  • Page 10 ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Determining an Unknown VoP Value Follow these instructions to set the Length Constant based on a sample cable of known length. The Cable Length Meter can calculate a VoP from a test cable length of 25 to 1000 ft. (10 to 300 m). Longer cable lengths will give more accurate results.
