20 km range at VF = 0.90
Intermittent fault location
Large backlit LCD Display
Dual cursor measurement
"TX Null" technology
No blocking filter required
Output pulse amplitude and width control
The Megger CFL535F series are a state of the art, monochrome and color, dual channel Time Domain Reflectometers, capable of identifying and locating a wide range
of faults on metallic cables
The CFL535F series has a minimum resolution of 0.1m and a maximum range of 20 km at VF=0.9 and 16 Km at 0.65 VF. The CFL535F can perform single or dual
channel measurements on a wide range of metallic cables. Active channels can be compared with each other or with previously stored traces from memory.
Differential channel measurements are possible and cross talk between channels can also be identified.
All results are displayed on a high resolution, QVGA color display*. Full contrast adjustment provides optimum display contrast in a variety of
ambient light conditions. (*CFL535FR)
3 Configurations Options
The CFL535F comes in three configurations:
CFL535F Monochrome primary cell
A fully featured high resolution TDR with backlit monochrome display and powered by 8 x AA (LR6) batteries.
CFL535FM Monochrome rechargeable
As the CFL535F but with a rechargeable NiMH battery pack and charger in place of the Dry cells.
CFL535FR color rechargeable
As the CFL535FM but with a color high resolution display providing excellent trace separation in dual trace
modes. The unit is also powered by a rechargeable NiMH and includes battery charger.
Intermittent Mode.
An 'intermittent mode' continually updates and shows any transient reflections. Any intermittent fault leaves a permanent record on the display, capturing elusive faults.
Dual cursors.
The CFL535F can display either single or dual cursors. Single cursor mode displays the distance from the start of the cable to the cursor. In dual cursor mode the distance between faults can be measured.
Fast Find key.
One press of the find key automatically adjusts the range and gain and positions the cursor to the major event on the cable.
Tx Null.
Tx Null helps eliminate the 'dead zone' at the start of the displayed trace, normally obscured by the transmission pulse. By the adjusting the Tx Null the user can see these 'near end' faults more clearly.
Output Pulse Control.
Both the amplitude and width of the output pulse can be adjusted to provide the best possible reflection for accurate location of cable faults.
Interactive Help Screen.
A full graphical help screen is available with keyboard layout and individual key operation. At the press of a button.
Trace Storage.
15 internal trace memories provide for the storage and recall of test results. The traces can be recalled to the display for analysis or compared with an active display to aid in fault location. Alternatively the stored results can be downloaded to a computer, over the RS232 port, using the TraceMaster
software and RS232 lead provided.
Trace Master PC Software.
Trace Master provides download and upload facilities between the CFL and a computer. Traces can be individually selected, saved to a PC and annotated by the user. Historical information can be reviewed on the PC or recalled to the CFL for comparison with current measurements. Tracemaster is the ideal tool for cable documentation. Results can be printed from the computer for inclusion in documents.
Power Source.
The CFL535F series can be supplied as a standard battery powered unit or in a rechargeable version, as the CFL535FM or CFL535FR. Fitted with a NiMH rechargeable battery pack the CFL535FR and CFL535FM are supplied with the charger as standard.
Except where otherwise stated, this specification applies at an ambient temperature of 20° C.
