Fluke Networks Cable fault finder with PowerBT™ Bridge Tap Detect provides open/short circuit detection—to 8,000 feet (2.4 km) and locates multiple bridge taps up to 3,200 feet (975 m) of cable, built-in toner has five tones and patented SmartTone®for exact pair identification, reports AC/DC voltage on any two conductor, telephone, security wires, or coax cables.
Maximum Length | 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) on certain cable types, 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) on most cable types, and 500 feet (152 meters) on cables with high loss. The tester shows -Err if the cable is too long to be correctly measured. |
Representative Maximum Cable Length | 8,000 feet (2,438 meters): CAT-3 Twisted Pair 8,000 feet (2,438 meters): CAT-5 Twisted Pair 6,000 feet (1,830 meters): 12/2 AC Wire 3,000 feet (900 meters): RG-6/U TV Coax 1,500 feet (457 meters): RG-174/U Coax |
Minimum Length | No minimum length (can read a bridge tap at 0 feet/meters). Minimum non-zero reading is 2 feet or 1 meter. |
Length Accuracy | "±2 feet (±0.6 m) for cables less than 10 feet (3 m) ±5 feet (±2 m) for cables longer than 10 feet (3 m) and shorter than 200 feet (60 m) +/-3%+/-5 feet (±2 m) for cables longer than 200 feet (60 m)" |
Distance to Bridge Tap | 0 feet to 3,200 feet (975 meters) |
Minimum Length of Bridge Tap | 10% of the distance to the bridge tap. Dependent on the cable characteristics. |
Measurement Rate | Maximum of 4 complete measurements per second, decreasing to 2 seconds per measurement based on cable size and uniformity. |
VOP | Adjustable from 20 to 99, saved in flash memory. |
Test Technology | Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) with 100 Ω drive impedance, 6v maximum pulse height. |
Cable Type | Virtually all two or more conductor cables. |
Power | 4 AA alkaline batteries. |
Reverse Battery Protection | No damage to the tester will occur if the batteries are installed backwards. |
Battery Life | 35 hours (typical) |
Low Battery Indication | LED display alternates between LO and bAtt when the battery voltage falls below 4.5v. |
Maximum Output Voltage | 4 voltage peak |
Maximum Isolation Voltage | 250 volts RMS |
Voltage Measurements | Range: 0 volts AC to 115 volts AC; 0 volts DC to ±150 volts DC Accuracy: AC: +/-1%+/-2 volts (45 Hz to 65 Hz); DC: +/-1%+/-2 volts DC |
High Voltage Detection | AC voltage detected to 115 volts; DC voltage detected to ±150 volts. AC voltage ≥90 volts or DC voltage ≥100 volts causes high voltage warnings to show on the display |
SmartTone® (5-tones) Range | 7,000 feet (2,134 meters) |
Toner Range | 52,800 feet (16,093 meters) |
Tone Injection | Approximately 1 kHz at an amplitude of 80% of battery voltage. Variable frequency and cadence. Tone characteristics change as cable condition changes to “normal-open” from any other condition. |
Impedance Range | 35 Ω to 330 Ω with auto-compensation within this range. Cables with impedances outside this range will not be properly tested and may produce erratic or incorrect readings. |
Temperature Range | Operating: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) Storage: 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C) |
Humidity | Operating: 20% to 80% relative humidity Storage: 0% to 100% relative humidity |
Operating Humidity | 80% maximum at 86°F (30°C ) 50% maximum at 104°F (40°C ) |
Operating Altitude | 9,843 ft max (3,000 m max) |
