TX2001

ISO9001 IEC61010-1 BS/EN61326 EN60950 CE Approved

TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOMETER & TONER
CABLE FAULT LOCATOR
THE LOWEST COST GRAPHICAL TDR / TONER IN ITS CLASS

F The smallest and lightest Graphical TDR in its class.
A Can be clipped conveniently to a tool belt.
B Easier and more convenient to carry and use.

F Combines the functionality of a TDR and Toner in one unit.
A Eliminates the need to have and carry a separate TDR and Toner.
B Saves on Money and Space and is more convenient.

F Auto ranging capability.
A Eliminates the need for the operator to manually change ranges.
B Speeds up testing time and therefore reduces down time and costs.

F Single shot or 5 pulses per second testing.
A Enable the operator to select appropriate mode for testing.
B Increases battery life and enables intermittent fault location.

F Variable Velocity of Propogation.
A Allows the operator to set the Vp (speed that a pulse travels along a cable) according to the cable insulation material.
B Ensures accurate fault distance indication for all types of cable insulation.

F Selectable Cable Impedance.
A Allows the output of the TDR to be precisely matched to the impedance of the cable under test ensuring all of the transmitted pulse enters the cable.
B The greater the transmitted pulse entering the cable the larger the amplitude of the reflected pulses, allowing greater fault distances to be measured.

F Selectable Cable Impedance.
A Automatically removes the launch pulse from the TDR display.
B Reduces display clutter and eases identification of cable faults.

F User selectable units of distance measurement.
A Operator can set the instrument to operate in metres or feet.
B Enables the distance to the fault to be displayed in the units most desired.

F Housed in a rugged, custom designed ABS enclosure.
A Capable of withstanding a 1m drop onto concrete.
B Makes the product suitable for real life field use.

F Housed in self-extinguishing flame retardant ABS case.
A The product will not catch light in case of massive overload.
B In case of accidental connection to a HV supply the operator remains protected.

F Ingress protected to IP54.
A Protected against the ingress of Dust and Water.
B Ensures that the product will not be damaged in dusty or wet conditions.

F Switched Mode Power Supply and Battery Management.
A 7.5 hours continuous use or 4000 hours standby from 4 AA cells.
B Increased battery life reduces the cost of ownership.

F Automatic power down.
A Instrument will automatically switch off after 3 minutes inactivity.
B Conserves battery life.

F Complete with Tool Belt holster.
A Protects the instrument and makes it easy to carry.
B Leaves the operators hands free.

F Manufactured to International Standards.
A Ensures Quality, Safety and Reliability.
B Peace of mind for the discerning customer.

The TX2001 is used for cable fault locating on virtually all types of cable including twisted pair, coaxial, and parallel conductor.

How?

The TX2001 transmits pulses of a known shape and amplitude into one end of a cable that travel along the cable at a speed determined by its velocity of propagation. Vp is a ratio of the speed of light.

As the pulses reach impedance changes in the insulation of the cable, indicative of a fault, reflections are caused that travel back along the cable and are identified by the TX2001.

The size, shape and general nature of the reflected pulses indicate the type of fault encountered, and the time taken for the pulse to be reflected enables an accurate measurement of distance to the fault to be determined.

Why?

Continuity and performance of service of modern communications systems is of paramount importance, and all new installations and modifications to existing installations must be tested to ensure trouble free operation. Additionally, in the case of a fault in the cable infrastructure, it is necessary to identify, locate and rectify the situation in as little time as possible, ensuring rapid return of the service.

These products are used by:

Electrical, Communication and Telecommunication Engineers and Contractors for testing cable installations as part of a routine preventative maintenance programme. In addition, during, or after work on, all new cable installations and modifications to existing cable installations, tests can be made to ensure performance criteria are met.

Personnel involved in the location of cable faults as part of a responsive or routine maintenance programme.

Electrical Inspectors performing quality checks following work on all new cable installations, and modifications to existing cable installations.
