Simple Handheld Operation
Warble Tone Generator
Velocity Factor From 0.30 to 0.99
Range to 10,000 ft (3 km)
Tough ABS Case
Carry Case and Test Leads Included
IP54 Environmental Protection
The Megger TDR500 cable fault locator is a cost effective, high specification hand held Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR), used for locating faults on metallic cables. Designed for the field engineer that requires a low cost solution to field testing.
The TDR500 offers all the benefits of Megger build quality and reliability in a high quality affordable package.
The TDR500 is suitable for virtually all types of transmission cable including twisted pair, coaxial and parallel conductors. The condition of the entire cable or selection is displayed graphically
Suitable for identifying and locating a range of cable faults from a few metres up to 3 Km on non-engergised cables. Cable characteristics are clearly displayed on the 122 x 32 pixel LCD display.
Operation of the TDR500 is simplicity itself. There are no multifunctional keys to confuse the operator, as each button has its own dedicated function. Just connect the test lead to the de-energised cable being tested, switch on the TDR and set the
velocity factor.
The TDR500 can inject an oscilating 810 Hz - 1.11 kHz tone onto the de-energised transmission line or power line. The warble tone allows the engineer to trace the faulty cable pair with the use of a commercially available tone tracing probe.
(Except where otherwise stated, this specification applies at an ambient temperature of 20°C.)
