The Ohmstik is placed on a splice or connector so the connection under test is between the two electrodes. Measurement data is communicated to both the Remote Display and the Radio Ohmstik Software on the user's laptop. At the same time, the GPS device sends location data to the Software. When a valid measurement is received, the software writes the data to a comma separated (CSV) fi... -

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Cleaning The Radio Ohmstik should be cleaned by wiping with a silicone hot stick wipe to remove dirt, sand, and salt that will degrade the urethane housing. Transporting There are no special considerations for transporting this device. -
Page 8: Calculating Connector Resistance Ratio
Calculating Connector Resistance Ratio: Resistance ratio is calculated by comparing the resistance of the fi tting over the resistance of the conductor. Factors effecting the readings may include line tension and wire condition (heavily birdcaged or other). Ratio = Connector / Conductor All fi... -
