DS1 RCV1/RCV2 Keys These keys are used to select
the correct receiver impedance for the selected
test location. The impedance selection is
indicated by the two LEDs above each key. TERM is
selected when the test set terminates the DS1
circuit. The TERM LEDs are lit. BRIDGE is
selected if a high impedance input is required.
Both LEDs are lit. The BRIDGE mode must access a
terminated cable pair for readings to be
accurate. This is the POWER ON default mode.
MONITOR is used for resistive monitor jack
applications. The MON LED will be lit. Note If
the MONITOR jack is not resistor isolated, use
the BRIDGED mode.
