Distance to Fault will be
displayed. - RD:4293F RT:SH
6.
On the screen, if the RT:
result displays a flashing
“RF”, the fault distance
may not be correct. The
Fault Wizard may not
see a high resistive fault.

- Listen to the sound the Fault Wizard makes. A “thud” sound indicates a good discharge at the fault and the fault
distance should be accurate. If a “click-click” relay-sound is heard, the fault distance is probably inaccurate due to
the cable possibly being good.

Cycle Mode, used to pinpoint fault by sound: Use only on isolated cable sections!!
Warning
: - Stay clear of cable and connections, after step 3 below. Discharge will occur once charge voltage is
reached and will discharge every 6 seconds until the STOP/GROUND button is pressed.

Adjust Voltage knob upward
observing the CV: on the
screen. A faulted cable will
cause the charge voltage to
collapse or drop to a lower
value because it is arcing at the
fault location. A good cable
will charge up to 10 kV.
