 Invest in the right tool for all your technicians. The new TS®100 PRO Cable Fault Finder with PowerBT™ Bridge Tap Detect not only provides open/short circuit detection—to 8,000 feet (2.4 kilometres)—but is also a telecom technician’s first line of defense against bridge taps. Because bridge taps are a significant source of DSL network performance problems, they need to be identified and fixed quickly before causing customer attrition. The TS100 PRO can accurately locate multiple bridge taps in seconds on up to 3,200 feet (975 metres) of cable with the touch of a button.

 
Used by telecommunications, triple-play/voice, data, and video professionals, the TS®100 PRO also gives users a built-in toner with five different tones and patented SmartTone®for exact pair identification and reports AC/DC voltage from just one end of any two conductor wires, telephone wires, security wires or coax cables. This five-in-one cable short circuit tester is so affordable every technician can have one.
• Reports distance to multiple bridge taps up to 3,200 feet (975 metres)
• Tests opens and shorts up to 8,000 feet (2.4 kilometres)
• Patented SmartTone for exact pair identification
• Built-in TDR and toner
• AC/DC voltage detection
• One-button testing

Certifications and Complliance
Conforms to relevant European Union directives Conforms to relevant Australian standards IEC/EN61010-1 CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1010.1-92 + CSA-C22.2 No. 1010.1B-97, UL/ANSI 3111-1
Maximum Length8,000 feet (2,438 meters) on certain cable types, 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) on most cable types, and 500 feet (152 meters) on cables with high loss. The tester shows -Err if the cable is too long to be correctly measured.
Representative Maximum Cable Length8,000 feet (2,438 meters): CAT-3 Twisted Pair
8,000 feet (2,438 meters): CAT-5 Twisted Pair
6,000 feet (1,830 meters): 12/2 AC Wire
3,000 feet (900 meters): RG-6/U TV Coax
1,500 feet (457 meters): RG-174/U Coax
Minimum LengthNo minimum length (can read a bridge tap at 0 feet/meters). Minimum non-zero reading is 2 feet or 1 meter.
Length Accuracy±2 feet (±0.6 m) for cables less than 10 feet (3 m)
±5 feet (±2 m) for cables longer than 10 feet (3 m) and shorter than 200 feet (60 m)
+/-3%+/-5 feet (±2 m) for cables longer than 200 feet (60 m)
Distance to Bridge Tap0 feet to 3,200 feet (975 meters)
Minimum Length of Bridge Tap10% of the distance to the bridge tap. Dependent on the cable characteristics.
Measurement RateMaximum of 4 complete measurements per second, decreasing to 2 seconds per measurement based on cable size and uniformity.
VOPAdjustable from 20 to 99, saved in flash memory.
Test TechnologyTime Domain Reflectometry (TDR) with 100 Ω drive impedance, 6v maximum pulse height.
Cable TypeVirtually all two or more conductor cables.
Power4 AA alkaline batteries.
Reverse Battery ProtectionNo damage to the tester will occur if the batteries are installed backwards.
Battery Life35 hours (typical)
Low Battery IndicatorLED display alternates between LO and bAtt when the battery voltage falls below 4.5v.
Maximum Output Voltage4 voltage peak
Maximum Isolation Voltage250 volts RMS
Voltage MeasurementsRange: 0 volts AC to 115 volts AC; 0 volts DC to ±150 volts DC
Accuracy: AC: +/-1%+/-2 volts (45 Hz to 65 Hz); DC: +/-1%+/-2 volts DC
High Voltage DetectionAC voltage detected to 115 volts; DC voltage detected to ±150 volts.
AC voltage ≥90 volts or DC voltage ≥100 volts causes high voltage warnings to show on the display
SmartTone® (5-tones) Range7,000 feet (2,134 meters)
Toner Range52,800 feet (16,093 meters)
Tone InjectionApproximately 1 kHz at an amplitude of 80% of battery voltage. Variable frequency and cadence. Tone characteristics change as cable condition changes to “normal-open” from any other condition.
Impedance Range35 Ω to 330 Ω with auto-compensation within this range. Cables with impedances outside this range will not be properly tested and may produce erratic or incorrect readings.
Temperature RangeOperating: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C)
Storage: 32°F to 131°F (0°C to 55°C)
Humidity80% maximum at 86°F (30°C )
50% maximum at 104°F (40°C )
