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.

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
