23 RFL (Resistance Fault Locate) Use this function to locate a Resistance Fault on a pair or on a single conductor . The function first shows two possible hookups: Separate Pair or Single P air . Use the [T ab] ke y to switch between the two hookups. Separate Pair: (This is the preferred hookup ) Y ou must first use the Resistance function to ident[...]

24 There are three possible hookup errors: 1) the fault is greater than 20 M Ω , 2) the Red/Green strap is bad, 3) the Red/Y ello w strap is bad. The screen will show the combination of errors that has been detected. Correct the errors and press the [Enter] key to repeat the hookup test. If no errors in the hook-up are detected, the 965DSP-B will[...]

25 RFL Single Pair Use the RFL Single Pair hookup when only one wire in a pair is faulted and a reference pair is not available. Use the Separate Pair hookup for all other cases; it is the preferred method. Y ou must first use the Resistance function to identify a faulted conductor in a pair and to verify that the other conductor is not faulted. On[...]

26 Press [T ab] to sho w readings in Ohms instead of distance. Press [Enter] to repeat the fault locate using the same Distance to Strap. Press [Setup] to go to the RFL setup screen.
