At the job-site, you can determine if the cable remaining on
your spool or in your box will be sufficient for the job at
hand. This will save you an unnecessary trip to the
warehouse for more cable, and help you avoid running out
of cable in the middle of an installation.
There are two points to remember when measuring the
length of wire on a spool:
The wire length must be within the range of the tester
(see Table 2).
The accuracy of the measurement will be optimum if
the VOP is set correctly for the type of wire being
measured. See Table 2 for a list of specifically identified
cables and Table 3 for a list of VOP values for other cable
types.
In the warehouse, you can quickly measure the cable
remaining on all your spools, allowing you to select the right
spool for each job. Additionally, by keeping a record of the
prior inventory, you can determine how much wire was used
on the current job.
Note
Remember that the tester works on TWO conductors.
Single conductor spools can not be measured with
the TS90 Cable Fault Finder.
