Applications

See Figure 3.

The tester locates opens, short circuits, and crosses in

any two metallic conductors (twisted, untwisted, coax,

copper, aluminum, and steel).

It identifies conductors using the PowerTone feature

and an inductive probe (not included) (see Figure 2).

Tone can be sent between two technicians to ID

multiple pairs. Because the tester beeps when it detects

a short circuit, it also serves as a circuit (for example,

continuity) tester.

Multi-Wire Environment

When testing wires in a multi-wire environment, such

as 4 wire telephone cable, 8 wire CAT-5 cable, 12-2 with

ground ac wire, or several THHN wires inside a conduit,

a short could exist between any number of the

conductors, including a shield or the conduit. To detect

the short, you must connect the tester to the wires that

are shorted. This means that to fully test a multi-wire

cable, you must check every wire against every other

wire including the shields and conduits.

While a quick way to test many conductors against

conduit or shield length is to connect all the conductors

to one clip lead and the shield to the other lead, this

will reduce the impedance of the cable, and

measurements may fall below the tester’s range. It is

more reliable to test the wires individually.

Conduit

There are two methods for testing wire in conduit. You

can test a wire pair or a single wire.

Testing a Wire Pair in a Conduit

To test a wire pair, connect the two test leads to the

pair. If one wire separates from the other for 1 ft

(30 cm) or more, the tester indicates an open at the

separation. For example, if the wires separate after

exiting the conduit, the tester indicates an open at the

end of the conduit.

Testing a Single Wire in a Conduit

You can test a single wire by clipping one test lead to

the wire and the other to the conduit. The tester shows

the length up to a fault or to the point where the wire

separates from the conduit by at least 1 ft (30 cm). For

example, if there is a 2 ft (30 cm) service loop outside

the conduit, the tester shows the length up to the

service loop. This is true even if the two sections of

conduit are electrically connected.
