Wet detected (but not flooded section)
Isolation results also display a five-level indicator of
the measured isolation/leakage resistance.
The Summary page allows you to set the following
parameters:
Isolation Soak Time sets a soak period of
time from 1 to 60 seconds for the Isolation
test. Default is 5 s. If your unit has the HIVOLT
(high voltage) software option configured, the
Soak Voltage parameter values are extended
up to 500 V maximum. Default is inherited from
Multimeter Isolation test.
Note: The application of higher voltage over time tends
to dry-up moisture. Some faults may appear to
disappear after a soak period, but only the
moisture has disappeared. The fault remains and
moisture will likely return at a later time.
Therefore, do not extend the soak time unless
testing insulation resistivity (PIC, paper, etc.).
Cable Setup button opens a new page that
allows you to set the Cable Parameters for the
test.
Threshold Settings button opens a new page
that allows you to set the threshold parameters.
They control when Pair Detective identifies a
fault, such as 4 VDC for a battery fault. You
can also modify when Pair Detective identifies
a high-resistive versus normal fault by
changing the threshold parameters.
Note: Individual test parameters can be modified by
accessing their respective test pages.
To select the parameter values:
1. Press the up/down arrow keys to highlight the
desired parameter.

3. Press
on a value to open the alphanumeric
editor screen and use the navigation keys to
scroll through.
4. Press

Pair Detective Cable Setup
The Cable Setup page allows you to set Cable
Parameters for the Pair Detective test.
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. These cable
parameters affect distance calculations of
Capacitance/Opens and Resistance
measurements, and the TDR cursor distance
indication.
Cable Gauge identifies the gauge system for
measuring wire sizes in AWG (American Wire
Gaugeunits or mm (metric wire size).
Cable Fill read-only entry is the type of
material the cable is filled with: Aircore, Jelly,
Pulp, 5 PR, or 2 PR. Setup in the Cable Book.
This value affects Capacitance/Opens
distance calculations.
Velocity of Propagation read-only entry is the
velocity of propagation for the cable. Setup in
the Cable Book. This value changes the
distance shown at the cursor.
Cable Temperature allows you to change the
temperature of the cable under test in either °F
