Fluke DTX-ELT User Manual

DTX-ELT CableAnalyzer

The Gold Standard in cable certification now configured to
meet the specific needs of electrical installers

The DTX advantage: speed,

performance and accuracy

The DTX CableAnalyzer’s powerful fea-

tures, speed and ease-of-use, increases

efficiency and productivity, improving

your bottom line. It’s all about time –

and no other tester delivers like the DTX.

Increase productivity from day •

one. Intuitive interface means

your technicians spend less

time in training and more

time testing.

Level IV Accuracy.• Get the

most accurate test results in

the shortest possible time.

Advanced time-saving •

diagnostics. Pinpoints the

location of a failure and is

the only tester that suggests

corrective action, saving

troubleshooting time.

12-hour battery life.• Gives you

the power to complete any job.

Professional reporting.•

LinkWare™ Cable Test Manage-

ment Software manages test

results and produces reports in

hardcopy or PDF format.

The DTX Series future-proofs •

your investment, giving you a

clear and simple upgrade path

from the DTX-ELT to any higher

performance model, including

the DTX-1800.

Certification made easy

The DTX-ELT gives you a solution that

streamlines every aspect of the certification

job – from setup, to testing and record-fast

troubleshooting, to reporting results to the

customer. This newest member of Fluke

Networks DTX CableAnalyzer family, the

DTX-ELT is designed to meet the specific

needs of electrical installers.

Troubleshooting: twice as fast

When a link fails, the DTX-ELT shows you

easy-to-understand directions to identify the

point of failure (distance from the tester) and

the possible reason(s) for the failure. These

directions not only tell you the problem, but

identify corrective actions you can take to

solve the problem quickly.

Instead of spending time executing trial and

error corrections – and re-testing to find out

whether the problem has been resolved – the

technician knows exactly where to look and

what to do to fix the failing link. Even if only

two percent of the tested links fail, the DTX

diagnostics will save you as much as two

hours of labor per day to turn the failures

into passes.

Enhanced user experience

The DTX-ELT isn’t just a faster way to test.

It cuts set-up, training and reporting times.

Extended battery life means you can do more

on a single charge. And a bright color display,

ample memory, and built-in talk set all con-

tribute to overall productivity while enhanc-

ing the user experience. This all adds up to

saving you time and money every day.
