ARGUS Copper Test Manual
After selecting "Edit", the velocity of propagation, line resistance, capacitance and name
can be set.
TDR status display:
The ARGUS displays possible interference sources on the copper twisted pair directly.
The adjustable range, the gain and the graph functions permit more detailed analysis.
The accuracy is approx. ±2 % of the measuring range.
When determining the distance, try to determine the start of a pulse where
possible, and not the relative maximum.
To ensure optimum detection of pulse reflections, match the function for adjusting the gain
(y-axis) with the reduction/enlargement of the range shown (x-axis).
The ARGUS always starts with the lowest gain (-26 dB) at a range of 1500 meters.
The measurements with the TDR can take place in a measuring range of from 3.5 to 6000
meters. The resolution is approx. 0.3 % of the displayed measuring range.
You can obtain further information on the wite types in the ARGUSpedia on
the instrument.
