Resistive Balance
Resistive Balance
At the start of the Resistive Balance test, the unit will check for the 
presence of dangerous voltage and an active circuit. If dangerous voltage is 
detected, a dialog box will be displayed to inform you and the test will stop. 
If an active circuit is detected, a dialog box will be displayed to ask you 
whether or not to proceed with the test.
Test Setup
The Test Setup tab allows you to 
configure parameters for the resistive 
balance test.
Each parameter is described below:
³
Res. Bal. Thr. (ohm) is the 
resistive balance threshold ranging 
from 0.1 to 20 ohms. If the 
measured resistive balance in 
ohms is greater than this threshold, 
the fail icon is displayed. Otherwise, the pass icon is displayed.
³
Res. Bal. Thr. (%) is the resistive balance threshold ranging from 50 to 
100%. If the measured resistive balance in percentage is greater than 
this threshold, the pass icon is displayed. Otherwise, the fail icon is 
displayed.
³
Low Resistance Value (ohm) defines which of the above thresholds 
will be used to determine pass or fail. The range is 0.1 to 999.9 ohm. If 
the loop resistance is less than the Low Resistance Value, the 
threshold in Res. Bal. Thr. (ohm) will be used. Otherwise, the 
threshold in Res. Bal. Thr. (%) is used.
