TX2003 TDR Cable Fault Locator

The TX2003 Time Domain Reflector weighs only 350grams and has a range of 19,000ft fits neatly into the hand. With a 128x64 pixel backlight, scratch resistant display , the TX2003 provides accurate and easy to read fault locations on metallic cables. With a 3 Nano second pulse rise time ' near end' cable faults can be clearly identified without a need to supress the transmitted pulse. The TX2003 is housed in a rugged IP54 rated ABS enclosure so is suitable for outside use.

Using pre determined gain and pulse widths for each range setting and with only 4 control buttons, all major operating and setting parameters can be easily accessed. A 6km cable run can be scanned in seconds allowing the operator a view of the cable run and arrives quickly to the fault.

By using the TX2003 scan lock facility, the cable can be continually scanned or the trace held for closer analysis. To enable the TX2003 to test all metallic cables, four user selectable output impendences are provided 25 , 50 , 75 & 100ohm.

Faulty cables may be traced using the TX2003 warble tone feature, an oscillating tone is injected into the suspect power or transmission line and by using a commercially available tone tracing probe, the suspect line can be identified.
