Megger TDR500/3 Basic Handheld Time Domain Reflectometer
Using a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) is a common way to find faults in metal power or data cables. The Megger TDR500/3 is a handheld device designed to locate faults in metallic cables. This TDR has a resolution of 0.1 m and a maximum range of 5 km (depending on the cable type and velocity factor).
TDR500/3 offers 4 output impedance options:
- 25 Ω
- 50 Ω
- 75 Ω
- 100 Ω
The Megger TDR500/3 is an easy-to-use, handheld Time Domain Reflectometer designed for quick and accurate cable fault detection. Featuring a 4-way control switch and simple selection options, the Megger TDR500/3 is perfect for technicians looking to efficiently diagnose faults on metallic cables.
It supports velocity factors between 0.2 and 0.99, making it adaptable to various cable test requirements.
The AUTO selection feature automatically adjusts to the most effective parameters based on the required range, ensuring fast and accurate diagnostics.
A clear, operator-controlled cursor enables instant fault location measurement, while the extra high-resolution LCD display (256 x 128) with white backlighting and adjustable contrast ensures clear visuals.
With a resolution as fine as 0.1 meters, the Megger TDR500/3 offers precision fault detection for use on Telecom TNV-3 circuits and 150V CAT IV power circuits.
Additional features include environmental protection to IP54, a 2ns pulse for near-end fault detection, and the ability to display distance in meters or feet. Powered by five AA (LR6) primary cells, this rugged device is designed to meet the needs of field technicians and provide reliable performance on all your cable testing needs.
