Using Calibration Mode
Use Calibration Mode to calculate the NVP value for a known cable length between 25 ft
- 1,000 ft or between 10 m - 300 m. The determined NVP value can be stored in the
unit’s memory allowing you to easily test cables without recalibrating the NVP every test.
Note: Calibration Mode is used with unterminated cables only.
For the first use of Calibration Mode, the unit defaults to a cable length of 50 ft, when the unit is set
to feet, or 20 m when the FaultChaser is set to meters.
When Calibration Mode is in use, the connected cable is tested for the presence of voltage. If
detected, a dynamic voltage warning displays until the unit is disconnected from the voltage source.
1. Connect a cable to the FaultChaser. Use connection accessories according to the
type of cable you are testing.
Note: The FaultChaser cannot be calibrated without a cable attached to the unit.
2. Press the POWER button to turn the unit ON.
3. Press the CAL button. The LCD display screen, illustrated in Figure 5 below, shows
the following upon entering Calibration Mode:
•
The last entered cable length, in units of feet or meters.
•
The adjustment indicator icon appears in the screen indicating the cable length is
editable.
•
The “Cal” icon appears in the lower left corner.
•
Three dashes “- - -” are displayed to demonstrate that the NVP value has yet to be
calculated.
