UNDERSTANDING NVP

The CableTool makes a very precise measurement of the time it takes for an

electrical signal to travel down a cable, hit a short or open and travel back to the

unit. The time is converted into length based on the speed that the electrical signal

travels along the cable being tested. Different cables have different electrical

properties and the speed that the electrical signal travels will vary based on the

NVP of the cable.

NVP (Nominal Velocity of Propagation) is the relative speed that an electrical

signal will travel through a media. A vacuum is a perfect media with an NVP of

100. All cables have an NVP less than 100 and typically in the range of 50 to 80.

Using the most accurate NVP available will provide the most accurate length

measurements.

The NVP for electrical service cables (such as Romex, BX, UF-B) varies

significantly between manufacturers and even between production lots from the

same manufacturer. Data cables have special manufacturing processes that

produce fairly consistent NVP values. The NVP of a cable can also be different if it

is wound on a spool or laying flat (installed). Data cables have the least variation

between wound and flat and some coaxial cables show significant variation. NVP

is specified for many types of cable and may be printed on the cable spool or

box. Contacting the manufacturer or checking their website can also be a good

source of accurate NVP information. Using the Custom Cable Setup to determine

the NVP of a known cable length provides accurate results. The NVP values

prestored in the CableTool provide typical values for cable types from all

manufacturers.

BATTERY

The CableTool operates on four AA alkaline

batteries. Remove the battery cover at the back of

the unit and insert the batteries with the orientation as

shown. Battery polarity is marked inside the battery

well for reference.

INTRODUCTION

The CableTool Multifunction Cable Meter electrically measures the length of a

cable using Time Domain Reflectometry technology. The CableTool measurement

begins by transmitting an electrical pulse into the connected cable. The electrical

pulse travels along the cable until it hits a discontinuity (either a short or an open)

and is then reflected back to the unit. The CableTool precisely measures the time

between launching the pulse and recieving the reflected pulse. The time

measurement is converted to distance using the cable NVP (Nominal Velocity of

Propagation).

Additionally, the CableTool provides a continuous reading of any voltages

present on the cable under test and features four different tone frequencies and

patterns for tracing cables with a tone probe.

MECHANICAL FEATURES

SAFETY

Always disconnect the test leads from any cable before opening the battery

compartment cover.

OVERVIEW

The CableTracker Model 15 Probe identifies cables and terminations by detecting a

trace tone signal transmitted by the CableTool. When the Probe is near the correct cable

pair or punchdown, it indicates detection by emitting an audible signal with the same

pattern that is selected on the CableTool.

CABLE TRACING

Connect the CableTool to a cable. Turn on the Model 15 Probe by pressing and

holding the button. Place the probe tip near the cable or termination to be identified and the

Probe will emit an audible signal. The audible signal is loudest when the Probe is near the

correct cable or termination point. The volume can be adjusted by rotating the thumbwheel

located above the button. The Power ”ON” indicator is illuminated when the unit is on and

the battery has adequate voltage.

BATTERY

The CableTracker Model 15 Probe operates on one 9 volt alkaline battery. Remove

the battery cover at the back of the unit, connect the battery to the battery snap cable, insert

the battery in the battery well and replace the battery cover.

BATTERY LIFE

The Model 15 Probe will operate for approximately 16 hours on one 9 volt alkaline

battery. When the battery is below the level required for the Model 15 to operate properly,

the Power “ON” indicator will not illuminate.

OPERATION

Attach the test leads to the CableTool by inserting the safety banana plugs

into the banana jacks at the top of the unit. Turn the CableTool on by pressing the

“PWR” button. The startup screen is shown for a few seconds and then the Mode

Screen is displayed. Clip one test lead to each of two conductors of the cable to

be tested.

MODE SCREEN

When the Mode Screen is displayed, the CableTool immediately starts

measuring voltage and updates the reading

several times per second. If more than a 6-8

volts are present on the cable, do not conduct a

Length test or apply a Tone signal until the

circuit is de-energized. The CableTool can

withstand continuous input voltages of up to 250Vrms.

LENGTH SCREEN

Pressing the Length function key in the Mode Screen presents the Length

Screen. The CableTool automatically starts

measuring the distance to the fault (open or

short) using the NVP of the Default Cable (see

Default Cable Setup). Using the Up/Down

Cursor key, any of the eight user selected cable

types, the four custom cable types or a cable type from the prestored cable list

can be selected and the length is corrected for the corresponding NVP. The length

measurement is continuously updated.

When the NVP for a cable is known to be different than the displayed NVP,

the NVP can be changed by pressing the Select

function key to move the arrow to the NVP field

and then pressing the Up/Down cursor key to

modify the NVP. The NVP can also be modified

and stored in Cable List setup.

RECOMMENDATION: Before starting a job with a new spool or box of cable

that has a known length, make a length measurement with the CableTool to

determine if the prestored NVP for that cable type provides the correct length. This

is done by selecting a cable type that matches or is similar to the type of cable to

be tested, press the Select function key to move the arrow to the NVP field and

press the Up/Down Cursor key until the displayed length matches the known

length printed on the box or spool. The modified NVP will only be used while

making this length measurement, exiting the screen or turning off the power will

reset the NVP to the original value. To store the cable type with the modified NVP

see “Cable List Setup”. The prestored NVP is a typical value and adjusting the

NVP to the actual length will provide more accurate results. See “Understanding

NVP” for more information.
