Intermittent Errors
The 1100R+ Tester looks for intermittent errors when it checks a cable during the Intermittents
Test portion of a cable test. Intermittent Errors include the same short and open errors found
in the Low Voltage part of the cable test described in the previous section.
So what’s the difference between Intermittent Errors and Low Voltage Errors?
To be an Intermittent Error the tester must sense the cable wire pattern:
1. Was good,
2. Then changed to bad,
3. Then changed back to good.
Causes of Intermittent Errors
Intermittent Errors are caused by cable defects that show up only when the cable is moved or
wiggled during the cable test. The ultimate causes are the same as those described in the
previous section for opens and shorts.
