Battery powered digital impulse reflectometer (TDR) RIF-9 designed for determining the distance to a fault in communication and power cables. Digital impulse reflectometer RIF-9 allows:

• Determining the distance to a fault or discontinuity in symmetric and asymmetric cables using a location (time domain reflection) method
• Measuring the length of a cable (including those wound on a drum) or distance to a fault or a short circuit
• Storing and processing the results of measurements both internally or using a supplied PC software
• As part of a Cable Test Van, determining the distance to a fault or discontinuity in cables with length of up to 100 km for all possible fault types without the need of preliminary full cable sheath burning

• RIF-9 provides you with 10.4-inch bright highcontrast TFT display with touchscreen. The 800 × 600 pixels resolution makes the picture sharp. The touchscreen allows an operator navigate through the menu fast and easy. An alternative way of navigation is included. It is provided with
a control knob.
• RIF-9 integrates a multiple ways of fault prelocation. It can be used either as a standalone device in TDR mode or in a conjunction with HV-module (e.g. Cable test van or Surge wave generator), working in arc reflection (ARC), impulse current (ICE) and decay modes. A highcapacity internal battery allows working up to 8 hours.
• RIF-9 has both RS-485 and USB interfaces. The package content includes software for PC (optional), which allows working with saved reflectograms. The firmware is easily updated through USB interface by inserting a flash drive.
