CableEye cable testers and harness testers

Find defective or miswired cables instantly before they damage equipment or waste valuable technician time. CableEye cable testers and harness testers have a unique, patented graphic wiring display to visually pinpoint problems when wiring errors are detected, and offer one-second pass/fail testing for production environments. Quickly locate intermittent connections and identify their position in the cable. Expand CableEye up to 1024 test points for large cables and wiring harnesses, and measure cables of up to 3000 feet in length. With our Model M3 tester, set two resistance thresholds, one for good connections down to 0.4 ohms, and one for isolation up to 10 Megohms. Measure embedded resistors and resistor networks, check the orientation of diodes, and measure diode forward voltage.

An on-line database holds an unlimited number of User cables and includes descriptive notes and label text for each cable. Search the database for a wiring match to a measured cable, or by User part number or descriptive text. High-resolution graphic output on laser and ink-jet printers provides the hard-copy documentation necessary for ISO 9000-certified manufacturing. Print labels simultaneously on a second printer as cables are tested. Use bar-code scanners to read cable part numbers and work orders for high-volume production.

Choose from a wide variety of plug-in connector boards to mate with most standard cables, and easily mount custom connectors for unusual applications. For special applications, use our MiniHook probes to test continuity in connectorless cables, backplanes, and printed circuit boards.

The easy-to-use software can be set up for one-button operation to speed production testing. Unskilled operators need only to press the TEST pushbutton on the fixture to trigger an involved test sequence set up by the quality control engineer, with results automatically logged to disk for later analysis and report generation. Use an optional footswitch for hands-free operation.

For complex wire harnesses and multi-headed cables, label each pin with your own custom text to speed the location of faulty connections.
