See opens, shorts and cable length quickly and easily. This easy-to-use, competitively priced tester is three tools in one—a cable fault locator, a cable and wire manager and a tone generator with SmartTone technology. From just 'one end' of any two or more conductor cable you can measure up to 3,000 feet (915 meters). The TS100 cable fault locator lets you easily find the distance to opens or shorts on electrical wire, telephone wire, security wire and coax. Results appear as a distance reading rather than a waveform, so it's perfect for technicians unfamiliar with Time Domain Reflectometery (TDR). Locate and fix cable problems without pulling new wire or blindly cutting into walls. Intermittent faults are easier to find because the unit constantly measures while 'On'. The TS100 cable fault locator is perfect for inventory management of cable stock in trucks and warehouses and it can help you generate more accurate bids for jobs by quickly assessing needs and managing the cable stock with greater accuracy. When touching the wires together and momentarily shorting the far end of a cable pair, the SmartTone technology will change the cadence of the tone generated. This tone change you hear through the probe positively verifies the correct wire pair. Voltage detection in the unit will immediately sound an alarm if you accidentally clip onto an energized pair, up to 250VAC.
Fault finder with tone generator locates open and short circuits, measures cable length, helps isolate individual wire pairs, and detects AC voltage on the line
Works on any two or more conductor cable up to 3,000 feet (915 meters)
Instantly measures distance to open or any fault from one end of any cable pair
VOP (Velocity of Propagation) can be set to match a cable's specifications to optimize the accuracy of fault location and cable length measurement
Patented SmartTone analog tone generator with five distinct cadences for isolating individual wire pairs
Four-digit LED display for viewing readings
