This tester is one of the most innovative products we have seen. It is a contunuity and polarity tester which enables one person to identify and label cables even on long cable runs with no additional help or trips back and forth.
It works by using a lightweight head unit, which when attached to cable ends stays on, and a remote probe with a bi-colour LED. To check continuity locally, this is accomplished by using just the head unit, which has bright flashing LED's and a loud pulsating bleeper. The clever feature of this tester is the remote probe, which can be connected to the other end of the cable run even over longer distances, and up to three wires at a time can be identified by using the bi-colour LED as a reference.
We use these units in order to save time and have found them so useful in matching up cables for termination and connection, connecting components correctly and data/telecommunications cabling. This is one of the most useful and ingenious testers you will ever use, yet amazingly simple to operate.
The remote feature works by driving a 20mA current pulse through the wires under test to the remote probe. This enables identification of the cables at the other end of the run and also eliminates the possibility of false high impedance readings.
This item, like all our testers is CE certified. If you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us as we are usually able to assist.
