The Learn Components Setting is found in the Learn Settings, but not in the Test Parameter
Settings. This is because Learn Components determines whether or not the tester looks for
the existence of components when learning a cable. If you learn a cable with components, the
Parameter Signature (the last five digits of the Cable Signature) are displayed as MULTI.
When Learning an Assembly with Components
After learning any cable assembly, the technician should verify the test program (see Creating
a Test Program on page 14). When verifying the test program of a cable assembly with
components, a technician must pay special attention that each component in the learned cable
assembly is identified with the appropriate component or link command. The following topics
in this section can help you understand how to do this.
What Type of Components are Learned and Tested
The tester can learn and test resistors, capacitors, diodes, and twisted-pairs. Though twisted
pairs are not technically components, the tester interface uses the term component to describe
certain electrical characteristics between points. Some components may not be learned, but
can be effectively tested if the Test Program is edited using CTLWIN. For more information,
see Using CTLWIN pages 21 to 24. The chart below compares learn and test capability for
the 1100R+ tester.
Learn Test
Resistors: 0.1Ω to 100KΩ; >100KΩ to 5MΩ
learn as links.
Resistors: 0.1Ω to 1MΩ
Capacitors: 400 nF to 100 µF
Capacitors: 5nF to 100µF ± 10% ±
20pF (relative measurements to 10pF)
Common silicon diodes
Zener diodes: Learn as a standard diode as
long as zener voltage > 4V
Note:
The tester does not learn or test germanium
diodes, Shottky diodes, and diodes in series with
some resistors. The tester recognizes these
components as opens and shorts.
