HDE, CDM-75, Cable Distance Meter Measures up to 6 Wires, 75' Range with B-20 Bag
The CableDistance Meteris a handheld meterfor measurement of cable sag, cable height distance and overhead clearance of conductors. Itis a modern alternative to telescopic measuring poles. The Cable Distance Meter utilizes ultrasonic signals to determine the height of overhead cables up to 75 feet(23m). Used by line operators within the utility industries such as electricity and telecommunications,the CableDistance Meter measures up to 6 wires.
The CableDistance Meteris capable of measuring up to six cables(provided they arewithin range).Thisis accomplished by standing directly beneath the cable and aligning longitudinally (looking down the line). Simply pressthe“ON”button to power up the instrument and allowthe temperature to stabilize. Press and hold the“MEASURE”button and, if necessary, gently rock and tiltthe instrument until a stable reading is obtained.
The Cable Distance Meter emitsshort bursts ofsound which originate from the cone-shaped transmitter.The microprocessor in the instrument calculatesthe elapsed time forthe bursts of sound to be reflected from the cable back to the instrument. The result can be displayed in eitherfeet and inches(imperial) or meters(metric)format.To accountforthe factthatspeed of sound varieswith temperature, a temperature sensor mounted atthe front ofthe instrumentsensesthe actual airtemperature
