Cable Tester Functions

Learn the cable

This allows the user to connect to the cable under test and automatically identify the pin connections, saving a great deal of time by not having to enter the pin connections manually and reducing operator error.

Fast automatic testing with up to six different measurements

Once the cable pin connections have been identified up to six different measurements can be selected.

The range of measurements includes open/short, conductance, resistance, capacitance, diode and hipot / insulation resistance. Having set-up the measurement parameters the cable harness tester is ready to test, providing a simple Pass/Fail banner for each cable tested.

The range of tests available allow any cable to be completely tested for correct wiring and safe construction. It does this at great speed allowing fast throughput of manufactured cable assemblies.

Statistical reporting

Onboard statistical reporting allows the operator to gain up to date statistical information on the number of units tested and number of units that have Passed / Failed.

In addition a more detailed fail analysis is available showing the number of failures per measurement.

8687 diagnostic meter mode

For the purpose of debugging test sequences or fault finding a broken cable the 8687 provides a facility for individually testing all points on a cable with any of the available tests.

Print test results and save instrument settings

The Cable Harness Testers have remote control, RS232 and printer interfaces as standard, offering a range of options to the user for controlling the instrument, uploading and downloading instrument settings and printing results.

In addition instrument set-ups can be saved in the non-volatile memory in the instrument.

Accurate LCR measurements

Offering a higher degree of performance, the 8687 uses a 4-wire connection to the cable under test providing accurate and repeatable measurements of resistance, conductance and capacitance.

The economical complete cable harness test system

Providing high performance, wide range of measurements, fast production testing and simple straightforward operation, at an extremely low price, the 8681 and 8687 Cable Harness Testers provide excellent value to cable harness manufacturers worldwide.
