3 Copper tests
3.1.13 Fast cable check
The fast cable check checks the correctness of a three-pole connection (Tip/Ring/Ground)
against a loop, in other words whether Tip/Ring/Ground is properly connected for
subsequent tests.
To achieve this, the cable check measures the resistance. All values below a threshold of
10 kΩ, are interpreted as a loop, and all values greater as an open line. The cable check
can be performed as a standalone test or as part of the auto test. In auto test, an audible
alarm sounds when a fault is detected and the auto test sequence is stopped.
The loop between Tip/Ring/Ground can be realised manually or using an
electronic instrument kit.
After selecting the "Menu" softkey, the following settings can be made:
- Remote Kit Command
- Remote Kit
You can obtain further information on the settings in the ARGUSpedia on the
instrument.
