Multimeter
Tests
The purpose of the
Multimeter
tests function is to
detect AC/DC voltages and currents, measure
resistance and capacitance in a loop, and
stress
test
the loop.
To access Multimeter tests:
From the
Copper Main
pane, highlight
Multimeter
and
press
to open the
Multimeter
menu.
9.1 Multimeter Main Page
Multimeter
tests allow you to do the following:
make basic electrical safety checks (AC volts)
check for
crossed
or coupled battery voltages
assess basic loop continuity
balance loop quality with resistance
measurements
measure total electrical length with capacitance
measure the ground path resistance with the
station ground test
run a
stress
test.
Pair Detective
runs many of these tests automatically
and is a recommended starting test to assess loop
quality and identify common faults.
To access Pair Detective from Multimeter tests:
1. Press
to return to the
Copper Main
menu.
2. Highlight Pair Detective and press
to
launch the test.
The
Multimeter
menu allows you to select and run the
displayed tests:
Voltage
Current
Resistance
Resistive Balance
Isolation
Capacitance/Opens
Station Ground
Stressed Balance
