With its 3M Dynatel 965DSP series, 3M Telecommunications presents state-of-the-art cable testing and fault location.
Due to microprocessor control, these multifunctional devices ensure precise analysis and assessment of analogue and digital transmission lines as well as accurate fault location. The available functions range from separate measurement of voltage, loop current, resistance and insulation to fault analysis and parameter measurement transmission, attenuation and noise-level measurements as well as fault location by means of a built-in measuring bridge or reflectometer.
Other optionally available devices include a spectrum analyser as well as an ADSL-over-POTS modem (ATU-R). Cable parameter surveys can be rapidly produced by automatic testing procedures for connected and unconnected wideband transmission lines. In addition to parallel display of the actual measured values, it is also possible to set limit values to obtain an ACCEPT/REJECT statement.
The Dynatel 965DSP series also sets new standards in operating friendliness:
The ergonomically styled instrument weighs no more than 2kg, yet it is packed with a multitude of features to greatly simplify all on-site work. Graphical user interface, together with context-sensitive support, ensure reliable, almost intuitive operation.
However, modern tools can do far more than just measure. For instance, the multifunctional instruments of the Dynatel 965DSP series can store the data of automatic tests and single-channel TDR measurement (time domain reflectometer). Furthermore, the integrated infrared interface can be used to transmit stored measurement results to a PC, thus significantly simplifying the processing and evaluation of the data to avoid additional local work costs.
The automatic 1342 Far End Device II (FEDII) is an optional accessory unit to support, among other things, existing automatic testing procedures. If the FEDII is switched on, it transmits sounds for attenuation measurement and short-circuit conductors in the required combination via remote control from the Dynatel 965DSP. In this manner, this very handy instrument will carry out measurements without the second man at the most remote line ends.
