Introduction / Scope of Supply
The UNITEST Echometers are universally usable
cable length measurement instruments. They have
been built in compliance with the most recent pre-
scriptions and gurantee safe and reliable measure-
ments. The UNITEST Echometers are a valuable
support for trade and industry for tally measure-
ments, inventories, and residual length measure-
ments.
The instruments have the following characteris-
tics:
• Echometer for easy and time efficient measure-
ment of cable lengths in trade, industry, utility
companies, and specialist electronic stores.
• Only one cable end is required. Thus, conductors
already installed or cable drums can be measured,
thus saving time.
• 58 fixed, pre-programmed measurement ranges
representing the most common cable cross sec-
tions
• 87 variable measurement ranges, individually
programmable by the user to measure customer
specific conductor and cable types
• Detecting single or multi-wire conductor inter-
ruptions or short-circuits for trouble shooting
• Cable and conductor length measurement up to
approx. 2000 m (depending on the type of con-
ductor)
• Internal data memory to save 500 measurements
for inventories, tally measurements, cable return
measurements, etc.
• RS232 interface for transfer and further PC pro-
cessing of measurement data
• Cumulative memory to measure and cumulate
several cable rings of the same type of conductor,
saving time and money
• Additional resistance measurement up to 2000
Ohm and acoustic continuity test
• Display light for better visibility while working in
badly illuminated environments, such as storage
areas
• Automatic power off
