Unknown Length Constant
If “length constant” is unknown for a
particular cable, a known length of
the same type of cable may be used
to calibrate the constant. Attach fty
feet or more of a similar cable from the
same manufacturer to the main unit�
Repeatedly press the mode button
for the type of cable being tested until
Length is displayed� Press up/down
arrow keys until 50ft is displayed� The
length constant displayed is what should
be used to measure the length of the
unknown cable for the same model and
from the same manufacturer� Fifty feet
or more is suggested to minimize the
resolution error; 1 foot in 50 is 2% of
uncertainty�
