Appendix B: 150 ohm Cables

Working with 150 Ohm Cables

If you are using 150 ohm cable, adjust the minimum and maximum Impedance limits ±10% to 135
and 165 ohms.

First, make sure that the cable type for which you are changing the Impedance limits has been
selected as the default cable type. To select the default cable type, press

Cable (F1)

from the

Ready

screen, highlight the desired cable type, and press

Default (F1).

To display the

IMPEDANCE LIMITS

screen, press the

Extended Functions

key, then

select

Setup Autotest

, then highlight the Autotest to edit, then press

Edit (F2),

then select

Limits

, then

select

arrow keys to highlight the field to edit. If your Scanner has an alphanumeric

overlay on the keypad, use the keypad to enter the limits. If your Scanner does not have an
alphanumeric overlay, press

to display the edit screen. Change the Minimum limit to 135

and the Maximum limit to 165. See Chapter 4: Editing, Printing & Updating for more
information on editing.

After editing, press

Save (F1)

to store the new limits and press the
