User Preferences
User Preferences affect the way the tester performs and interacts with the operator. User
Preferences do not affect the critical characteristics of the test. In this section we demonstrate
how to change User Preferences, then we explain each type of user preference.
Changing User Preferences
To Change User Preferences:
1. From the main menu, press Set User
Preferences.
2. If necessary, scroll down to the
User Preference you want to change.
3. Select from the displayed User
Preferences.
Each of the User Preferences for the 1100R+ are described on the following pages.
Selections Factory Default
Test Mode
CONTINUOUS
or SINGLE
CONTINUOUS
The Test Mode user preference determines how the operator will start a test, and whether the
tester will continually scan a cable for intermittent errors until removed from the tester.

In CONTINUOUS Test Mode, a test starts automatically when a cable is connected to the
tester. After completing the low voltage part of a test, the tester continuously scans the
cable for intermittent errors until the cable is removed.

In SINGLE Test Mode, the test will not start until START TEST is pressed. After
completing the low voltage part of the test, the tester does not continue to scan for
intermittent errors.
In CONTINUOUS Test Mode, when a cable passes, you will hear a ticking sound. Each good
cable “tick” actually signifies a successful low voltage scan of the tested cable. If there are
errors the tester continuously “beeps” as it scans the cable to help you find intermittent errors.
