Detail
The AHS7 is a high precision SSTDR, which is capable of finding faults (Opens, Shorts, Arc Faults) and length on active energy, COAX, telecom and computer cables up to 600 Volts. This device can monitor real-time live cables for intermittent conditions, capturing these “events” and reporting where and when they occur.
The accuracy is high, because the AHS7 uses the new Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) technology. The SSTDR offers a much higher accuracy than the "old" TDR technology.
The AHS7 can conduct a Fault Location (static) test or Live IFD Intermittent Fault Location (dynamic) tests, monitoring for intermittent faults (shorts, open, arcs).

Info
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology has been used over the past 50 years to determine various characteristics of cables like length, whether there is an Open or Short in the cable and the types of terminations or faults that exist and their location. The typical technologies that have been used over these years do not allow the user to work on energized conductors due to high noise caused by current and voltage flows. The Spread Spectrum TDR Technology (SSTDR) overcomes these limitations by using reflected multiple spread spectrum signals. Now, for the first time, cables can be analyzed in the field without interruption of signals, voltage or current. In addition SSTDR systems have the additional benefit of being able to precisely locate the position of a fault while cables are fully energized and connected. Accuracy of within a few centimeters over live cables is possible as well.
Being able to “shoot” live wires also opens up new possibilities for finding and fixing intermittent Arc Fault Conditions. Typically, these dangerous faults are difficult to find since they occur on cables in use. The SSTDR technology allows the development of live monitoring test equipment that can pinpoint faults along wires while voltage is present. Merconet will be at the forefront of this new capability. In addition to being accurate and usable on “live” wires, SSTDR technology can be applied using the latest microprocessor advances to produce low cost TDR’s for specific applications in all kinds of industrial and enterprise applications. Contact us to find out more about our on going OEM product development. Merconet is in the process of developing a complete suite of products using this new effective way to see down cables of all types easily, quickly and inexpensively.
