Thank you for purchasing the TDR2000/2 cable fault locator. Before

attempting to use your new instrument please take the time to read this

user guide, this will save you time, advise you of any safety precautions

you need to take and prevent damage to yourself and the instrument.

The TDR2000/2 is an advanced instrument capable of identifying a wide

range of cable faults. The instrument uses a technique called Pulse Echo

(also known as Time Domain Reflectometry or TDR). A pulse is

transmitted into a cable from one end. Any changes in cable impedance

will cause a proportion of the pulse to be reflected. These reflections are

displayed as a trace on the instrument.

The TDR2000/2 can be used on any cable consisting of at least two

insulated metallic elements, one of which may be the armouring or screen

of the cable.

Dual inputs and large graphic display allow a wide range of comparative

tests to be performed between cable pairs and/or stored results.

The instrument has 15 memories, enabling test results to be displayed and

compared with “live or real time” results.

The download feature allows transfer of waveform data to and from a

computer, using the TraceMaster software, for analysis and storage for

future reference.

L2 Input channel 2

*Only test leads supplied with the instrument should be used.

Contrast: Display contrast adjustment allows the user to adjust the

contrast of the LCD Display for optimum viewing comfort.

Tx Null: Allows the user to reduce the amplitude of the transmitted pulse

on the displayed trace, allowing reflections close to the startof the cable

(normally referred to as the “Dead Zone” to be identified. Refer to the

section on Tx Null for further details.

MENU definitions:

Test Rate: This sets the screen update rate to once per second or three

times per second.

Pulse Width: This option allows the user to override the default pulse

width set by the instrument for a particular measurement range and select

an alternative pulse width.

(See the Instrument Specification at the end of this user guide for full

details on the pulse options for each measurement range).

Pulse Height: Three pulse heights options exist. 3 V, 5 V and 14 V.

14 V is not available when the instrument test range is less than 400 m.

Averaging: When trying to locate cable features when a high gain is

required, any noise on the Cable Under Test (C.U.T) will be amplified as

well as the reflected pulse. This noise may make accurate location of the

cable feature more difficult. To overcome this, the instrument has the

ability to average two or more results. Any noise will be reduced. Options

of 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x over-sampling can be set in the MENU.

Zero (ns): This setting enables the zero point of the instrument to be set

at the end of the test leads, so the test lead length is automatically

deducted from any distance calculation. The nominal zero point setting for

the standard test leads is 20 ns, however to zero non standard test leads

proceed as below:

1 Set the instrument measurement range to 50 metres.

2 Enter the MENU (key 11)

3 Set the Distance Units to ns.

4 Set the ZERO (ns) to 0.

5 Press the MENU key again to exit the configuration menu.

6 Select display mode L1

identify this point on the trace open circuit and close circuit the

end of the test leads and note the distance.

8 Enter the MENU again (key 11).

9 Set the ZERO (ns) to the measured time.

All measured distances will now be shown relative to the end of the test

leads.

Power down: Allows the user to set the automatic power-down to 5, 10

or 15 minutes after the last key press.

Display: Switches off the backlight after a pre-defined period, 1, 2 or 5

minutes.

Language: This allows the user to select the language required, from

English (default) to French, German, Spanish, Italian. Other languages can

be downloaded from the Tracemaster CD supplied with the instrument.

VF Unit: The velocity factor (VF) can be displayed as a ratio of pulse

speed to the speed of light, or as a distance per microsecond in either feet

or metres. Refer to the Velocity Factor section for more details.

Distance Unit: The distance to cursor measurement can be displayed in

metres [m], feet [ft] or in time, eg [ns].

50/60Hz Filter: If ON, a power supply frequency filter is switched on.

Battery Fitting and Replacement

For TDR2000/2

When the battery low symbol appears in the display window

the cells are nearly exhausted and should be replaced as soon as possible.

Use alkaline cells IEC LR6 (AA) 1.5 V or 1.2 V rechargeable cells only.

To install or replace the cells, switch the instrument off. Disconnect the

test leads, loosen the battery cover retaining screws and remove the cover.

Lift out and disconnect the battery holder. Replace the cells, ensuring that

correct polarity is observed (shown on the battery holder).

Incorrect battery cell polarity can cause electrolyte leakage resulting in

damage to the instrument

Refitting the battery holder is the reverse of removing it.

For TDR2000/2R, TDR2000/2RM and TDR2000/2P

When the battery low symbol appears, switch off the unit.

Connect the Battery charger to the TDR charger socket. Switch on the

Charger. Allow 14 hours to fully charge the TDR2000/2R.

TDR2000_2_6172-662_UG_en_V06.qxp 24/9/09 11:44 am Page 9

cursor to the start of the first reflection. To position the cursor more

accurately, press the ZOOM key (10) to zoom into the current cursor

position. The cursor is now fixed and using the cursor keys, the trace will

move relative to that point. The current zoom location with respect to the

whole trace range is shown at the top of the display. The distance is then

directly read from the display.

Notes

Cursor: All distance measurements are made to the vertical cursor. By

moving the cursor left or right the distance displayed will increase or

decrease.

Dual cursor: Enabled by pressing the SHIFT and CURSOR LEFT key or

SHIFT and CURSOR RIGHT keys. In dual cursor mode, the distance to the

active cursor is displayed together with the difference between the two

cursors.

If no significant reflections can be seen use the “Tx Null” adjustment to

minimise the effect of the output pulse on any potential “near end” faults.

(If no reflections can be seen, try shorting (or earthing) the far end of the

cable to ensure that you are “seeing” the whole length of the cable. )

The distance to the fault can then be directly read from the display.

NOTE: The distance calculation is performed using the velocity factor

(VF) set in the TDR. If this velocity factor is not correct for the cable under

test, the displayed distance will be incorrect.

USING THE TDR2000

Switch on the instrument. The TDR2000/2 will display the Megger logo for

a few seconds, followed by a trace. Set an appropriate RANGE and Velocity

Factor (keys 7 and 9) for the cable to be tested. Refer to ‘Velocity factor’

later.

Connection to Cable Under Test

Connect the test lead to the cable under test. Connection may be made to

a live system with a voltage to earth (ground) less than 300 V with an

installation (over voltage) category of III or lower. This means that the

instrument may be connected to any fixed wiring of a building installation,

but not to primary supply circuits such as overhead cables. A Fused Lead

Set must be used to connect to energised live systems. Refer to the

accessories section for options.

Measuring distance to fault

The Find key searches for the furthest major change of impedance.

This may be a fault or the end of the cable if this is a short or open circuit.

When found the event is displayed and the cursor placed on the leading

edge. The gain, zoom and cursor position may need to be adjusted for

accurate measurement. Note that Find does not adjust the Tx Null or

Velocity Factor.

Ensure that the total length of the cable can be seen on the display, and

that the range selected is correct.

To enable ‘difficult to see’ faults (small reflection) to be identified, the gain

of the instrument can be adjusted, key (8). With the gain at minimum

small changes of cable impedance may be overlooked. by increasing the

gain the fault becomes more obvious. Adjust the gain until all major

reflections can be easily identified.

Using the CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT keys (2 and 4) move the

Below are shown two typical trace displays. The left trace shows an open

circuit at 1.200 km away; the second, a short circuit at 1.200 km away.

TDR2000_2_6172-662_UG_en_V06.qxp 24/9/09 11:44 am Page 11

If the velocity factor of the cable under test (C.U.T) is not known, it may

be accurately established by:

nTesting a known length of cable, locate the reflection for the end

of the cable on the display. Use the shortest possible range setting.

nUse the ZOOM button to accurately position the distance cursor.

nAdjust the velocity factor of the TDR using the VF key (4) until the

TDR displays the correct length of cable.

nMakeanote the VF value for future reference.

The table of velocity factors in the HELP pages of the instrument is a

rough guide and in practice, the settings are subject to many variable

factors. By using the previous procedure on a known length of cable, a

more accurate VF can be established.

The measurement of the distance to the fault can now be made with more

confidence that the measurement will be correct. The ability of the

instrument to accurately measure the distance to a cable feature relies on

the velocity factor being correct, any errors in the velocity factor are

directly proportional to distance measurement errors. Hence, the

instrument uses the velocity factor to three decimal places to reduce any

errors.

Pulse Widths

As the RANGE of the TDR is adjusted (Key 7) so the duration of the

transmitted pulse changes. Each of the instrument ranges has a default

pulse width. The pulse widths vary from 7 ns to 16 µs. The greater the

range set on the TDR, the wider the transmitted pulse.

Atshortrange, a shortpulse width will have good resolution. As the test

range increases, cable attenuation prevents distant faults from being seen.

The default pulse width can be changed. To change the pulse default

INSTRUMENT FEATURES

12

Tx Null

Without the “Tx Null” control, the transmitted pulse would be visible at

the beginning of the trace, swamping any reflections within the pulse

length (the dead zone). The ‘Tx Null’ circuit matches the characteristic

impedance of the cable under test to produce an equivalent pulse.

Subtracting this equivalent pulse from the transmitted pulse effectively

removes the dead zone from the display and allows “near end” reflections

to be seen.

NOTE: In some cases, it will be impossible to completely null the

transmitted pulse.

Alternatively, using the L1-L2 mode, where L2 is connected to a known

good length of the cable under test, L2 is used instead of the balancing

circuit to automatically null the transmitted pulse. In this case only the

difference between the good line and the bad line will be displayed.

Velocity Factor

The velocity factor is used by the instrument to convert the measured time

for a pulse to be reflected, into a distance. It can be displayed as a ratio of

the speed of light (eg 0.660 = 66% of the speed of light), or as a distance

per microsecond in ft/us or m/us.

the GAIN key (8).

A recalled trace can be compared with L1 by pressing the MODE key. Press

SHIFT and MODE together to switch between displaying L1&M and L1-M.

The range, gain and pulse width are recalled and automatically set to the

stored values, and it will not be possible to change these when showing a

stored trace. However, the cursor can be re-positioned, ZOOM mode

selected and the velocity factor changed so that full analysis of the stored

trace may be made.

To exit trace recall mode press the SAVE key.

Downloading to a PC

To download the stored trace to a PC, connect the TDR2000/2 to the PC

using the null modem download lead, supplied with the instrument.

To set the instrument to data transfer mode, hold down the SHIFT key

(13) and press the PC key (6). The TDR2000/2 is ready to send or receive

data.

Run TRACEMASTER on the computer and set to receive data (refer to your

Tracemaster help file for full details). All stored traces will be copied to the

computer. The stored trace can be annotated and kept on file for future

reference.

width, refer to the menu section of this user guide.

Pulse Height

Three pulse height options are available: 3 V, 5 V and 14 V pk-pk, although

14 V pulses are not available when the instrument test range is less than

400 m. By increasing the pulse height the displayed reflections are larger

hence easier to identify. However, large pulse heights may ‘skip’ faults,

especially those close to the instrument.

Trace Storage (M1 to M15)

The TDR2000/2 has 15 memory locations, which can be used to save

traces. These may be stored for future analysis or downloaded to the

TRACEMASTER software for analysis on a PC. Each memory location stores

the graphical trace along with the test parameters, gain, range and mode

settings.

Saving a trace

With the desired trace visible on the display, hold down the SHIFT key

together with the SAVE key.

The display should display a memory location in the top left corner of the

screen and ‘SAVE MODE’. Press SHIFTand SAVE.

With the extensive dual trace and difference modes available to the

TDR2000/2, memory locations can be used as comparisons for live traces.

This is useful if the known good cores that would normally be used in the

L1-L2 mode are two far away from the C.U.T. Instead, a memory trace of a

known good cable can be compared against the C.U.T.

Recalling a trace

From any of the display modes L1, L2, L1&L2, etc, press the SAVE key. The

instrument will display the trace in memory location M1 or other

previously selected location. The range and gain settings are also recalled.

Toscroll through all memorylocations, press the UP or DOWN arrow on

To improve the accuracy of a measurement, numerous techniques can be

used, depending on the situation encountered. Not every situation can be

described, but the following points are effective and the most common

and easily implemented methods.

For accurate location and before undertaking any tests the route of the

cable under test should be known. It should be remembered that cables

are not straight as they twist/uncoil during installation and they are often

coiled at either end..

If the route is unknown, tracing it may also give you an indication of any

third party damage – however this in itself can be misleading!

Test the cable from both ends

When fault finding a cable it is good practice to take measurements from

both ends. Particularly in the case of open circuit faults, when the true end

of the cable is not visible. If the measurement is made from both ends,

then the combined answer should equal the expected length of the cable.

Even when the true end of the cable is visible on the display, the

reflections after the fault may be too obscure to analyse clearly. In this

case, measurement from both ends yields a clearer picture as well as

improved accuracy.

GUIDE DE L’UTILISATEUR

GAVERTISSEMENTS DE SECURITE

nL’instrument satisfait aux exigences de sécurité de la norme IEC 61010 partie 1 à 300V CAT III.

nBien que ce testeur ne génère pas de tensions dangereuses, les circuits auxquels on peut le connecter pourraient être dangereux en raison

des risques d’électrocution ou d’arc électrique (initiés par court-circuit). Bien que tous les efforts aient été faits par le fabricant pour

réduire les risques, l’utilisateur doit assumer la responsabilité d’assurer sa propre sécurité.

nPour l’utilisation sur des systèmes en service jusqu’à 300V, Installation de Catégorie III*, utiliser le jeu de pinces à fusible

Megger réf. 6111-218.

nSe rapporte aux surtensions transitoires que l’on risque de rencontrer dans les installations de câblage fixes. ATTENTION (Risque de

décharge électrique)

Fiche de 4mm sur adaptateur BNC:

nCette fiche de 4mm sur adaptateur BNC est censée ne servir qu’avec les câbles des réseaux de télécoms, elle n’est pas conçue ni prévue pour

un branchement direct sur une alimentation secteur sous tension. Cependant, en utilisation normale, elle peut être soumise aux tensions des

réseaux de télécoms (TRT) telles que définies par la norme IEC 60950 3ème édition (1999-04).

nLa fiche et la prise BNC sont, par nécessité, accessibles. La gaine extérieure de ce connecteur est normalement à des niveaux de tension SELV

(tensions ultra basses de sécurité) ; cependant, dans des conditions de simple défaut, elle peut véhiculer des tensions dangereuses.

L’opérateur doit donc vérifier que la fiche ou la douille accessibles présentent des niveaux de tension SELV avant de les toucher, ou bien il

devra porter les gants isolés appropriés.

nL’instrument ne devra pas être utilisé si l’une de ses pièces est endommagée.

nLes cordons d’essais, sondes et pinces crocodile doivent être en bon état, propres et sans isolation cassée ou fissurée.

nVérifier que tous les branchements des cordons sont corrects avant de procéder aux essais.

nUn jeu de cordons à fusible doit être utilisé pour se connecter aux systèmes sous tension. Se reporter à la section Accessoires pour les

options.

nDéconnecter les cordons d’essais avant d’accéder au compartiment des piles.

nSe reporter aux instructions d’utilisation pour plus d’explications et les précautions à suivre.

nLes Avertissements de sécurité et Précautions doivent être lus et compris avant d’utiliser l’instrument. Ils doivent être observés en cours

d’utilisation.
