High-Resistance Fault – If a ‘soft’ short
of up to 125 kohm (as opposed to a hard
short of 0 ohm) is detected between
two pins of the same pair, the second
line will have ashing ‘R’ in the two
positions corresponding to those two
pins� A message of “High-R Fault” will be
displayed on the third line�
If a ‘soft’ short is detected between two
pins of two different pairs, the second
line will have ashing ‘R’ in 3 or 4
positions corresponding to the two pairs�
For a shielded cable, if a ‘soft’ short
is detected between the shield and
a single pin, the second line will
have ashing ‘R’ in the shield and
the pin’s positions. If a ‘soft’ short
occurs in certain locations where the
TestierPROf could not resolve the
fault down to a single shield-and-
pin combo, the second line will have
a ashing ‘R’ in more than one pin
locations� The shield location will be
ashing both ‘S’ and ‘?’ to indicate that
the shield’s status could not be resolved�
