To Test the CCI, connect the leads together and check
the LED response. If the phases are correctly
connected at both A & B
Then phase identification at C is
valid using a receiver at either
(not both) A and B.
If the phasing is correct at A but
incorrect at B then you will not be
able to correctly identify phases
at C.
If you disconnect at B using a
receiving at A identification of
correct phasing is possible at
both B and C.
