Current Test
.
Result
displays the cable faults in text and graphical format.
Note:
Some displayed resistive faults may be
effective
faults. For example if a
strap is present, a T-G short may be shown twice: first as a T-G short and
second as an
effective
R-G short. In such cases, the resistance shown is the
resistance that would be measured using a multimeter.
Estimated Length
displays the cable length when the cable is open.
Note:
The cable length may include the Bridge Tap length. Remove the Bridge Tap
for better accuracy.
Fault Status
displays the number of faults detected (or
No fault
detected
) after running the test. The status
Open detected
is reported
in the following case:
No strap.
The pair is open.
No faults (other than the pair being open).
