Certifying Twisted Pair Cabling

Setting the Reference for Twisted Pair Cabling

The reference procedure sets a baseline for insertion loss,

ACR-F, and DC resistance measurements.

Run the tester’s reference procedure at the following

times:



When you want to use the tester with a different

smart remote. You can reference the tester to two

different smart remotes.



Every 30 days. Doing so ensures maximum accuracy of

test results.

You do not need to set the reference after changing link

interface adapters.

Note

Turn on the tester and smart remote and let them

sit for 1 minute before setting the reference. Set

the reference only after the testers have reached

an ambient temperature between 10



C and 40



(50



F and 104



F).

To set the reference, do the following:

Use one of the methods shown in Figure 9 to connect

the main and remote testers together..

Caution

When you use two channel adapters for the

reference procedure, use only the 6 inch (15 cm)

patch cord provided with the DTX-1500 to

connect the testers together.

Turn the rotary switch to SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.
