CableMeter
Making Tests and Measurements
11
When testing coaxial cables with a termination, the test
tool displays the totatl resistance of the termination and
cable wires.
abm09f.eps
Coaxial cables must be unterminated for the test tool to
display the cable’s length. An open in a coaxial cable
looks just like an unterminated cable. A length
measurement that is less than the known cable length
would indicate a possible open in the cable.
The test tool sounds three short tones and displays FAIL
if a failure is detected. Additional information about the
failure is printed on the second line of the display and if
the ] symbol is displayed, additional information can be
viewed with the D C keys.
Note
The failure messages refer to individual wires
rather than pairs of wires.
Failure messages for the TEST mode are described in
Tables 6 and 7.
