"long
range and high resolution in one TDR"
The
FaultCaster is a palm-top Digital Time Domain Reflectometer
designed to detect and locate faults on all types of copper cable
up to a distance of 20000m (6,000ft).
Fast-Edge
Step TDR technology enables the FaultCaster to identify opens and
short circuits, and directly indicate the fault distance on an alpha-numeric
LCD, with better range and resolution than existing products.
An internal library of standard cable types enables accurate measurements
on cables without the necessity of entering Velocity Factor information.
In the event that the FaultCaster is connected to a live cable,
a warning will be displayed, and an alarm tone sounded and testing
inhibited.
The FaultCaster incorporates an oscillating tone generator, that
is detectable using a standard tone probe, for use in the tracing
and identification of pairs within a cable.
It is housed in a tough, ruggedised ABS plastic moulding, water
and dust proof to IP54, and supplied complete with test leads and
a protective tool-belt holster.
The FaultCaster is designed and manufactured to international standards
for quality, safety and reliability.
