Long Reach
15,000 ft maximum range
Simple Operation
4 way control
Technology
Well proven Long used technology Electrical, telephone and CATV industries. Increasing in use
Provide information on cable status much faster than other methods. Some industry commentators suggest that a TDR will be built into many instruments in the future
Product Uses
TDRs are typically used to find existing faults on cables and have more applications in related areas such as:
Defining and proving a cable installation Establishing a benchmark for future comparison Cable length measurement (installed and on reel) Locate and evaluate events such as splices and joints Detect Bridge taps
Additional Uses
Also research by NASA suggests that Aircraft Maintenance can be aided by regular TDR measurement TDR may be used to identify chafing of electrical wires on aircraft
Dual Cursor
With tagged cursor position
2ns Pulse
Allowing near end visibility
HOLD
Allows trace hold on screen Live trace overlay on Hold
Additional Modes
Gives control over pulse, gain
Input Protection
Cat III up to 300 Volts Cat IV up to 150 Volts TNV-3 systems
