Chapter 5: Certify Coaxial Cabling
The optional DSX-CHA003 coaxial adapters let you use the DSX
CableAnalyzer to certify coaxial cabling for network and video
applications.
Set the Reference for Coaxial Tests
To use DSX-CHA003 adapters, you must set the reference for
coaxial tests. The reference procedure sets a baseline for insertion
loss and resistance measurements.
Set the reference at these times:

When you want to use the tester with a different module. The
tester can save reference values for eight different pairs of
modules.
 Every 30 days, at minimum.

To ensure maximum accuracy of test results, set the reference
daily.
Note
It is not necessary to set the reference again if you
use different coaxial adapters.
To set the reference
1
Make the connections shown in Figure 75.
2
Turn on the tester and the remote a minimum of 5 minutes
before you set the reference.
