This Klein cable length meter is a must - have for cable testing. It comes with everything you need: one cable length meter, two AA alkaline batteries, five test leads, and a padded carrying pouch. With TDR technology, it can measure cable lengths up to 3000 feet (914 m) for electrical, data, two - wire, and Romex® cables. It also detects faults like distance - to - fault, open or short on both terminated and unterminated cables. The meter is pre - programmed with Velocity of Propagation (VoP) values for various cable types, ensuring accurate length measurements within +/-(2 - Percent plus 3 - Foot/0.9 m). You can store custom VoP values for consistent results and save time. It features a simple, full - color interactive LCD interface. For wire tracing, it can tone unenergized, open - ended wires (Analog Probe sold separately). It has a Coax - BNC or high - quality alligator clips for easy connection to most cable types and an RJ45 jack for terminated data cables. You can switch between metric and imperial units. It offers drop protection of 6.6' (2 m) and is made of ABS plastic. This tester provides accurate cable length measurement for a wide range of cable types at an affordable price.
Using the Klein cable length meter is straightforward. First, make sure the two AA alkaline batteries are installed. Then, connect the cable to be tested using either the Coax - BNC, alligator clips, or the RJ45 jack depending on the cable type. Turn on the device and use the simple full - color LCD interface to start the measurement. You can switch between metric and imperial units as needed. For wire tracing, you'll need to buy the Analog Probe separately. When it comes to maintenance, keep the device in the included carrying pouch to protect it from drops. If the battery life indicator shows low, replace the batteries promptly. The battery life is about 15 hours when active and 3 years in standby. Don't expose the device to extreme temperatures or moisture. Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it in good condition.
