1000 Users’ Manual_04
ECL-1000 is suitable for measurement of cables such as coaxial, power
lines, low voltage UTP/STP, etc. ECL-1000 is a portable handheld
instrument. It has high measurement accuracy and safety level so it is
suitable for tough field environments.
ECL-1000 uses TDR technology. ECL-1000 indicates the length to a fault
spot in a cable. It also measures opens or short circuits with accurate
results up to 3km (9,842 ft).
ECL-1000 include these features as follow:
①
TDR measures cable length and finds fault locations such as OPEN or SHORT
② Auto V.O.P function
③ Auto Impedance matching
④ Auto Power Off
⑤ High Resolution & Accuracy
⑥ 48V Input protection
⑦ Long Lasting Operation (30,000 times with backlight)
⑧ LCD with Backlight
⑨ Ultra-Light (180g with batteries)
⑩ Low Battery indication
⑪ Soft Carrying Case with Belt Clip (Velcro), Batteries and Test Lead

V.O.P is velocity rate that through speed of light velocity and cable by
permission to pursue so cable’s length is calculated by using V.O.P.
To get the most accurate measurements of the length of a cable or the
distance to a fault, set the velocity of propagation (V.O.P) to the correct
value for the cable. You can set the V.O.P to a known value, or you can use
the AUTO V.O.P function to find the V.O.P for a known length of cable.

② You can adjust your V.O.P value with Navigation buttons.
③ After adjustment, click to save. Cursor will move to save position.
④ You can choose your V.O.P value position with Navigation
buttons.
⑤ After set, click to save position.

① Before test, prepare a cable which you have known the length of
cable.
② Press & hold to activate the configuration mode.
③ Choose “AUTO VOP” and click see
[Figure 10].
④ Adjust your length and click , Instrument will calculate the V.O.P
of the cable.
