DESCRIPTION
The Megger® TDR2000/3, TDR2010 and TDR2050 are state of
the art, dual channel, high resolution, compact Time Domain
Reflectometers with a colour screen for locating faults on paired
metallic cables.
All TDRs in this series have a minimum resolution of 0.1 m / 0.3 ft
and a 20 km / 65 kft maximum range depending on the velocity
factor selected and the cable type.
Various output impedances are available (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 140
ohms, model dependent) and an auto impedance matching feature.
The velocity factor can be set between 0.2 and 0.99 to meet any
cable test requirements.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The TDR2000 series have a large, high resolution, colour, WVGA
display with easy set up features. Directional control buttons,
together with soft keys, provide intuitive and easy operation for the
user.
An AUTO selection option ensures that the most effective
parameters are selected depending on the range required, aiding
rapid diagnosis of the TDR trace. The ability to manually override the
auto function allows fine tuning to enable identification of hard to
determine faults.
Dual trace and dual cursor capabilities allow full flexibility, giving the
operator full control and instant indication of distance between two
points.
A trace comparison feature also allows close examination between
trace conditions. Extra high resolution together with a white-light
backlight, user definable colour schemes give the graphical display a
vibrance, aiding the user in identifying key events on the trace.
600 V CAT IV input protection
TDR2050 is the first TDR in this class to include a built-in 600 V
input protection filter. The ability to connect to potentially live
circuits means a more flexible instrument suited for a wider range of
applications.
Trace Storage
100 internal trace memories provide for the storage and recall of
test results. The traces can be recalled to the display for analysis or
compared with an active display to aid in fault location.
Alternatively the stored results can be downloaded to a computer,
via the USB port, using the TraceXpert software and USB lead
provided.
Step TDR function
The Dead Zone effect of a standard pulse TDR can mask near end
faults and make them undetectable. The addition of a step function
on the TDR2050 eliminates this problem.
Step TDR technology means that the signal is injected at full
strength and stays there until a disturbance is detected. This makes
step TDR technology perfect for detecting near end faults that
standard pulse TDRs can miss.
Distance dependant gain
This feature, built into the TDR2050, eliminates the drop off of
signal attenuation on longer lines by gradually increasing the gain
along the returned signal, enabling a more even representation of
the relative attenuation at all points along the trace.
Fault identification
Megger’s own built-in AutoFind mode allows for speedy
identification of faults. One press of the AutoFind key automatically
adjusts the range and gain, and positions the cursor to the first
major event on the cable. Press the AutoFind key again and the
cursor will jump to the next detected disturbance.
The same as the TDR2000/3 but with Trace Tagging and additional
Colour Scheme selection.
TDR2050
The same as TDR2010 but with the addition of 600 V CAT IV rating,
Step, DDG and FindEnd functions.
FindEnd function
TDR2050 also incorporates a FindEnd function, which allows the
user to automatically search the trace to identify the end of the
cable under test. This is useful in situations where a fast cable
length measurement is required.
For those who wish to maintain manual control, manual operation
allows full override access to refine the response for easy fault
identification.
Colour schemes
The very different light conditions that could be present when using
the TDR2050, combined with the limitations of eye conditions such
as colour blindness, makes the addition of set colour schemes in the
instrument extremely important.
TDR2010 and TDR2050 have 6 additional set colour schemes on
top of the Default and Outdoor schemes included on other Megger
TDRs. There are also 2 custom slots where the user can specify their
own scheme by setting up to 7 screen elements to their own choice
of colour.
Trace Tagging
TDR2010 and TDR2050 also incorporate a Trace Tagging feature
which allows the user to add a name to saved traces. This could be
the circuit ID, building name or any other identifying text the user
wishes to save with the trace.
