An increase in cable temperature causes an increase in attenuation. To compensate
for this increase, the test tool uses the temperature you select to modify the
attenuation test limits. To avoid passing faulty cables or failing good cables, select
the temperature that is closest to the cable’s average temperature.
To select an average cable temperature, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the rotary switch to SETUP.
2. Use
D to highlight the average cable temperature.
3. Press
! Choice.
4. Use
D U to highlight the temperature range you want.
5. Press
E to select the highlighted temperature range.
Selecting a Conduit Setting
Some test standards require you to specify whether or not the cable is installed
inside conduit. If the test standard requires a conduit setting, the current setting
(yes or no) appears on the display when you turn the rotary switch to
AUTOTEST. If the test standard does not require a conduit setting,
N/A is
displayed.
Metal conduit slightly increases a cable’s attenuation. To compensate for this
increase, the test tool’s attenuation test limits are raised when the conduit setting
is set to “yes.”
To change the conduit setting, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the rotary switch to SETUP.
2. Use
D to highlight the conduit setting.
3. Press
! Choice.
4. Use
D U to highlight the setting you want.
5. Press
E to accept the highlighted setting.
