GENERAL INFORMATION Safety Precautions

All persons involved in the transport, installation, operation, maintenance and repair of this system must have read this user manual carefully. The system and its accessories are in accordance with the current state of safety technology at the time of delivery. Owing to the work processes involved, however, there may be parts of the system and its peripherals which cannot be given optimum protection without an unreasonable reduction in function and usability. This is why we request you to observe the following safety precautions without fail!
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Work on this system and its peripherals must only be performed by qualified and/or trained staff. Other persons must be kept away. This manual shall be permanently available to the supervisory, operating, and maintenance staff for reference. Improper use may endanger life and limb, the system and connected equipment, as well as the efficient functioning of the system. This is why you are allowed to employ the instrument only to the purpose it has been designed for by its manufacturer. Always use the appropriate tools for any operation on the system and for running it and keep your tools in good repair. Permanently supervise the observance of all safety instructions during operation and maintenance.
13
Only authorised persons with sufficient expertise are allowed to operate the device. Make sure the instrument and its peripherals are in good working order when they are put into operation. Never use any foreign parts on the instrument and its peripherals, otherwise the necessary degree of safety cannot be ensured. Do not carry out any operation that may jeopardise the safety of the instrument. The user is required to immediately report any change in the system to the supervisor in charge. The operator is required to shut the equipment down without delay whenever some functional disorder occurs that may jeopardise the safety of persons. The instrument must not be put into operation again unless the fault has been repaired.
ELECTROTECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS Connect the instrument and all its accessories according to instructions and regulations. Make sure the relevant regulations such as EN, DIN, VDE or national standards, respectively, are observed. Every repair or maintenance operation shall be carried out only after the equipment has been switched off (is in a dead state) and only by an electrotechnical expert. A person is regarded an electrotechnical expert when due to his or her training, knowledge, and experience as well as knowledge of relevant regulations he or she is able to assess the operations to be carried out and detect any possible risk.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION Application

The length of a cable can be measured easily and fast by means of a reflectometer provided there are no sleeves, junction boxes, or multiple ends in the path of the cable. This is only the case, however, when both ends of the cable under test have been disconnected. When measurements have to be taken in completely installed cable networks there is often no chance to assign the incoming reflections of the test pulse to a specific test point in the cable network since each of the sleeves, junction points, and ends generates a test pulse reflection of its own. Our 'Echo Pulser' is the appropriate remedy in this situation. It is connected to the end of the cable section under test. The test point will now clearly stand out on the display of the reflectometer thus allowing the length of the cable section under test to be determined without delay. The 'Echo Pulser' can be applied to a network under mains voltage without the need to use additional accessories.

Basic Function
When the length of a cable segment within a completely installed and ramified cable network shall be measured, a reflectometer such as type Teleflex M, easyflex, or miniflex HV is connected to one end of the segment under test. The 'Echo Pulser' is connected to the other end of the cable segment. You need not cut any existing electrical connections, e.g. in junction boxes. The 'Echo Pulser' alternates between opencircuit and short-circuit conditions at a cycle rate of once per second. The change in reflectivity at the location of the 'Echo Pulser' can easily be detected on the display of the reflectometer. Any other reflections caused by junctions or ends of cables branching off will remain unchanged, on the other hand. Die electrical circuitry of the 'Echo Pulser' is so designed that the short-circuit condition is only effective for the test pulse of the reflectometer but not for voltage at power-line frequency or dc voltage. When the reflectometer, too is equipped with a blocking filter circuit to keep off the mains voltage, length measurements can be taken without the need to disconnect the cable under test.

Batteries to be Used
Insert a conventional 9-V battery block (size IEC 6F22 / E block) to power the Echo Pulser. You have the choice to use either a primary battery of the Normal / Alkaline type or a rechargeable battery of the NiCd / NiMH type. The battery compartment is located in the rear of the enclosure, it is covered with a sliding lid. ATTENTION: Before opening the battery compartment make sure that the Echo Pulser has been disconnected from the cable!!!
How to proceed: Open the battery compartment by shifting the lid downwards. Release the exhausted battery from the contact clip. Connect a fresh battery with the contact clip. In doing so make sure that polarity is observed correctly. Insert the battery into its compartment. In doing so make sure that the connecting wires of the contact clip are neither strained nor squeezed. Close the battery compartment by pushing the lid on till it engages..
When you want to charge the battery or dispose of a dead battery, please follow the instructions given in paragraphs 4.1 and 4.2.
28
3.3
Battery Monitoring
Battery voltage is monitored automatically. The battery condition can be evaluated by watching the repetition rate of the pulse which can be heard as a click and seen as a flashing of LED PULS. When during operation the supply voltage drops below a specified minimum, the repetition rate is clearly reduced. You can, however, still run the Echo Pulser for several hours. We advise you to exchange the battery immediately should the supply voltage be below the specified minimum already at the time the Echo Pulser is switched on. For values of the pulse repetition rate please refer to paragraph 2.
3.4
Switching On and Off

Press key On / OFF shortly to switch the Echo Pulser on and off. After the device has been switched ON you can hear the regular clicking of the clock generator.

Safety Instructions for Working under Voltage

Please observe the following instructions when working under voltage: Tools, utilities, and clothing shall be in line with the relevant regulations. Carry out all protective measures such as marking, covering, or barricading as required by the relevant regulations. First completely connect the test leads and adapters of the measuring accessories to the 'Echo Pulser', then make connection to the cable under voltage. Make sure the necessary voltage sustaining capability is ensured when using other adapters or test leads. Never use a device or accessory item that has been damaged or impermissibly changed. Further measuring and test equipment such as audiofrequency transmitters or insulation testing equipment may only be connected when the maximum permissible voltage is not exceeded (paragraph 2.2).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE General Information

Use exclusively soft detergents for plastics when you remove soiling from the surface of the enclosure or the front panel. We advise you to use a slightly moistened soft duster or a sponge for cleaning. ATTENTION: Do not immerse the enclosure in liquid. Never apply any chemical agent such as petrol, acetone, paint diluent, acid, or alkali.
Please remove the battery from its compartment when you intend not to use the device for a lengthy period of time. Otherwise you run the risk that the ability to function may be impaired due to leakage of the battery. Please dispose of your dead primary cells and rechargeable batteries according to regulations in an environmentally friendly way.
4.2
How to Charge a Rechargeable Battery

When you use a rechargeable battery, please remove it from the device for charging and use a conventional charging device. Please observe the instructions of the battery and charger manufacturers without fail.
