Product overview Simple operation 'Auto' gain and pulse width selection Ultra-fast pulse for end-near fault identification Trace hold function IP54 protection class ensures operation in real-world conditions Designed for use with all pairs of metallic cables The TDR500/3 is a portable single-channel time domain reflectometer (TDR) for fault detection in metallic cables. Compact and versatile, it supports all pairs of metallic cables, with a minimum resolution of 0.1 m and a maximum range of 5 km, depending on the selected velocity factor and cable type.
It is easy to operate and features four output resistance options (25, 50, 75, and 100 Ohms), with a velocity factor from 0.2 to 0.99 to meet various cable testing requirements. It also includes a trace hold function and a velocity factor range from 0.2 to 0.99, enabling flexible testing.
The intuitive control option, combined with a four-position control switch, provides straightforward operation. The 'Auto' option ensures optimal parameter selection based on the required range, facilitating quick TDR curve diagnostics.
An operator-controlled cursor allows instant fault distance measurement, and the trace hold function enables maintaining the trace on the screen, features not available on most other portable reflectometers. The high resolution, along with white backlighting and grayscale shading, makes the graphical display vivid, aiding in the identification of key events along the trace.
