Fluke - 26500390 - Fault locator and Tone Generator

Model No :

26500390

Part Code :

2327536

Overview

The TS 100 cable fault locator lets you easily find the distance to opens or shorts on electrical wire, telephone wire, security wire and coax. Easy results in the form of distance reading rather than a waveform proves to be perfect for technicians unfamiliar with Time Domain Reflectometery (TDR) fault locator.

Features

- Three tools in one — a fault locator, cable and wire manager, patented SmartTone™ analog tone generator
- Instantly measures distance to open or any fault from one end of any cable pair
- Tone generator positively identifies pair
- High voltage detection
- Moisture proof
- Large LED screen and easy-to-use menu

General Specifications

- Power 4 AA alkaline batteries provide 50 hours “on” time. (Approx. 1 year, normal use). 5 minute auto-off if unit is not connected; 1 hour auto-off when connected. No damage if batteries are installed backwards
- Input protection 250 V RMS AC, Continuous or Intermittent
- Moisture If exposed to water, TS 90 and TS100 will suffer no damage. See moisture notes in Notices section of manual
- Impedance range Auto-compensation within 25 to 330 ohms.
- Cables with an impedance outside this range may produce erratic or incorrect readings.
- Maximum length The unit will display “-LL-” if the cable is too long to be correctly measured
- Maximum cable testing length 2,500 feet for the TS90, 3000 feet for the TS100 (can test longer on certain cables)
- Minimum length No minimum length. Minimum non-zero reading is 1 foot
- High voltage detection AC voltage > 5 to 15 Volts RMS will trigger High Voltage Warning
- Measurement rate Maximum of 4 complete measurements/second, decreasing to 2 seconds per measurement. Based on cable size and uniformity
- Measurement technology Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) with 50 ohm drive impedance, 6 V maximum pulse height. (Patents Pending)
- Tone injection Approximately 1 kHz at an amplitude of 80% battery voltage. Variable frequency and cadence
- Tone changes when cable condition changes to “normal-open” from any other condition
- Cable type Virtually all two or more conductor cables
- Temperature: 0º to 55º C operating; 0º to 70º C storage
- Dimensions: 7.4” tall x 1.5” thick x 2.75” wide
