Note: Unlike other instruments, the DTR
®
Model 8500 does not
imposepolarityrestrictionsor“forced”auto-connections,thusthere
are several valid hookups and virtually all transformer congu-
rations can be tested. In all tests, a negative sign preceding the
displayed ratio indicates phase reversal (inverted polarity) of the

, always note the color code of test cable boots.
