2. Verify that the pair is actually split with another pair, and then locate the
second split pair with a tracing tone probe or other standard method.
3. As prompted, connect the tester’s Pair 1 and 2 test leads to the two split
pairs exactly as shown in the connection diagram (Figure 4-10).
4. Press K.
Note
The two split pairs must be the same lengths (within ±5 %) to obtain a
meaningful measurement. If not, the tester detects the imbalance and
displays an error message.
The tester makes the required measurements, as shown in

5. Press A(Contin. Opens) to view continuous two-terminal information,
which includes the selected leg length or capacitance.
