8、read this user guide, ultimately this will save you time, advise you of any precautions you need to take and could prevent damage to yourself and the instrument. The MEGGER TDR1000 is an advanced instrument capable of identifying a wide range of cable faults. The instrument uses a technique called T
9、ime Domain Reflectometry (TDR) which in many ways is similar to radar. Narrow pulses of electrical energy are transmitted along a pair of conductors in a cable. The pulse travels through the cable at a velocity determined by the insulation between the conductors and this resistance to the flow of th
10、e pulse is characterised as impedance for the cable. Changes in cable impedance will cause a proportion of the pulse to be reflected. The pulse velocity is normally described as a fraction of the speed of light and is called the Velocity Factor. By measuring the time between the transmitted pulse an
11、d the reception of the reflected pulse, and multiplying this by the speed of light and the velocity factor, the actual distance to the reflection point can be given. Faulty cables, poor joints or discontinuities will all cause a change in impedance. Impedances higher than the cables cause a normal r
12、eflection; Impedances lower than the cables cause an inverse reflection. Matched terminations absorb all the pulse hence no reflection will occur, the cable appearing endless. Open or Short circuits will reflect all the pulse energy and the TDR will not see the cable beyond that fault. 6 Introductio
13、n As a pulse is transmitted down a cable, the size and shape of that pulse is gradually attenuated by losses in the cable: the pulse gets smaller in height and more spread out. The level of attenuation is determined by the cable type, the condition of the cable and any connections along its length.
14、The limit of how far you can see is determined by the point beyond which you will not discern a reflection. To maximise the instruments range, the TDR1000 has an adjustable gain setting on its input to allow you to discern a reflection from farther away. By combining this variable gain with increasi
15、ng pulse widths, the TDR1000 can discern faults up to 3 Km away. The MEGGER TDR1000 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. The TDR1000 has internal matching networks to allow testing of 25 , 50 , 75 a
16、nd 100 cables. (These correspond to power, coaxial data and data/telecoms cable). The instrument can be closely balanced to the cable using the balance control; this allows long lengths of cable to be easily tested. The velocity factor can be adjusted to match the cable, thus allowing an accurate di
17、stance measurement to be directly read from the instrument. To enable a wider range of faults to be detected, the gain of the instrument is adjustable; this allows more minor faults to be identified along the entire length of the cable. Other setting options include changing the distance units betwe
18、en metres and feet, changing the propagation velocity units between a ratio and a distance per microsecond. Display contrast is fully adjustable to compensate for all viewing conditions. A backlight aids viewing in low ambient light conditions. The batteries to power the instrument are housed in the
19、 compartment on the case back, the cover is held in place with two screws. The batteries are held in a carrier, which hold the batteries securely, and allow a quick change of rechargeable battery packs. The instrument can be powered by manganese-alkali, nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteri
20、es. All cells must be of the same type. 7 User Controls and Display: The controls of the TDR have been arranged such that the instrument is easy to use and easy to learn how to use. The instrument controls consist of the following: 1) Instrument Display: The display shows the user the current settin
21、gs of the instrument and the reflected energy trace from the cable connected. 2) Balance: This is an analogue control which allows the user to match the instrument impedance to that of the cable under test more closely, thus enabling faults to be more easily detected. 3) Cursor Left: This control mo
22、ves the cursor left or selects a lower value depending on which mode the instrument is in. 4) Menu: This control is a bi-directional switch and can be used to navigate around the various control options. The control option to be adjusted is shown in reverse video and its name is displayed in the top
23、 left-hand corner of the display. Menu options are cursor, range, VF, V unit, Zo the second is a short circuit at 2000m away. 11 CURSOR0.67R 3000m2000m100 CURSOR0.67R 3000m2000m100 Balance Control Without Balance Control (point 2 in the User Controls and Display section) the transmitted pulse would
24、be visible at the beginning of the trace, swamping any reflections within the pulse length (the dead zone). The balancing circuit attempts to match the characteristic impedance of the cable under test to produce an equivalent pulse. Subtracting this equivalent pulse from the transmitted pulse effect
25、ively removes the dead zone and allows cable features much closer in to be detected. NOTE: In many cases, it will be impossible to completely null the transmitted pulse. Velocity Factor The velocity factor is the scalar that is used to convert the measured time interval into an actual length of cabl
26、e. It can be displayed in one of two ways: a ratio of the transmitted pulse speed to the speed of light, or as a distance per microsecond. When it is displayed as the distance per s (either m/s or ft/s) the velocity factor will be indicated as half the speed of the pulse in the cable. This is becaus
27、e the pulse in fact has to go along the cable to the cable feature and back again which is twice the distance to the feature. If the exact length of a piece of cable of the same type as the C.U.T is known and the reflection from the cable end is visible then a more accurate value can be determined:
28、Locate the reflection caused by the end of the known length of cable with the instrument set on the shortest possible range to see the end of the cable. 12 Locate the start of this reflection as described in the Operation section of this manual. Adjust the velocity factor until the correct cable len
29、gth is shown. 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
30、 directly proportional to distance measurement errors. Pulse Widths The TDR1000 pulse widths range from 7 ns to 3 s to overcome signal attenuation and enable the instrument to see further down a length of cable. In distance terms for the size of the transmitted pulse, this represents a transmitted p
31、ulse from as small as 1.4m to 602m! (This assumes a velocity factor of 0.67.) Without Balance Control, this would be an enormous dead zone, but with the instrument correctly balanced, faults can be seen well within the pulse width. As the measured distance is taken at the start of the reflected puls
32、e, the size of the pulse width does not affect the accuracy of the measurement. However, if the first feature does not give a complete reflection such that the instrument can see beyond it to a second feature, the ability to discern between features is affected by the pulse widths. If there are mult
33、iple features, the instrument can only fully discern between them if the features are more than the pulse width apart. Hence, for discerning multiple features, the instrument should be used with the shortest range, and so smallest pulse width, that can see both features (refer to the pulse width tab
34、le in the specification). 13 Techniques to improve accuracy To improve on the accuracy of the measurement, numerous methods 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 met
35、hods. Test the cable from both ends When fault finding a cable it is good practice to test the cable form both ends. Particularly in the case of open circuit faults, the true end of the cable is not visible. Thus, it is harder to estimate whether the answer obtained is realistic. If the measurement
36、is made from both ends, then the combined answer should add up to the expected length of the cable. Even in the case when the true end of the cable is still visible, the reflections after the fault may be too obscure to analyse clearly. In this case, measurement from both ends yields a clearer pictu
37、re as well as improved accuracy. It is also good practice to follow the cable route with a cable tracer, as not all cable runs will be straight. It can save a great deal of time if the exact route of the cable is known as faults will usually be found at points were human intervention has occurred, j
38、unction boxes splices etc. Care and Maintenance Other than replacing the batteries, the instrument has no user serviceable parts.
