TX8000 Operating Instructions

1.3 Standards

The TX8000 has been manufactured in accordance with BI Communications 

ISO 9001-2015 quality system and meets with the following international 

standards:

Safety  IEC 61010-1

  

EN 60950

EMC 

BS/EN 61326-1

Water/ Dustproof to IP67

Section 2- Introducing the TX8000

The TX8000 is a 6 Km range Time Domain Reflectometer housed in a rugged 

over moulded case being water proof to IP67 and drop resistant, designed for 

outdoor use, but sufficiently small and light weight for general use and may 

be operated using one hand. Using a 3.5-inch QVGA colour display information 

is clearly displayed; an illuminated keypad makes the TX8000 ideal for use in 

poorly lit areas.

Using 11 range scales with a first range of 7 meters near end faults are clearly 

visible. Using the scan hold function faults may be retained on screen for 

closer examination or when in scan mode intermittent faults may be easily 

identified. By using the trace hold and compare feature the current trace may 

be displayed and compared with a new trace. The user variable gain function 

allows small events on the wave form to be magnified for clearer identification. 

With dual cursors each cursor giving its length measurement and a differential 

distance between cursors the length of the fault may be identified. To assist in 

the identification of faults a number of fault types may be super imposed over 

the displayed fault for easier identification.
