FEATURES
The Klein Tools Ranger™ TDR is a portable time domain refl ectometer
(TDR) and voice-data-video cable tester. It measures cable length,
calibrates Nominal Velocity of Propagation (NVP) values, fi nds faults in
cables, and provides built-in tone generation for cable tracing.
•
±1% and ±3 ft (1 m) length accuracy.
•
Stores up to two NVP values.
•
Displays length reading in feet or meters.
•
Extra large seven-segment, back-lit LCD screen.
•
Tests most types of copper cable including data, voice, video, lamp
wire, siamese, and NM cables.
•
Discovers NVP values for cables with known length.
•
Automatic pre-test voltage checks.
•
Identifi es cable faults.
•
Tone generator with selectable tone cadence to easily trace cables
with an analog tone probe (not included).
•
Conserves power and supports long battery life with auto power off.
