The CFL510G is a hand held, compact Time Domain Reflectometer for locating faults on metallic cables. It has a minimum resolution of 0.1 m/0.3 ft and a 5 km/15,000 ft maximum range depending on velocity factor selected and cable type.
Four output impedances (25, 50, 75, and 100 ) are available and a velocity factor between 0.2 and 0.99 will meet any cable test requirements.
The CFL510G has a simple selection option which, together with a four-way control switch, offers an intuitive operation for the user.
Applications:
This CFL510G is primarily designed for linemen in both the communication and power industries.
Specific capabilities include:
Telephony
Provides fast and accurate results when uncovering transmission related problems.
Designed to be carried on a linesman's belt and used in the first line of defense when diagnosing and locating cable faults.
Specific line activities identified by this unit include:
Bridge taps and splices
Presence of water in the cable
Opens in tip, ring, or sheath
Shorts between tip, ring, and/or sheath
Capacitive networks
Load coils
Wet splices and high-resistance splices
CATV/Cellular:
Ideal for testing the physical integrity of cables within a network. The unit is also capable of locating illegal cable taps.
Specific cable conditions identified include:
Bends or crimps in the cable
Cuts or shorts in the cable
Taps and splits
Water saturation
Power:
An ideal tool for identifying faults on secondary power cables. This unit identifies:
Burnouts in aluminum conductors
Good splices, wet splices, and high-resistance splices
