Component Errors
The tester displays a Component Error if it senses an error with an electrical component that
has been programmed into the cable test. The tester detects Component Errors during the
Low Voltage part of a cable test.
Bad Resistor
Bad Capacitor
The tester displays these messages when it senses a component with a measured value
outside the tolerance for the component programmed in the cable test.
Possible causes are:

The wrong value component is installed in the cable.

The correct component is installed but is out of tolerance.

The connection to the component has high resistance and therefore has affected the
testers ability to correctly measure the component value.
Missing Resistor
Missing Capacitor
Missing Diode
The tester displays these messages when it doesn’t sense a component where it should be in
the cable
.
Possible causes are:

A connection to the component is open.

The component has not been installed, is missing, or has a resistance greater than
1 MΩ.
Bad Diode
The tester senses a defective diode condition.
Possible causes are:

The diode’s forward or reverse bias voltage drop is out of tolerance.

The installed diode is of a type that is outside the measurement capability of the tester.
Reversed Diode
The tester displays this message when it senses a diode’s orientation is reversed.
Possible cause:

The diode is reversed in the cable.
NOT Twisted

Two wires that should be twisted are not.
No twisted pairs

The tester did not detect any twisted pairs in the tested cable.
Wires are paired incorrectly

A wire is twisted with the wrong wire.
