Error Code Definitions
In this section a detailed description will
be given of the Model 93’s nine error codes.
The error codes are only displayed when
the Model 93 is selected for the channel
mode and an issue is detected. In the
channel mode the three conductors as-
sociated with a W1 channel are tested for
shorts, opens, and proper connectivity. All
the tests are made in relation to the pins
associated with the specific channel on
the W1 connectors.
E1: Open Shield and Pair
No connections have been detected on
the shield, signal low, and signal high
paths of the channel selected for testing.
The channel is completely “open.”
E2: Open Shield
No connection has been detected on
the shield path of the channel selected
for testing.
E3: Open Pair
No connection has been detected on the
signal low path, the signal high path, or
both the signal low and signal high paths.
E4: Reversed Pair
The signal path has been reversed or
“flipped.” The signal low connection on the
female connector end of the cable under
test is connected to the signal high connec-
tion on the male connector end of the cable
under test. And, as expected, the signal
high connection on the female connector
end of the cable under test is connected to
the signal low connection on the other end.
E5: Shorted Shield to Pair
A connection has been detected between
the shield path and the signal low path,
between the shield path and the signal high
path, or between the shield path and both
the signal low and signal high paths.
E6: Shorted Pair
A connection has been detected between
the signal low path and the signal high path.
E7: Incorrect Shield Connection
The shield pin on the female connector end
of the cable under test is connected to the
pin designated for signal low or signal high
on the male connector end of the cable
under test.
E8: Incorrect Pair Connection
The signal low pin or the signal high pin
on the female connector end of the cable
under test is connected to the pin desig-
nated for shield on the male connector end
of the cable under test.
E9: Channel-to-Channel Error
This is a somewhat general-purpose error
code. It indicates that one or more prob-
lems exist between the pins associated with
the selected channel on the female con-
nector end of the cable under test and pins
associated with other channels on the male
end of the cable.
