Fault Mapper Pro® Telephone/Coaxial/Parallel

Cable Tester Graphical TDR

Model CA7026

The Fault Mapper Pro® Model

CA7026 is a hand-held graphical

TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer)

designed for identifying and

locating faults on power and

communication cables, given

access to one end only. The Model

CA7026 measures cable length,

and indicates the distance to cable

faults and terminations to a range of

11,700 ft or 3500m (user selectable),

for coaxial and other cables of two

or more conductors. The Model

CA7026 shows a reflection profile

of the cable under test as an

oscilloscope-like trace on a 128 x

64 pixel backlit graphical LCD. A

movable cursor can be aligned with

points on the trace; the distances

displayed will automatically update

to the cursor position.

The Model CA7026 has a

selectable impedance facility

allowing it to be matched to the

cable under test. This automatically

eliminates the transmission pulse

from the display, enabling easier

identification of short range faults

and terminations.

The Velocity of Propagation (Vp)

is adjustable between 0 and 99%

enabling accurate calibration to

the cable under test.

The Model CA7026 incorporates

an oscillating tone generator that

is detectable with a standard tone

receiver (see page 5), for use in

the tracing and identification of

cables.

Functional Displays

Typical Traces

The graphical display on the model CA7026 will display the waveforms associated with the conditions found

in communication and other cables. The cursor may be moved to the left or right to indicate the distance to

condition. Additionally, the Velocity of Propagation and the impedance is also displayed.

Tone Receiver/Cable Tracer

Model TR03

The Tone Receiver/Cable Tracer Model TR03 is a small, hand-held

tracer that will aid in the identification of tone carrying wires without

piercing their insulation. It has a self-contained amplifier and a rugged,

moisture resistant mylar cone speaker. When used in conjunction with

the tone transmitter function of the Models CA7024, CA7026 and

CA7028 wire tracing and locating is quick and efficient.

One button turns the unit on and, while it is depressed activates the

receiver. A volume control allows you to set the speaker loudness to

a desirable level. An audio output jack facilitates the use of an optional,

commercially available ear piece which inhibits the Model TR03’s

internal speaker. This provides quiet operation in office environments

while allowing the operator to hear the signal clearly.

Model TR03 used to find cables in a panel.
