Selected Pair
allows you to select
All Pairs
or
a single wire pair for measurement.
Termination Resistance
is a read-only value
of
430 Ω
that defines how much resistance the
tester uses to connect to the line.
Threshold Settings
button opens a new page
that allows you to set the AC current thresholds
for each pair.
Result
displays a snapshot of the pass/fail
status, AC current and frequency (Hz) results
for each selected wire pair.
Test Status
displays the current state of
measurement or an error message.
To select the parameter values:
1. Press the up/down arrow keys to highlight the
desired parameter.
2. Press the left/right arrow keys to view and
select the options.
OR
3. Press
on a value to open a list box of
options.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
Continuous DC Page
The
Continuous DC
function measures each pair,
displaying and updating results in
real time
, until you
stop the test. The last valid results then remain
displayed. Significant fluctuations while this test is
running can indicate intermittent
swinging
, contact or
wet faults.
To view all lead combinations right away:
Press the
Snapshot
function key.
Continuous AC
and
Continuous DC
are run
synchronously. Press Start/Stop on the keypad to run
the test.
Current Group
is the current test group name,
for example
Multimeter
.
Current Test
displays the test being
measured. Here you can switch to another test
from the given list. However, this action will
terminate the ongoing measurement test.

Result
displays a snapshot of the pass/fail
status and DC current results for each selected
wire pair.
Test Status
displays the current state of
measurement or an error message.

9.4 Resistance
The
Resistance
test, also known as shorts, allows you
to measure the resistance values in Ohms, of the wire
pair under test. Use this test to identify shorts and
grounds when the far end is open, comparing the
Ohms reading of each lead combination. You want
high-Ohm values between the leads when measuring
to an open, the higher the better. But if a reading is
very low, such as 200 kΩ T-G/A-E, we know there is a
ground fault present.
