25. LV Live Cable Identifier FC5300
■ Functions of the LV Live Cable IdentifierFunctions of the LV Live Cable Identifier
Identification of Low Voltage live cables :
- In order to make a live connection
- Prior to de-energized operation
Didactic operating mode present on the modulator
Secured identification : The device indicates that it has identified the
cable through a cross checking of frequencies and signal patterns.
