Description of Operation
The TDR 1150 can be
used on a wide variety of capacitive discharge devices,
commonly called “thumpers.” A high voltage coupler (also
available from Hipotronics) is required as an interface
between the TDR and the thumper.
Basic
Mode of Operation Basic mode provides the
simplest mode of operation for pre-locating most cable faults.
It provides step-by-step instructions and prompts the operator
through the operation of the TDR and thumper.
The auto range
feature fits the cable trace on the screen, regardless of the
cable length. The TDR automatically sets the “Start” and “End”
cursors, and provides a numeric value for the cable length.
The operator is then
prompted to send a single high voltage pulse down the cable.
The TDR displays the high voltage trace and places a fault
cursor at the point of the fault, and displays the distance to
the fault. There is no need to interpret traces or move
cursors. The entire process can be completed within minutes.
Training time is significantly reduced.
Advanced
Mode of Operation In Advanced Mode, the
operator has complete control of the TDR functions and
settings. It is password protected to prevent unauthorized
use. This mode provides more experienced operators with the
diagnostic tools they need to find more difficult faults.
TDR functions that
can be adjusted include: propagation velocity, pulse width,
gain, 3 phase or single phase display, and trigger delay. They
also have the ability to move cursors and adjust screen size
(zoom). Memory functions, measuring units, language choices,
the option to reset defaults, and much more are accessible in
this mode.
