Add the total of all cable sections. If the total of all sections exceeds
175 ohm, select another loop.
Note: The loop resistance limit of 175 ohm must be reduced by 1 ohm for
each percent of the loop that is aerial cable (see Table 75 on

The following equipment is required for the loop diagnostic tests in
Procedure 64 on
page
•
one volt-ohmmeter (VOM) for each test
•
one 77 cable analyzer or equivalent for each test
Procedure 64
Testing foreign voltage
1
Set the VOM range switch to a scale 60 V dc/V ac or greater.
2
Connect the VOM test probes to the loop at the line card or distributing
frame.
3
Measure the DC and AC voltage between the following points under
no-load conditions:
•
tip (T) and ring (R)
•
T and ground (GND)
•
R and GND
Requirement: Voltage readings should be less than 1 V dc/V ac.
