6100-Cu Multifunction Copper Tester Operation Manual
The Confirmation diagram uses graphic and textual
components.
o
Proceed button closes the hookup
diagram prompt and starts the test.
o
Cancel button closes the hookup
diagram prompt only.
Current Test displays the test being
measured. When FED is Enabled, the FED
icon and numeric state are displayed beside
the Current Test.
Cable Setup button opens a new page that
allows you to set the cable parameters for the
Current Test.
Press the left/right arrow key to highlight the
button and press
Repeat Mode ON/OFF is available only when
FED is Enabled, and can be turned ON to run
alternating open/short tests (6 open, 5 closed)
displaying average values and highlighting
minimum and maximum results. When turned
OFF, the test runs in single-shot mode only.
Repeat Mode OFF is the default value.
RTF (resistance to fault) is used as a reference
to find minimum and maximum faults. When
the result deviation is greater than a 20 %
Fault Status, run the test again. If all iterations
return the same values (minimum and
maximum are equal), then no results are
highlighted.
Press the left/right arrow key to highlight the
button and press
ON/OFF.
Note: When Repeat Mode is ON, because the test will
run multiple times, it may take some time to
finish.

Result displays K-Test results.
o
Open Ratio is a comparison between
Fault 1 and Fault 2. The larger the fault
size difference, the lower the open ratio
number.
o
Closed Ratio is a comparison between
sections. The larger the Closed Ratio
value, the closer the fault is to the strap
end.
o
Lx/L displays a length ratio where Lx =
Length to fault and L = total Length.
Based on the cable condition, corresponding
values are added into the diagram at their
specific positions. Test result units are
dependent on Standard in Setup/Application
Settings. The K-Test diagram can display
some of the following elements:
o
R/A-T/B-G/E wire connectors.
o
Distance/resistance to strap (DTS/RTS):
distance/resistance from the 6100-Cu to
the strap (far end).
o
Distance/resistance from fault to strap
(DFTS/RFTS).
o
Distance/resistance to fault (DTF/RTF):
distance/resistance from the 6100-Cu to
the fault.
Faults are displayed as follows:
o
Defective Cable (DC).
o
Resistance at fault (Rf1, Rf2): resistance
from the fault to the resistance wire.
o
Voltage at fault (Vf1, Vf2).
If the test reports that it cannot detect the strap
when the measured loop resistance is >10 k
ohms, this may mean:
o
There is no strap connected.
o
There is a strap, but the cable is too long
and has a loop resistance >10 k Ohms.
o
There is a strap, but there is a high
resistance fault or open in the cable.
o
The connection (leads or strap) may be
faulty.
The resistance test may be used to
troubleshoot this problem.
Fault Status displays the status of the RFL
test.
Test Status displays the current state of
measurement or an error message.
