The display may tell you to “wait”
during the tests.
The results depend on the tests
you specified in the set-ups
earlier.
“Please wait.” You may see “AC
DETECTED, PUSH #

during a difficult test.
You can press the # (pound key)
to repeat the test.

This is the last used setup (start
here if coming from RFL setups
on page 22).
If the unit tells you to move closer
to the fault, move the unit and
straps nearer the fault and retest;
look for similar faults on other
pairs. Check good conductor
resistance; use only if good
conductor readings are 500 times
greater than on fault pair
(example: good conductor
readings = 45 M ohms and fault
pair readings = 90 k ohms).
Enter
Use the keyboard to
type title, and press
Enter to save it.
At the end of the test, the T-series
unit prompts you to store the
results. Press the # (pound) key if
you do not want to save them.
The default title contains the time
and date of test. Press the Esc
key to accept it without editing.

for more information on storing
and retrieving test results.)
