TDR 2040 Cable Fault Locator
About the TDR 2040 Cable Fault
Locator:
• The TDR 2040 allows technicians to
locate faults in a cable, and to
measure the length of cable runs.
• The cable fault locator measures
cable line voltage.

About the TDR 2040 Cable Fault
Locator:
• The on-board tone generator allows
tracing of hidden cable runs.
• The TDR 2040 is compatible with all
common cable types.
• The TDR 2040 has zero dead zone,
enabling it to locate faults or
measure cable length immediately
adjacent to the cable fault locator.

The Following Functions can be
Performed with the TDR 2040:
• The TDR 2040 measures the cable
length (up to 2500 feet, ± 2%
accuracy) and indicates the distance
to a fault.
• Line voltage is monitored.
• The TDR 2040 will overlay one of
four tones in the cable for tracing
hidden runs with a standard probe.

Measuring Cable Length:
• Press the F1 key to display the
“Length” screen.
• The screen will display the distance
to the end of the cable.
• Note: For the length measurement to
be accurate, the type of cable and
Nvp (nominal velocity of propagation)
must be correctly set up, in the TDR
2040’s Setup menu.

Checking for a Fault:
• Press the F1 key to display the
“Length” screen.
• The screen will display “Open” or
“Short,” depending on which
condition exists.
• The screen will display distance to
the open/short condition.
• Note: Splitters are displayed as an
open condition by the TDR. The
distance to the splitter is displayed.

Checking Line Voltage:
• Connect the TDR 2040 to a cable
source then press the PWR key to
turn the TDR on.
• The line voltage is displayed in the
upper-right corner of the “Mode”
screen.
• Note: If the line voltage exceeds 6
volts, disconnect the power to the
TDR 2040 to prevent damage.

“Tone” screen.
• Use the UP/DOWN and F2 keys to
select and confirm a tone pattern.
• Press the F1 key to exit from the
“Tone” screen.
• The TDR 2040 will now generate the
selected tone pattern.
