RFL (Resistance Fault Locate)
Use this function to locate a Resistance Fault on
a pair or on a single conductor.
The function first shows two possible hookups:
Separate Pair or Single Pair. Use the [Tab] key
to switch between the two hookups.
Separate Pair: (This is the preferred hookup)
You must first use the Resistance function to
identify the faulted conductor and a separate
good pair (a pair with no faults).
Once you identify the wires,
connect the Strap
at a ‘far-end’ access point to the same faulted
conductor and separate good pair.
Press the RFL key and select “Separate Pair.”
Connect the Red test lead to the faulted wire.
Connect the Black Lead to the reference. (The
reference is the return path for the fault and
could be the shield or another wire in the cable.)
Connect the Green and Yellow test leads to the
separate good pair.
Press the [Enter] key after you make the above
connections.
If there is a problem with the connection, you
will see the “Hookup Error” screen on the next
page. If the connections are OK, the 965DSP-B
will go directly to the “RFL Results” screen.
