Which Cable & Harness Connection Tester System? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Our
range of cable harness
connection testers
are
capable
of
testing
a
wide
variety
of
products,
including
cable
harnesses,
wiring harnesses, distribution
panels,
wiring
looms,
flexible
circuits, rotary switches
and
membrane
switch
panels.
The
level
of
sophistication
of the cable harness tester required
will
depend
on
the
product
type,
failure
modes
and
integrity
required
by
the eventual
customer.
There
are
3
main
types
of
test
that
can
be
applied
and
this
will
determine
which
of
our
cable harness
testers
will
be
most
suitable
for
your
product.
Continuity
check:- This
applies
a
voltage
to
each
pin
of
the
cable
in
turn
and
checks
the
response
of
all
other
pins.
This
is
checked
against
the
required
response.
This
test
will
detect
missing
connections
(“Opens”),
Extra
Connections
(“Shorts”)
and
miswired
connections
(“wrong
pins").
The
test
voltage
is
usually
5
Volts
D.C.
This
is
the
minimum
requirement
for
any
cable
tester.
Resistance
measurement:- This
test
measures
the
resistance
between
every
point
in
the
cable
and
checks
that
the
value
is
below
the
required
value.
This
will
detect
poor
connections,
wrong
wire
lengths
and
bad
crimps.
To
measure
low
resistance
values
accurately
you
should
use
a
“4
wire
tester”,
any
other
type
of
tester
will
add
jig
wiring
resistance
to
your
test
results,
this
makes
testing
less
reliable.
HiPot
test:- This
test
applies
a
high
voltage
(normally
in
the
range
100
to
1000
Volts
DC
but
we
can
supply
higher
voltages
and
A.C.
systems
if
necessary)
between
a
connection
and
the
rest
of
the
circuit.
The
current
is
then
monitored
to
check
the
insulation
and
for
flashover.
This
test
will
detect
poor
insulation,
insufficient
clearances
between
connections
and
contamination.
There
are
3
product
ranges.
The
B801" Sharon:
This
standalone cable
and harness tester
carries
out
a
full
continuity
check
and
displays
any
errors.
It
has
a
low
price
to
enable
you
to
test
during
build.
Wide
range
of
adaptors.
The
B857 "Tracy":
This
is
a
very
cost
effective
modular
tester
for
cables,
harnesses,
wiring
looms and rotary switches.
Start
with
one
module
(128
connections)
and
add
more
when
you
need
them.
Interchangeable
with
all
"Sharon"
accessories.
The
BA765 "Henry":
This
cable,
connection
and
harness
test
system
carries
out
a
full
continuity
check,
4
Wire
resistance
measurement
and
a
full
HiPot
test.
It
is
currently
being
used
for
aircraft
wiring,
computer
cables,
Networking
panels
and
in
many
other
high
application fields.
