Tracker Pro - TDR

Fault Location Detector

> > Tracker Pro

The Tracker Pro provides a rugged portable solution to locate cable abnormalities such as neutral corrosion, bad splices, shorts or opens in cables.

With an easy to use menu-driven display, the TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) can quickly be connected to a standard PC, or Phone Via Bluetooth to download the stored TDR traces.

Its advanced features provide a unique solution to detection of both gross and subtle issues in a cable system.

We believe in providing a complete solution to our clients and the TDR compliments the other MV cable diagnostic tools, such as Tan Delta and Partial Discharge. We recommend that whenever possible and applicable, all cables should be TDR'd before performing a cable diagnostic or withstand test.
