Fault Indicators
Sets the Fault Indicator setting to either On or Off.
When measuring distance to fault, you can display the top four faults with markers on the
trace. Even if the Fault Indicators are set to Off, the position and the severity of the top
four cable faults are still listed in the Metrics Display section at the bottom of the screen.
When set to On, the positions of the top four faults are indicated on the trace with four
numbered yellow triangles. If you have Pass/Fail Limits set to On, the yellow triangles will
be colored red for any faults that exceed your pre-defined limit.
If your Start Distance is 0 m (0 ft.), you will see a peak corresponding to 0 m (0 ft.). This is
caused by reflection from the junction between your analyzer and the cable under test.
This DC component, sometimes referred to as the “dead zone”, does not necessarily
indicate a problem, but be sure that the connection is tight and clean.
