Fiber Optic Visual Fault Finder

Find Trouble in Fiber Cabling or Connectors

Easy Fault Locating

The 170XL visual fault locator is an indispensable tool for quickly identifying bending losses and breaks in optical fibers. If a fiber is bent too tightly, red laser light will be seen escaping through the cable jacket. Likewise if a fiber is broken, escaping light will be visible where the break is located.

Identifying Bad Connectors

Connectors are easily tested using the 170XL visual fault locator. A fiber broken inside or past the ferrule will cause it to glow. If the whole connector glows, it is a defective connector. If the end face polish of the connector is bad, light will be reflected internally.

Features

• Continuous wave output mode for steady fault location
• Find breaks to 3km
• Blinking output mode increases viewing contrast
• Easy-to-use quick interface fits all 2.5mm connector interfaces (FC, SC, ST)
• 1.0mW output power
• Ergonomic rotary switch permits easy one-handed operation
• Rugged, compact and splash proof aluminum design
• Two AA batteries provide 48 hours continuous operation
• Nylon belt holster included

Circuit Breaker Finder

Making circuit breaker identification faster, safer and easier.

Greenlee proudly introduces two new circuit breaker finders to the circuit testing family. The CS-2072 Circuit Breaker Finder and CS-2072K Circuit Breaker Finder Kit provide the electrical worker with two choices when seeking a product to identify circuit breakers. The CS-2072 Circuit Breaker Finder is a compact two piece design where the receiver conveniently snaps into the transmitter for easy storage. The CS-2072 Circuit Breaker Finder quickly and easily allows one person to determine which breaker controls a specific circuit. Once the correct breaker is identified, the electrical worker can turn off power and work on just that circuit without turning off power to other circuits. The CS-2072 Circuit Breaker Finder is perfect for residential and light commercial applications.

For the electrical worker who is looking for more versatility, the CS-2072K Circuit Breaker Finder Kit is the solution. The CS-2072K Circuit Breaker Finder Kit is a complete circuit-finding tool fit for locating circuit breakers in residential, commercial and industrial environments. The CS-2072K Circuit Breaker Finder Kit comes with the transmitter, receiver, clips, light socket adapter, blades and plug adapter. The blades included with the kit allow easy access to most outlets, including 230 and 240 volts. The receiver has automatic sensitivity adjustment which means no knobs or dials! The electrical worker will easily know when the receiver has identified the correct breaker because a green LED will light up indicating a positive match.

With so many options in circuit breaker finders, why not select the CS-2072 Circuit Breaker Finder or CS-2072K Circuit Breaker Finder Kit. Both items are backed by Greenlee's Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Applications

The Sidekick 7B is the test set used in every major telephone company in the United States to troubleshoot twisted pair applications. This lightweight, hand-held meter quickly and accurately uncovers intermittent troubles that other test sets can't detect. Since the introduction of the patented Stress Test and Leakage Test in 1991, the Sidekick has become a benchmark in communications technology. Technicians now have the versatility to identify faults in locations ranging from outside plant cable to inside wiring, and from closures to connecting blocks, without sacrificing standard features,e.g., AC/DC, VOM, Kick Meter, they have come to rely on. The versatile Sidekick 7B is used throughout the telephony industry, including LAN/WAN, Private Networks, and BICSI applications.

STRESS TEST

The Stress Test reads the audible noise produced on a faulted pair that is stressed by a 90 dBrn longitudinal excitation. The Stress Test determines the capacitive and series resistance ba lance characteristics of twisted pair at any point along the pair. It is capable of identifying DC resistive or capacitive imbalances undetected by other subscriber loop tests. The Stress Test is also highly effective in identifying imbalances produced by series resistance opens (high joints).

LEAKAGE TEST

The Leakage Test detects intermittent resistance faults that do not appear under normal VOM tests. When a faulted pair is taken out of service, galvanic action forms an insulating oxide layer over the faults. When returned to service, such pairs develop "noisy static" in a relatively short period of time. The Leakage Test uses 135 Volts to "punch through" the oxide layer and reveal the fault.

Features

• Determines stressed noise susceptibility of dry and working pairs.
• Measures resistance, AC/DC volts, and capacitive kick.
• Minimal drying effect in all ranges.
• Single setup for testing Tip-Ring, Tip-Ground, and Ring-Ground.
• Provides tone for twisted pair or crossed conductor identification.
• Low Battery indicator light.
• Field replaceable leads.
• Soft case with adjustable strand hook.

Benefits

• Works on any twisted pair application.
• Increases technician productivity.
• Reduces repeat service calls.
