PRODUCT FEATURES

2.1 Description

The Fault Mapper Pro®is a hand-held graphical TDR (Time Domain

Reectometer)designedforidentifyingandlocatingfaultsonpowerand

communication cables, given access to one end only.

The Fault Mapper Pro®measures cable length and indicates the length

and distance to cable faults to a range of 9 ft (3 m) to 19,000 ft (6000m) on

virtually any type of cable. It injects a series of pulses into the cable under

test.Thevelocityatwhichthepulsestravelisdeterminedbythetypeof

cable,whichisknownasthevelocityofpropagation(Vp)ofthecable.The

VelocityofPropagation(Vp)isadjustablebetween1%and99%enabling

accurate calibration to the cable under test.

The Vp value is expressed as a percentage of the speed of light (e.g.

67% or ft/mtrs/micro-second), this value will vary according to the type

of cable under test. The Fault Mapper Pro®can accept user selectable

valuesbetween1and99%(ortheequivalentvalueinfeetormetersper

micro-second).

Based on the selected Vp and the time taken for the pulses to travel

throughthecable,areectionproleofthecableundertestisdisplayed.

An adjustable cursor assists in locating faults and termination.

The Fault Mapper Pro® incorporates an oscillating tone tracer, which is

detectablewithastandardtonetracer,foruseinthetracingandidentica-

tion of cable pairs.

3.1 Accuracy

The CA7027 is able to measure distances to faults and cable lengths to

anaccuracyof±1%.

This measurement accuracy is based on the correct value of Vp being

used for the cable under test, and homogeneity of the Vp along the cable

length.

If the Vp is set incorrectly by the operator, or the Vp varies along the length

ofthecable,thenadditionalerrorswillbeincurredandthemeasurement

accuracywillbeaffected.

NOTE:TheVpislesswelldenedwithunshieldedmulticorecable,includ-

ingpowercable,andislowerwhenacableistightlywoundonadrumthan

wheninstalled.

CHAPTER 4

OPERATION

4.1 Principles of Operation

The Fault Mapper Pro®worksbymeasuringthetimetakenforasignalto

travel to the far end of the cable under test, or to an intermediate fault and

return.ThevelocityatwhichthesignaltravelsVp(VelocityofPropagation)

willdependonthecharacteristicsofthecable.

Based on the selected Vp and the measured travel time of the test pulse,

the Fault Mapper Pro®calculates and displays impedance anomalies and

their distances along the cable.

4.2 Accuracy and Velocity of Propagation (Vp)

The Fault Mapper Pro®measures distances to faults and cable lengths to

anaccuracyof±1%.Thismeasurementaccuracyisbaseduponthecor-

rect value of Vp being used for the cable under test, and homogeneity of

the Vp along the cable length.

If the Vp is set incorrectly by the operator, or the Vp varies along the length

ofthecable,thenadditionalerrorswillbeincurredandthemeasurement

accuracywillbeaffected.

See § 4.8 for setting the Vp.

NOTE: The Vp is less well deﬁned with unshielded multi-conductor cable,

including power cable, and is lower when a cable is tightly wound on a drum

than when it is installed in a linear fashion.

Correct measurement of fault distances is also dependent on the cursor being

positioned accurately by the operator.

When locating faults with the Fault

Mapper Pro

the cursor should be positioned at the beginning of the feature on

thecablewaveformasshownbelow.
