Grounds/high resistive ground
Opens/possible high resistive open
Imbalanced pair
Corrosion (one sided series resistance)
Wet detected (but not flooded section)
Isolation
results also display a five-level indicator of
the measured isolation/leakage resistance.
The
Summary
page allows you to set the following
parameters:
Isolation Soak Time
sets a soak period of
time from 1 to 60 seconds for the
Isolation
test. Default is 5 s. If your unit has the HIVOLT
(high voltage) software option configured, the
Soak Voltage
parameter values are extended
up to 500 V maximum. Default is inherited from
Multimeter Isolation
test.
Note: The application of higher voltage over time tends
to dry-up moisture. Some faults may appear to
disappear after a soak period, but only the
moisture has disappeared. The fault remains and
moisture will likely return at a later time.
Therefore, do not extend the soak time unless
testing insulation resistivity (PIC, paper, etc.).
Cable Setup
button opens a new page that
allows you to set the
Cable Parameters
for the
test.
Threshold Settings
button opens a new page
that allows you to set the threshold parameters.
They control when
Pair Detective
identifies a
fault, such as 4 VDC for a battery fault. You
can also modify when
Pair Detective
identifies
a high-resistive versus normal fault by
changing the threshold parameters.
Note: Individual test parameters can be modified by
accessing their respective test pages.
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 the alphanumeric
editor screen and use the navigation keys to
scroll through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
Pair Detective Cable Setup
The
Cable Setup
page allows you to set
Cable
Parameters
for the
Pair Detective
test.
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. These cable
parameters affect distance calculations of
Capacitance/Opens
and
Resistance
measurements, and the
TDR
cursor distance
indication.
