FUNCTIONS TESTECRAN+™ is used to check the outer sheath of an underground medium or low voltage cable, by measuring the insulation resistance between the screen and earth. If a faulty condition is found, corrective measures must be taken in order to ensure ongoing good cable function. It is a handheld device supplied in a carrying case with its earth peg and connecting cables. USE PRINCIPLE The opération of TESTECRAN+™ is conpletely automatic. Once connected, a push-button starts the measurement procedure : Battery Voltage check Self Test Discharge of the cable screen Indication of the cable screen status : OK or Faulted Finished. If the cable is operational, a green LED lights up, otherwise a red oneflashes and a buzzer sounds. TESTECRAN+™ is protected against a charged cable, thus there is no need to discharge the cable before connecting. During the charging of the screen a LED flashes every second giving an approximate indication of the length of the cable based on 1 km (0.6 mile) for every 12 seconds, depending on cable and ground conditions.
