CAMI CableEye HVX(-21) High Voltage/HVX Cable Tester: 152 Testpoints, Expandable to 512/1024, USB
With the CableEye test system you can easily test any cable or cable harnesses with your PC, for example for continuity, open wires, short circuits or miswiring. The CableEye cable tester is particularly suitable for cable production, research and development, maintenance, network technology and prototyping as well as for everyday testing in industry, event technology etc. With different connector boards and a flexible software for Windows the system "learns" your cables and then tests them. Choose from a wide variety of plug-on connector boards to mate with most standard cables, and easily mount custom connectors for unusual applications. The HVX versions allow the test of cables with higher voltages.
- CableEye HVX(-21) (CAMI-829A)- the high voltage/HVX test system for 128 test points, expandable to 512/1024.
- Store full cable documentation.
Print out cable wiring diagrams.
Print labels.
Log and print error protocols. - Visualize cable wiring: Automatically draw schematics from measured cable connections. Compare cables.
Easy testing of cable leads. - Plug-in connector boards, easy to install, for various connector types like BNC, RJ45, D-sub, ribbon cable/IDC and many more.
- Connects to the PC via USB.
- Easy-to-use Windows software. Can be set up for one-button operation to speed production testing. Unskilled operators need only to press the TEST pushbutton on the fixture to trigger an involved test sequence set up by the quality control engineer, with results automatically logged to disk for later analysis and report generation.
- Continuity test:
Detects open lines, short circuits and miswired cables.
Pass/fail test with a 'known good' sample.
Locate intermittent connections and identify their position in the cable. - Resistance measurement:
Testing of resistors integrated in the cable, e.g. termination, pullup/pulldown (depending on model).
Test of diode orientation. - High voltage testing:
Combines the CableEye LV tester with a high voltage module to provide insulation resistance and dielectric breakdown testing, adjustable in 1 V increments from 10 V to the maximum voltage permitted.
The HVX model tests up to 1500 VDC/1000 VAC or 2100 VDC/1200 VAC (resistance 0.1 Ω...1 GΩ or 5 GΩ).
Ramp up, ramp down, dwell time (same as test time), trip current, and trip delay (same as soak time) may be programmed for your specific requirements.
