TS100 Cable Fault Finder
Users Guide
Velocity of Propagation (VOP)
VOP is a cable specification indicating the speed at
which a signal travels down the cable. A VOP of 66
means the signal travels at 66 % of the speed of light.
The tester uses VOP to calculate cable length. See
“Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Technology” on
page 10 for details.
Here are some important points about VOP:
•
Different cables have different VOP settings.
•
The tester’s default VOP setting of 66 is suitable for
most applications.
•
Using the VOP specified for a cable ensures the
most accuracy in fault location, length
measurements, and inventory management. Table
2 and Table 3 show VOP values for common cables.
Some common VOP values are also listed on the
tester’s battery door.
You can set the tester’s VOP to a known value, or you
can use the tester to determine the VOP for a known
length of cable.
To set the VOP to a known value:
1
Turn the tester on while holding down the UP or
DOWN button. In this mode, the display
alternately shows the VOP setting (-VV-) and the
calculated length (LLLL).
2
When the VOP setting is displayed, press the UP or
DOWN button. This keeps the VOP value on the
display for adjustment.
3
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the VOP to
the desired value.
4
To exit the VOP adjustment mode, turn the tester
off.
To determine the VOP of a known length of cable:
1
Connect a known length of cable to the tester. The
cable must be 200 feet (60 meters) or longer (such
as an unopened box of wire).
2
Turn the tester on while holding down the UP or
DOWN button. In this mode, the display
alternately shows the VOP setting (-VV-) and the
calculated length (LLLL).
3
When the length setting is displayed, press the UP
or DOWN button. This keeps the length value on
the display for adjustment.
4
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the
length to the length of the cable.
5
To exit the VOP adjustment mode, turn the tester
off.
Notes
While the tester is in VOP adjustment mode,
tone is not injected into the cable.
The VOP value reverts to the default of 66 when
you change the tester’s batteries.
In Case of Unstable or Unusual Readings
Sometimes, devices connected to the cable you are
testing can prevent the TS100 from making a valid
reading. Such devices include telephones, fax
machines, modems, speakers, transformers, light bulbs,
televisions, and dc loads. The software makes the best
decisions it can when faced with unusual conditions,
but may not always be able to ignore connected
devices. If you get a highly unstable or clearly invalid
reading, check for devices connected to the cable.
