Megger TDR500 Cable Fault Locator

The Megger QualiFyr TDR500 Cable Fault Locator breaks new ground as a cost effective high specification hand held Time Domain Reflectometer for locating faults on non-energised metallic cables. The TDR500 offers all the benefits of Megger build quality and reliability in a high quality affordable package that is perfect for in the field testing. The cable fault locator is suitable for use on virtually all types of transmission cable including twisted pair, coaxial and parallel conductors with the condition of the entire cable or section displayed graphically on the LCD screen. Suitable for identifying and locating a range of cable faults from a few metres up to 3km on non-energised cables. Operation of the TDR500 couldn't be simpler, with each button dedicated to its own function. Simply connect the test lead to the de-energised cable, turn the TDR on and set the Velocity Factor. The QualiFyr TDR500 also has a cable route tracing facility. The device can inject an oscillating 810 Hz/1.11 kHz tone onto the de-energised transmission line or power line. The warble tone allows the engineer to trace the faulty cable pair with the use of a commercially available tone tracing probe.
