Note: The accuracy of the
2 Terminal Capacitance
Measurement
is impacted by the use of the
FED, and the
3 Terminal
(default) method is
recommended to be used instead.
Selected Pair
allows you to select
All Pairs
or
a single wire pair for measurement.
Cable Parameters
:
o
Cable Type
displays the ID, Cable
Name and Fill, and allows you to select
an entry (with its associated
parameters) from the current Cable
Book, to use for testing. The selection
is not saved when leaving the test. The
current Cable Book entry is shown by
default.
o
Capacitance T-R/A-B
displays the
capacitance value from Tip to Ring in
nF/mi or km ranging from 10.0 to
500.0.
o
Capacitance T/R
or
A/B to GND/E
displays the capacitance value from
Tip or Ring to Ground, in nF/mi or km
ranging from 10.0 to 500.0.
Threshold Settings
button opens a new page
that allows you to set the capacitance balance
threshold for the test.
Result
displays a snapshot of the pass/fail
status,
Capacitance
and
Length
for each
selected wire pair.
Capacitive Balance
is
shown in
%
when
All Pairs
are selected.
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 and use the navigation keys to scroll
through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
Continuous
The
Continuous
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 in the capacitance
results/length could indicate intermittent or wet faults,
or a partial open.
Current Group
is the current test group name,
for example
Multimeter
.
Current Test
displays the test being
measured. When FED is
Enabled
, the FED
icon and numeric state are displayed beside
the
Current Test
. Here you can switch to
another test from the given list. However, this
action will terminate the ongoing measurement
test.
