To do an Autotest
1 Attach coaxial adapters to the main and remote testers.
2 Make sure that the home screen shows the correct settings for
the job.
To make sure that other settings are correct, tap the test setup
panel, make sure the correct test is selected on the CHANGE
TEST screen, then tap EDIT to see more settings. Table 3 on
page 58 describes the settings.
3 Connect the testers to the link as shown in Figure 24.
WCaution
To make sure your results are reliable:
Disconnect all taps and devices from the cable.
Do not do tests through splitters (See “About
Splitters” on page 63).
4 Tap TEST on the main tester or press on the main or
remote tester.
If the tester at the other end of the cable is in sleep mode or is
off, your tester’s tone generator turns on the other tester.
If the two testers are not connected:
Your tester’s tone generator stays on so you can use a
tone probe to find the cable to connect to the other
tester.
Or, tap MEASURE to do the length and resistance tests,
which do not require a remote tester. Because the tester
cannot complete all tests, and the reflection at the end of
the cable exceeds the 15% limit for the HDTDR test, the
result for an Autotest without a remote is always FAIL.
