Type is the threshold limit for each pair: either
Maximum or Minimum.
Enabled is a flag to use the current threshold:
either Yes or No.
To set threshold values:
1. Press the up/down arrow keys to highlight the
desired parameter.
2. Press the left/right arrow keys to view and
select the options.
OR
3. Press
on a value to open a list box of
options or the alphanumeric editor screen and
use the navigation keys to scroll through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
Continuous
The Continuous function measures each pair,
displaying and updating results in real time, until you
stop the test. The last valid results then remain
displayed. In Continuous mode, significant changes or
fluctuations in the values can indicate wet faults or
intermittent metallic faults (swinging faults), or other
foreign voltages on the pair. (Sometimes ground
signals can influence a pair through a ground fault.)
Current Group is the current test group name,
for example Multimeter.
Current Test displays the test being
measured. When FED is Enabled, the FED
icon and numeric state are displayed beside
the Current Test.
Here you can switch to another test from the
given list. However, this action will terminate
the ongoing measurement test.

6100-Cu Multifunction Copper Tester Operation Manual
Selected Pair allows you to select All Pairs or
a single wire pair for measurement.
Cable Parameters:
o
Cable Type displays the ID, Cable
Name and Fill, and allows you to select
an entry (with its associated
parameters) from the current Cable
Book, to use for testing. The selection
is not saved when leaving the test. The
current Cable Book entry is shown by
default.
o
Cable Temperature is the temperature
in either °F or °C of the cable under
test.
Resistance displays the resistance per length
value of the selected Cable Type. The value is
updated when Cable Temperature/Type
change.
Threshold Settings button opens a new page
that allows you to set the resistance thresholds
for each pair.
Result displays a snapshot of the pass/fail
status, Continuous Resistance and Length
for each selected wire pair.
Test Status displays the current state of
measurement or an error message.
To select the parameter values:
1. Press the up/down arrow keys to highlight the
desired parameter.
2. Press the left/right arrow keys to view and
select the options.
OR
3. Press
on a value to open a list box of
options or the alphanumeric editor screen and
use the navigation keys to scroll through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
9.5 Resistive Balance
The Resistive Balance test measures and compares
the resistance of each leg. This test requires you to
short Tip and Ring (T-R/A-B) to ground/earth at the far
end (T-R-G/A-B-E short) before proceeding with the
test. Radiodetection's TS-125 FED (Far End Device)
can automatically set the far end condition.
