Plus Test Set
3-Lead
To access the 3-lead screen, press F3 3-Lead. The
initial measurements of the tip-to-ring and ring-to-
ground occur when the LCD screen first appears.
The measurements are shown in sequence, with the
active measurement in bold.
Return to the Single Pair screen by pressing the
F33-Lead key. Press F4AC to switch the display to AC.
Current meter specifications are as follows:
• Range: 0 to 110 mA
• Resolution:
0 to 9.99 mA = 0.01 mA
10 to 100 mA = 0.1 mA
> 100 mA = 1 mA
• Accuracy: ±2 mA
Current measurement in the Sidekick
®
Plus test set
uses a different technique to that used in a typical
multimeter: A resistance simulating a telephone load
is placed in the circuit. In order to protect the unit, a
thermal cut-out will halt the measurement if this test is
used for too long at higher currents.
Stress Balance Measurements
The STRESS selection identifies and isolates the
following:
• High joint or high resistance opens
(series resistance faults)
• Capacitive imbalances
(conductor lengths are unequal)
• Unbalanced load coils or build-out networks
• Crosses
• Grounds
• Split pairs
