3.1.8 Loop resistance measurement (R)

Loop resistance measurement enables you e.g. to detect short-circuits and estimate line
lengths, among other things.
A voltage check is performed before the measurement in which the
voltage limits given in the table (see page 7) may not be exceeded. A
loop must be created. This can be ensured using the instrument kit
function "short circ. Tip-Ring-Ground".
Loop resistance measurement is not intended for single-wire deter-
minations. Use resistance symmetry measurement for this purpose.
See the chapter Technical data page 10 for information on measuring ranges, resolutions
and accuracies of loop resistance measurement.
Loop resistance measurement settings
After selecting the "Menu" softkey, the following settings can be made:
- Wire Types
- Susceptibility
- Remote Kit Command

- Information Bell
You can obtain further information on the settings in the ARGUSpedia on the
instrument.
