Applications
In the warehouse, you can quickly measure the cable
remaining on all your spools, allowing you to select the
right spool for each job. Additionally, by keeping a
record of the prior inventory, you can determine how
much wire was used on the current job.
Note
The TS100 PRO works on two conductors. You
cannot use the tester to measure single-
conductor cable.
