CableEye^® Cable Testers for Continuity and Full Harness Testing

Checks continuity, tests for opens, shorts, miswires and intermittence, checks wire resistance down to 0.1 Ω and isolation up to 5 MΩ. 128 test points plus 24 accessory test points, expandable to 2560 (+24) test points by adding expansion modules. Includes probe.

The M3Z differs from the M2Z in that the M3Z:

• employs a different electronic design,
• is expandable to 2560 test points,
• allows resistance measurement to be made, so you can check the quality of your connections as well as the value of embedded resistors, and
• allows measurement of diodes, complex networks, and backplane applications.

This item comprises a 128-point control module with a probe port and electronics that enable testing of cables with up to 64 conductors.

The price includes a probe, operating software, power module, USB cable, Getting Started Guide, Software Introduction Booklet, User’s Manual (PDF), and two-year Product Support Subscription.

Ships calibrated with a Certificate of Calibration. A computer is required and not included. USB interface. Ready to use.

CableEye Models M3Z and M4 look identical on the outside. Internally, M4, shown below, uses a different circuit board that enables it to measure capacitance and, through that, to report twist pairing, length-to-break, etc.

Checks continuity, tests for opens, shorts, miswires and intermittence, checks wire resistance down to 0.1 Ω and isolation up to 1 GΩ. Checks for insulation resistance and dielectric breakdown up to 1500Vdc or 1000Vac. External terminals available for high voltage testing on transformers and other electrical components. 128 test points plus 24 accessory test points for LV tests, 128 test points for HV tests. Expandable to 1024 (+24) test points. Includes probe.

A CableEye HVX-series test system combines our low-voltage circuitry with a high-voltage module to perform insulation resistance and dielectric breakdown testing, adjustable in 1V increments from 10V to the maximum permitted voltage.

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.

HVX series systems operate as a low-voltage tester, and then optionally perform a hipot test up to the voltage limit required.

Many safety protections have been built into the system, including a fast-trip 1.5 mA current limit, a manual high-voltage enable function at startup, and login control by the system administrator to ensure that every User has been properly trained before their login name is granted access to high-voltage testing.

Checks continuity, tests for opens, shorts, miswires and intermittence, checks wire resistance down to 0.1 Ω and isolation up to 5 GΩ. Checks for insulation resistance and dielectric breakdown up to 2100Vdc or 1200Vac. External terminals available for high-voltage testing of transformers and other electrical components. 128 test points plus 24 accessory test points for LV tests, 128 test points for HV tests. Expandable to 1024 (+24) test points. Includes probe.

Featuring both low- and high-voltage subsystems, the automation-ready HVX series enables expanded testing of insulation resistance, dielectric breakdown, and Zener diode breakdown voltage. Optional Add-Ons provide precision resistance measurement (Items 832, 833), twisted-pair checks (Item 833), and high-isolation resistance measurement at very low voltages (Item 825). The Advanced Measurements option provides increased (x5) 2-wire resistance resolution, and the measurement of capacitors, wire pair capacitance, twisted pair testing, length to fault (open/short), and cable length.

Test small cables to large harnesses, backplanes, and complex networks. After checking for opens, shorts, miswires, and resistance limits, the system applies a user-selectable voltage to each connection group in the cable – from 10V to the maximum DC/AC voltage. Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Dwell Time (Test Time), Trip Current, and Trip Delay (Soak Time) are adjustable. Leakage Current detected during the high voltage test phase provides a measure of insulation quality. Insulation resistance up to 1 GΩ or 5 GΩ may be recorded. Any leakage current exceeding a preset limit reveals the presence of moisture, flux, or other contamination on exposed contacts. Leakage measurements of 10GΩ isolation at a test voltage of 100Vdc can be made with the Instrument Integration option.

Low-voltage resistance thresholds can be set for contact resistance as low as 0.1Ω and for isolation as high as 5MΩ. Measure embedded resistors from 100Ω to 1MΩ with 1% accuracy, and with lesser accuracy from 0.1Ω to 5MΩ. LV measurement takes less than 0.5s.

Robust hardware includes: A TEST pushbutton with READY, PASS, and FAIL indicators for one-button operation; Signal remote control and test probe sockets; External Terminals for insulation testing on chassis, panels, and individual components; Industry-standard 64-pin dual-row latch headers for easy interface to external test fixtures of your own design for custom applications; USB Communication; and a rugged, 1/16”-thick aluminium case with scratch-proof Lexan surface for long life in an industrial environment.

Simple in-built scripting permits production-testing automation from test through reports and labelling: Set up pop-up Work Instructions; program optional external relay boards to switch diverter gates, lock & release latches, and more; program READY, PASS & FAIL signals to operate tower lights, LEDs, audible tones, label printers etc.; use optional API & LabView interfaces for integration with other equipment.

HVX series testers help users comply with the A620 industry standard. Archival-quality reports show user-selected test parameters such as test voltage, leakage current, and insulation resistance for each wire group, and denote PASS or FAIL.

The system employs numerous measures to ensure operator safety. Each login name must have system administrator authorisation to enable the high voltage function. Once logged in, the operator must confirm awareness of the presence of high voltage by pressing a hardware-enable button for that test session. During testing, a bright red light bar turns on when high voltage is present. If desired, remote test and stop switches are available. Finally, a test current exceeding the maximum 1.5 mA causes the test to halt automatically and the voltage to drop.

Control Module Price Includes: Expandable 128-point tester; probe; installation drive with software and documentation (Getting Started Guide, Software Introduction, User’s Manual); two-year Product Support Subscription, including free software upgrades, tech support, and warranty.
