Section 2 - Introducing the RapidTrace 1200
5
The RapidTrace 1200 is a hand held Time Domain Reflectometer
weighing only 350 grams with a 6km range and the capacity to store 50
traces with time, date, Vp value, impedance, cursor position and range,
saved data may then be downloaded to PC via the USB link using Trac
Xtra PC software provided. Historical data may be uploaded to the
RapidTrace 1200 for comparison with current measurements. With a 3
nano second pulse rise time giving a dead zone of only 0.5 mtrs near end
and cable faults can be clearly identified.
Using pre determined gain and pulse width and with only 5 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 this cable run, yet arriving quickly to the fault.
By using the scan lock facility, the cable can be continuously scanned for
the location of intermittent faults or the trace held for closer examination.
To enable the RapidTrace 1200 to test all metallic cables, 4 user
selectable impedance settings are provided, 25, 50, 75 and 100 ohms
with Vp settings of 1-99% or the equivalent in feet or meters per micro
second. Faulty cables may be traced using the warble tone feature, an
oscillating tone is injected into the power or transmission line and by using
a commercially available tone tracing probe, the suspect line can be
identified. The RapidTrace 1200 is CE approved and is housed in a
rugged ABS enclosure rated to IP54 and is suitable for outside use.
