Measuring of the propagation factor (nvp-value) of the cable: Connect a cable with known length (e.g. 100 m) on the IRM 5. Set the cursor on the cable length and change the propagation factor so that the pulse echo appears behind the cursor. Measurement principle: The measuring pulse fed into the cable will reflected by inhomogeneity of the cable i mpedance (cable faults) and showed on the display.
