To run additional tests directly from this screen, do the following:
• Press A(
Contin. Resistance) to obtain a continuous resistance reading.
• Press B(
Leakage Stress) to run a high voltage test to break down and
expose high resistance oxidized copper faults. (See “Leakage Stress Test”)
• Press C(RFL) to run a Resistance Fault Location test to locate the fault.
• Press D(
Ohms to Distance) to convert the fault resistances to distances.
(See “Converting Fault Resistance Values to Distance Values”, which
follows, for instructions).
