Sensor cable tests
Single cable continuity test
1. At one end of the cable, short the center conductor to the connector shell.
2. At the other end of the cable, measure the resistance between the connector’s center
conductor and shell.
• resistance = 10
 or less
Note Perform the single cable continuity test, the insulation resistance test,
and the leakage resistance test before conducting the cable-pair
continuity test.
Repeat each test for all sensor cables.

Note For SC1/SC2 sensor cable the resistance should be approximately 3

per 100 m of cable.
