Cable Error
Messages
OPEN
The tester displays open if it does not sense an interconnection that should exist in the cable.
For example, if this is correct
and this was the error, the detailed error would be like this.
If the user preference Fault Location
were turned on, the open above
would be displayed like this.
An asterisk is added to the pin closest to the
open. The tester can do this by sensing the
lower capacitance of the unconnected pin.
Opens in a cable assembly are caused by:
Defects in the cable such as missing or cut wires, defective or uninserted connector
contacts, and cold solder joints.
Additionally, the tester could display an open error when:
A LV Insulation Resistance Setting is set lower than the actual resistance of wire
connection.
A Component Resistance Setting is set lower than electronic component in the cable.
