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.
Note: The accuracy of the 2 Terminal Capacitance
Measurement is impacted by the use of the
FED, and the 3 Terminal (default) method is
recommended to be used instead.
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
Capacitance T-R/A-B displays the
capacitance value from Tip to Ring in
nF/mi or km ranging from 10.0 to
500.0.
o
Capacitance T/R or A/B to GND/E
displays the capacitance value from
Tip or Ring to Ground, in nF/mi or km
ranging from 10.0 to 500.0.
Threshold Settings button opens a new page
that allows you to set the capacitance balance
threshold for the test.
Result displays a snapshot of the pass/fail
status, Capacitance and Length for each
selected wire pair. Capacitive Balance is
shown in % when All Pairs is selected.
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 and use the navigation keys to scroll
through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.

6100-Cu Multifunction Copper Tester Operation Manual
Capacitance/Opens Threshold Settings
The Threshold Settings page allows you to set the
Capacitive Balance Threshold parameters for the test
between 0 and 100 %. The threshold is a
programmable value you can use as an on-screen
indicator in each test when a measured value is too
high or too low. POTS and internet circuits should be
95 %, and higher speed broadband circuits 97 % or 98
% if possible.
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 select the 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 and use the navigation keys to scroll
through.
4. Press
to confirm the value.
9.8 Station Ground
The Station Ground test measures and displays the
resistance value and pass/fail status of the ground
resistance between the 6100-Cu and the CO (Central
Office). A provisioned POTS circuit is required for this
test to work properly.
