Smartr Features; Pair Detective - SPX RADIODETECTION 6100-Cu Operation Manual

6100-Cu Multifunction Copper Tester Operation Manual
Features
SmartR features, consisting of Pair Detective and
FaultMapper, are a line of intelligent tests that go
beyond plain results to also identify and locate faults
automatically. They allow you to quickly determine the
condition of the line under test with color-coded, plain
language results, as well as identify and locate a
variety of common circuit faults on a simple, graphical
result screen.

10.1 Pair Detective

The Pair Detective test is a quick, one-minute pair
quality assessment and sequence of tests that does
more than just give numbers. It correlates results using
plain language and color codes to identify common
metallic faults and imbalances such as shorts and
grounds.
Pair Detective includes high voltage isolation/leakage
tests and Auto TDR to quickly locate identified faults. It
also includes two unique tests, corrosion and wet
detect, found nowhere else in the test set. In one
minute, you have a great picture of pair quality and it is
easy to stop the test, move to a new pair, and run the
test again when looking for spare pairs.
Before proceeding with this test, ensure the line is
inactive and open at far end.
At the start of any test, the unit checks for the presence
of dangerous voltage and an active circuit. If dangerous
voltage is detected, a dialog box is displayed to inform
you and the test will stop. If an active circuit is detected,
a dialog box is displayed to ask you whether or not to
proceed with the test.
Summary
The Summary page displays a summary of the
pass/fail status, DC-Voltage/Current and Isolation for
each selected inactive wire pair, as well as other
detailed results of the Pair Detective test. Plain
language results are displayed as the test progresses,
with color coding to draw attention to faults. You may
view raw results by selecting the Multimeter tab at the
bottom of the screen.
TDR is also automatically started in auto-mode, to
locate the nearest significant event/reflection; it remains
on and ready for your usage upon test completion
(select the TDR tab to use).
Pair Detective runs two unique tests found nowhere
else in the 6100-Cu: Corrosion and Wet detect.

SmartR
Corrosion detect identifies the presence of one-sided
corrosion or series resistance (such as a high resistive
or partial, dirty open), while Wet detect tells you if a
fault (faulted splice joint or module, for example) is
damp. (Pair Detective cannot identify flooded cable
sections; use TDR for this problem.)
Pair Detective can find or indicate the following
faults/conditions:
