cable for extended periods while tracing takes place. 

8  Power supply 

Reflectometer TDR-410 is powered by four 1.5 V AA batteries. Use alkaline batteries to ensure prop-
er functioning of the device. Low battery is signaled by the appearance of the symbol on the screen of 
the reflectometer. 
To replace the batteries: 
- disconnect the instrument from any cable or network link, 
- turn the instrument off, 
- loosen the two black screws and remove the battery compartment cover, 
- replace the batteries with 4 x 1.5 volt alkaline batteries, observing the polarities 
- refit the battery compartment cover and refit the two screws 
 

9  Cleaning and maintenance 

 

NOTE!  

Apply solely the maintenance methods specified by the manufacturer  

in this manual. 

  

 
The casing of the meter may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not

The electronic system of the meter does not require maintenance.  

 

10   Storage 

In the case of storage of the device, the following recommendations must be observed:  
• Disconnect all the test leads from the meter.  
• Clean the meter and all its accessories thoroughly.  
• In the case the meter is to be stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be removed 
from the device. 
 

11   Dismantling and utilization
