Cable testing
Coaxial cables
and transmission
lines
behave like a capacitor when
open
at both ends. The LC102
can
therefore
be used to determine
the
length
of a cable or the
dis-
tance to
an open. That
is
done
by
first measuring
the capacitance of
one
foot
of the cable under test,
and then measuring
the capaci-
tance
of the entire
length.
The en-
tire capacitance is
then divided by
the capacitance per foot
to
find
the
distance to the
break.
Likewise, coaxial cables behave
like an inductor when shorted. So
the
LC102
can be used to deter-
mine
the approximate distance to
a short.
The inductance
per
foot
of
a
sample
cable
is measured,
and
then the
inductance
of the sus-
pected cable
is
measured. The
total
inductance is
then divided by
the
inductance
per
foot to find the
distance to the short.
Accessories
The LC102 is supplied with an AC
power adapter
/recharger,
and test
leads and an adapter to connect to
larger
components. It
also
comes
with
a test -lead mounting
clip
and
a
test -button
hold
-down rod.
Optional
accessories include
a
touch test probe,
a field
calibrator,
a
rechargeable
lead
-acid battery,
an SCR/triac
tester, a chip-
compo-
nent
test lead,
a bus
interface
for
the
IEEE
488 bus,
and a 220 -volt AC
adapter /recharger.
An
easy -to -use
component holder is
also available
that
makes
testing
a
lot
quicker
and,
at the same time, frees
up
your hands for
doing all sorts
of
other things.
We're
sure that the LC102
will
feel at home in your repair
shop or
research
and
development center.
Its
advanced features will
allow
you to
breeze through tests that
used to
take a lot more
time.
The
LC102 may
end up paying for itself,
by the amount
of time saved. And,
once you become familiar with
its
controls, you'll find
the
LC102
is
very
easy -maybe
even fun -to
use. Of course, with
a
suggested
retail price
of
$1895.00,
the LC102 is
an investment
for serious
trou-
bleshooting, not for fun.
