Cable Gauge
identifies the gauge system for
measuring wire sizes in AWG (American Wire
Gaugeunits or mm (metric wire size).
Cable Fill
read-only entry is the type of
material the cable is filled with:
Aircore, Jelly,
Pulp, 5 PR,
or
2 PR
. Setup in the
Cable Book
.
This value affects
Capacitance/Opens
distance calculations.
Velocity of Propagation
read-only entry is the
velocity of propagation for the cable. Setup in
the
Cable Book
. This value changes the
distance shown at the cursor.
Cable Temperature
allows you to change the
temperature of the cable under test in either
°F
or
°C
. Temperature primarily affects
Resistance
measurements.
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 or the alphanumeric editor screen and
use the navigation keys to scroll through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
Pair Detective Threshold Settings
The
Threshold Settings
page allows you to set the
threshold parameters for the tests below. Modifying
these values will change what color is used on a result
and when a fault is identified, such as a short at 3.5 M
Ohms.
Foreign DC Voltage
sets the maximum foreign
DC voltage value. Default is 4 V which is fine
for POTS and internet circuits; consider a lower
value for a high-speed DSL such as VDSL2.
POTS DC Voltage
sets the minimum working
POTS DC voltage value.
POTS DC Current
sets the minimum working
POTS DC current value.
Capacitive Balance
sets the minimum
capacitive balance threshold as a percentage.
Good VF/AC Balance
sets the good VF/AC
balance threshold.
Marginal VF/AC Balance
sets the marginal
VF/AC balance threshold.
Isolation
sets the isolation resistance
threshold.
Type
is a read-only field displaying the
threshold limit: either
Minimum
or
Maximum
.
Enabled
is a read-only field and always
Yes
for all thresholds.
To set threshold values:
1. Press the up/down arrow keys to highlight the
desired parameter.
2. Press
on a value to open the alphanumeric
editor screen and use the navigation keys to
scroll through.
3. Press
to select each value and use the
function keys to complete your selection.
4. Press
to confirm and close your
selections.
