Four Simple Cable Testing Steps:
1.) Hipot Test - use this mode to indentify if a cable fault is present
2.) Low Voltage TDR - use this mode to determine overall length of cable
3.) High Voltage TDR - use this mode to determine exact distance to cable fault
4.) Cycle Mode (Thumper) - use this mode to repeatedly apply hipot voltage to create audible thump or crack at the fault which can help to precisly locate fault
• Automatic identification of key cable parameters (cable length and distance to fault)
• Quick location of faults
• Accessible memory locations for internal trace storage
• Large LCD display designed with a trans-reflective film for use in direct sunlight
• Automatic setup of sampling rate, gain and pulse width
• Intuitive, step-by-step Instructions ensures ease of operation
• Large, easy-to-use push buttons can be used with gloves on!
• Proof Tester 500V to 10kV DC variable output
Benefits
• Safety – Isolated return & all front panel parts securely grounded for safe operation of the unit
• Multi-Purpose Device - has ability to pre-locate, locate and diagnose cable faults
• Easy to Use - device walks user through test procedure; in 5 easy steps you’ve located the fault
• Serial Port – allows for waveform download and evaluation of test results
• Reduce Outage Time - by quickly locating cable faults you reduce outage time and get power back to your customers sooner
• Reduce Cable Damage - using a TDR reduces thumping and therefore damage to the cable
