Device  application  area  and  its  distinction  from  a  previous 

model TDR-TA3.3T 

1.1   The  device  TDR-TA3.3T  is  significantly  improved  in  contradistinction  to  TDR-

TA3.3T in the following issues: 

  the device memory maintains an option of saving one waveform due to compare 

it with the next waveform. 

  the  device  input  bandwidth  is  significantly  expanded,  that  allows  to  work  in 

narrow  areas  and  to  distinguish  closely  located  faults  on  a  1,5 

–  2  meter 

distance between them. 

1.2  The TDR-TA3.3T is intended for the following measurements on symmetric and 

asymmetric cables with wave impedance from 30 to 400 Ohm: 

 measuring the cable length; 

 measuring the distance to wave impedance irregularities or defects; 

 measuring the coefficient of a line shortening at its known length; 

 definition of nature of damage;  

 display  of  the  measurement  results  on  LED-screen  with  320*240  pcs  definition; 

results saving; 

1.3  The TDR-TA3.3T is a compact device, intended to operate in field and stationary 

conditions.  

Climatic performance type TDR-TA3.3T group 4 GOST 22261 

 operational range of temperature from 

– 20 to +40 °С; 

 relative humidity 98%  at  

25 °С above zero; 

 transportation and storage terms from 

– 50 to + 50 °С. 

1.4 

The TDR-TA3.3T is durable and resistant to sinusoidal vibration exposure according 

to a group 4 GOST 22261 in the frequency range from 10 to 55 Hz.  

The TDR-TA3.3T power is supplied from four AA-batteries of 2700 mA*Hr capacity. 

The  TDR-TA3.3T  design  provides  a  battery  discharge  control  and  automatic 

disconnection of the device after 10 minutes down time (not-pressed buttons). 

1.5 

TDR-TA3.3T produces no noise.
