*Measurement accuracy of ±2% assumes the instrument setting for velocity of propagation (Vp) of the cable under test to be accurately set, and homogeneity of the velocity of propagation (Vp) along the cable length. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Fault Mapper Model CA7024 1.800.561.8187 information@itm.com www. -

Vp along the cable length. If the Vp is set incorrectly by the operator, or the Vp varies along the length of the cable, then additional errors will be incurred and the measurement accuracy will be affected. See § 4.9 for setting the Vp. NOTE: The Vp is less well defined with unshielded multi-conductor cable, including power cable, and is lower when a cable is tightly wound on a drum than when it is installed in a linear fashion.

3. Connect one end of the cable to the Fault Mapper (see § 4.11). Leave the end unterminated and make sure the wires do not short to each other. 4. Measure the length and adjust the Vp until the exact length is displayed. 5. When the exact length is displayed, Vp is established.
