Configuring Final/Active Pair Test
Test Setup
The Test Setup allows you to 
select/adjust the setup parameters for 
the Final/Active Pair Test as follows:
³
Cable Type defines the gauge of 
the cable in use. If wire gauge is 
measured in American Wire 
Gauge (AWG) units, the available 
choices are: AUTO, 19 AWG, 
22 AWG, 24 AWG, or 26 AWG. For 
mm gauge wire, the available choices are: AUTO, 0.32 mm, 0.40 mm, 
0.50 mm, 0.60 mm, 0.65 mm, 0.80 mm, 0.90 mm, or 1.20 mm.
³
Cable Fill allows you to select the type of material the cable can be 
filled with. Changing the selection to AIRCORE, JELLY, PULP, 5 PR, or 
2 PR influences the cable capacitance per length, automatically 
updating the Cap. T/R-GND field.
³
Metallic Insulation Test Time(sec) specifies the duration of the 
isolation test: 1 to 15. The default is 3 seconds. A maximum of only 15 
seconds is permitted for each connection so that all the measurements 
will be completed before the silent switchman times out and 
re-applies the battery to the line.
³
Input Impedance displays the input impedance in the loop. The 
available choices are: >1 MOhm, 100 KOhm.
