Specification FAA GL- 918D.

16G.6 CONTROL CABLE TESTING. For continuity, shorts, crosses, and grounds testing, make these tests with both ends of each conductor disconnected from terminal strip jumper wires, surge protectors, and equipment. The tests should be as follows:

a. Continuity Tests. Make continuity tests with an ohmmeter at the near end of the cable. Temporarily short each conductor to its paired conductor, common connector, or to a shield or armor, at the far end of the cable. Record the meter readings. Remove the temporary short at the far end of the cable after each conductor or conductor pair is tested for continuity.

b. Shorts, Crosses, and Grounds Tests. Make the tests with an ohmmeter connected at either end of a cable. Test between all paired or unpaired conductors within a shielded or unshielded conductor group. Test between each conductor and its nearer designated grounding conductor, pair shield, group shield, cable shield, or armor.

For insulation–resistance measurements, apply cable rated dc test voltage to the conductors being tested with an insulation-resistance test instrument, and read the insulation resistance directly on the instrument meter scale. Apply the test voltage for at least 1 minute after the meter has stabilized. Apply the test voltage between paired conductors, between conductors of a conductor group, and between conductors of an ungrouped cable.

Apply the test voltage between each conductor and its designated common grounded conductor, pair-shield, group shield, and overall cable shield or armor. The resistance shall be a minimum of 50 megaohms.
