Introduction - Megger TDR2000/2 Guide De L'utilisateur

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the TDR2000/2 cable fault locator. Before
attempting to use your new instrument please take the time to read this
user guide, this will save you time, advise you of any safety precautions
you need to take and prevent damage to yourself and the instrument.
The TDR2000/2 is an advanced instrument capable of identifying a wide
range of cable faults. The instrument uses a technique called Pulse Echo
(also known as Time Domain Reflectometry or TDR). A pulse is
transmitted into a cable from one end. Any changes in cable impedance
will cause a proportion of the pulse to be reflected. These reflections are
displayed as a trace on the instrument.
The TDR2000/2 can be used on any cable consisting of at least two
insulated metallic elements, one of which may be the armouring or screen
of the cable.
Dual inputs and large graphic display allow a wide range of comparative
tests to be performed between cable pairs and/or stored results.
The instrument has 15 memories, enabling test results to be displayed and
compared with "live or real time" results.
The download feature allows transfer of waveform data to and from a
computer, using the TraceMaster software, for analysis and storage for
future reference.
