Cable Length Meter  
3. General Functions  
3.1 PWR Key and Auto Power Off  
Press the PWR key to turn the unit on and off. If no keys have been pressed, the  
Cable Length Meter powers off automatically after 10 minutes. The timer resets  
every time you press a key. In Tone mode, the unit will automatically power off after  
1 hour.  
3.2 Mode Key  
The Cable Length Meter operates in eight modes. Press the “Mode” key to cycle  
through the various modes:  
AWG/mm/mm2 mode: measures cable length in AWG/mm/mm2, feet/meters,  
copper/aluminum  
Coax mode: measures cable length, distance to opens, or distance to short  
Telco mode: measures cable length, distance to opens or distance to short  
Network: measures cable length, distance to opens, or distance to short  
Ohm: measures resistance from 0 to 635 ohms  
Tone: generates four different tones  
3.3 AL/CU Units Key  
The AL/CU key functions in two ways.  
Function #1: Press the AL/CU/Units key to select wire alloy type: copper (CU) or  
aluminum (AL). When selected, the ALor “CU” icon will light in the lower right  
corner of the display.  
Function #2: Hold the AL/CU/Units key down for approximately 1.5 seconds. The  
unit will toggle between “Feet” or “Meters. When selected, the “FT” or“M” icon  
will light in the center right hand side of the screen.

Cable Length Meter  
4.2 Pair SGL Key  
The Cable Length Meter can measure single- or two-conductor wires. Press the  
PAIR SGL key to toggle between single or two conductor. For single-conductor  
measurement, the unit is connected at both ends of the wire/conductor. For two-  
conductor measurements, the unit is connected one end of the wire and the other  
end of the pair is shorted (wire length = total resistance/2).  
SET LEN Key (AWG Mode Example)  
The Set Length function allows the user to change factory default ohms per feet  
coefficients values, based on a sample length of wire. Press the SET LEN key to tog-  
gle between the AWG Mode screen (Figure 4-1) and the Set Length Mode screen  
(Figure 4-2, below). In Set Length mode, the unit measures the sample wire’s resis-  
tance. Press the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the wire length from 100 to 200 feet  
(31.3 to 62.5 m). The smaller digits display ohms per feet, based on the sample wire.  
Press and hold the SET LEN key down for a few seconds to store the new coeffi-  
cients and override factory default values.  
Figure 4-2. Set Length Mode screen.  
Example: The factory default for 12 AWG copper is .0017 ohms/feet.  
1. Using the MODE key, select AWG mode.  
2. Using the UP/DOWN keys, set the AWG to 12.

Chapter 4: Using the Cable Length Meter  
3. Press the SET LEN (LEN = Length) key, and the Set Length screen (Figure 4-2)  
appears. In this mode, use the UP/DWN keys to adjust the larger digits to match  
the length of the sample wire (100–200 ft. range). If the sample wire is 150 feet  
and its resistance is equal to 0.315 ohms, the smaller digits on the left-hand side  
of the screen will display “0.0021 ohms/ft. (150 feet/0.315 ohms = 0.0021 ohms/  
ft.)  
4. To store the new value, press the SET LEN key for approximately 1.5 seconds. The  
unit generates a confirmation beep. The new 12 AWG length coefficient of  
0.0021 ohms/feet will be stored in memory in place of the factory default of  
0.0017 ohms/feet.  
NOTE: Restoring Factory Default Values. To restore factory coefficients back to  
their original values, hold the UP/DOWN keys and the Power key down at  
the same time when powering down the unit. Any previous values stored by  
the user will be deleted from memory. Table 4-2 lists the factory default  
values.

Cable Length Meter  
4.3 Coax, Network, and Telco Modes  
Coax, Network, and Telco modes detect the distance to opens and the distance to  
shorts.  
The Cable Length Meter determines the length by measuring line capacitance when  
the line is open or by measuring resistance when the line is shorted. When measur-  
ing opens, use the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the capacitance coefficient (10 to 40  
pf per feet) to calculate the cable length. The Cable Length Meter supports three  
user-adjustable length coefficients, one for each type of cable (Coax, Network and  
Telco). It stores these coefficients in memory even when the unit is powered off.  
Short/Resistance coefficients are stored in memory (see Table 4-2 for factory default  
values). These values can be changed by running the Set Length Function. The Set  
Length function allows the user to change factory default values, ohms per feet  
coefficients, based on a sample known length of wire. Press the SET LEN key to  
toggle between Normal Measuring screen (Figure 4-3) and Set Length Mode screen,  
Figure 4-4. In Set Length mode (line shorted), the unit will measure the resistance  
of the sample wire. Adjust the length of the sample wire using the UP/DOWN keys  
in the range of 100 to 200 feet. The smaller digits display the ohms per feet based  
on the sample wire. Press and hold the SET LEN key down for a few seconds to  
store the new coefficients.

Chapter 4: Using the Cable Length Meter  
Example: The factory default for Network wire is .0273 ohms per feet.  
Press the MODE key to select Network mode.  
Press the SET LEN (LEN = Length) key, and a new screen will pop up (see Figure  
4-4). In this mode, use the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the larger digits to match the  
length of the sample wire (100–200 feet range). If the sample wire is 150 feet and  
its resistance is equal to .315 ohms, the smaller digits on the left hand side of the  
screen will display “002.1m.  
To store the new value, press the SET LEN key for approximately 1.5 seconds. The  
unit will generate a confirmation beep. The unit stores the new network length  
coefficient of .0021per feet in memory.  
Figure 4-4. Set Length Mode screen.  
NOTE: Restoring Factory Default Values. To restore ohms per feet factory coeffi-  
cients back to their original values, hold the Power and UP/DOWN keys  
down at the same time while powering down the unit. Any previously stored  
values will be overwritten by the factory default values.  
NOTE: To obtain symmetrical test results for Shorts and Opens measurements, the  
Cable Length Meter must have the correct “capacitance per feet coef-  
fiecient” and “resistance per feet coefficient“ of the wire under test.

Cable Length Meter  
Changing Opens/Capacitance Coefficient Using Set Length  
To change capacitance coefficients, follow the steps above (cable/wire must be  
open) based on the sample wire (100 to 200 feet). The Cable Length Meter  
measures the total capacitance of the cable and displays the value in the lower left-  
hand corner of the LCD (the cable must be within 10 to 40 pf per feet range, other-  
wise meter will indicate OL).

4.4 Tone Mode  
To generate a tone on the cable/wire, select Tone Mode (see Figure 4-6). The Cable  
Length Meter has four unique tones. Use the UP/DOWN keys, to scroll through the  
four tones. The tones generated match audio frequencies used with tone tracers/  
probes. The signal generated on a pair is nominal 5 volts peak-to-peak across the  
pair. The unit will power down automatically after 1 hour.  
Available tones include:  
1. High tone 1 KHz  
2. Low tone 704 Hz  
3. Warble tones, low tone for 160 ms, followed by 115 ms of high tone

4.5 Calibrating the Test Lead  
1. Hold down the LEAD CAL key until the unit displays CAL. The unit will display  
CAL for a few seconds then display Shrt Lead.  
2. Short the leads as illustrated Figure 4-7. Once connected properly to the bus wire,  
press the LEAD CAL key again. The unit will beep and display OPEN LEAD.  
3. Disconnect the leads from the short. With the test leads open, press the LEAD  
CAL button. The unit will be beep and go into its normal operation mode. This  
completes the calibration procedure. This procedure must be done correctly for  
good measuring results.
