Your LVPro Model number (20, 30, & 30SR) and possible prior upgrades determines which of the following APPS you have loaded on your tester.
  • Page 11 OPERATION - Cont. Included with the Length-RLQ APP, Return Loss Quality tests for load mismatches that affect the wire’s power and data transfer capability. It is a powerful quality test that should be used if quality problems are suspected with the cable. The RLQ test works with DATA cables and VIDEO cables.

ATTACHMENT OF TEST MODULES In the growing effort to expand the testing capabilities of the LVPro, the Model 20, 30 & 30SR are capable of the attachment of Test Modules to expand their testing capabilities. This section of the manual will explain how to attachment the module to the LVPro.

TEST These following are examples of the TIA 568 test that the LVPro performs on Category cable. In addition to PASS/FAIL and wiremap that is shown here, there are also timing tests (delay, skew) and impedance measurement (ohms).
  • Page 19 CABLE TEST EXAMPLES TECHNOLOGY FOR PERFECT CABLE TESTING The LVPro employs the latest technology to get you the TEST highest quality testing for your low voltage projects at the best price. The TIA 568 tests, PASS/FAIL, wiremap, timing tests (delay, skew) and impedance measurement (ohms) are standard on all Low Voltage Pros.
  • Page 20 GLOSSARY "OHMS" Cable impedance The high-frequency nature of 21st century CATV and data signaling requires cabling that preserves the integrity of the signal between trans- mitter and receiver. This requires a good impedance match along the transmission route. Standard Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 data cables employ twisted pair transmission lines, with a specified 100-ohm characteristic impedance on each pair.
  • Page 21 GLOSSARY "VOP" Velocity of Propagation All cables, no matter what type, have a VOP. It is usually listed on the cable's datasheet. Or, the LVPro's Length-RLQ APP can measure it in what we call VOP "CAL" mode. The best way to describe VOP is to relate it to "Propagation delay"...
