working principle&Product Structure

Basic working principle

Distance locating:

This device using TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry).When locating,low voltage pulse is injected into and spread along the cable until reach the impedance mismatch point.These points include the short circuit point, fault point,middle connector and so on.When reach these points,the pulse reflection will be send back and record.See Figure.1

Figure 1 shows a fault point in a cable, Δt is the time during transmitted pulse and pulse reflection is received,so fault point distance Lx :

V:pulse Traveling-wave speed.

Application

Fault determined

When cable fault appeared, pls first judge fault feather and broken lever. The TDR fault are divided into three kinds as below:

Disconnection fault: cable broken and communication

disconnect.

Crossing fault which is generally classified into three kinds:

grounding fault, self-crossing fault, and common crossing. During these conditions, the insulating layer was broken even touched to affect the communication quality.  

Defective insulation fault:

Choose testing range

To get complete testing waveform,the testing range should

be several hundred meters longer than the length of the cable.For example,if the cable is 900m,the testing range should be 2km.when found the fault point closer,reduce the range accordingly.

This device offer below six testing ranges to choose, 125m,  

250m,500m,1km,2km and 4km.

Press 1 or 2 button to change the testing range.Check

'basic function' for reference.

Pls notice that,the device test once automatically after once range changing.

The cable corn is entranced by moisture or water to reduce the insolation resistance.The difference between this and above crossing fault is this has a big resistance, common over thousand Ohms.  

In generally, for above first and second fault, it's easy to detect by pulse test, but for the third, user should consider the cable path, time of fault, range of the fault, environment and so on.

Instrument Maintenance Charge

Standard configuration is 6AA NI-MH battery ,capacity above

1300mAH is better. Dry battery is also ok if no NI-MH battery if necessary but need high capacity ones.

*Please notice don't put the battery backwards.
