Fault Mapper Pro Model CA7026
CHAPTER 2
PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The Fault Mapper Pro is a hand-held graphical TDR (Time Domain Reflec
-
tometer) designed for identifying and locating faults on power and com
-
munication cables, given access to one end only.
The Fault Mapper Pro measures cable length and indicates the distance
to cable faults to a range of 11700 ft (3500m) on virtually any type of cable.
The Fault Mapper Pro shows a reflection profile of the cable under test as
an oscilloscope-like trace on a 128 x 64 pixel Graphical LCD. A movable
cursor can be aligned with faults and the distances read off.
The Fault Mapper Pro has a selectable impedance facility allowing it to be
matched to the cable under test. This automatically eliminates the trans-
mission pulse from the display, enabling easier identification of short range
faults.
The Velocity of Propagation (Vp) is adjustable between 0% and 99%
enabling accurate calibration to the cable under test.
The Fault Mapper Pro incorporates an oscillating tone tracer, which is
detectable with a standard tone tracer, for use in the tracing and identifica
-
tion of cable pairs.
