FAULT LOCATOR BRIDGE EFL 10T

WHERE IS THE FAULT?

EFL 10T FAULT LOCATOR BRIDGE GIVES THE ANSWER!

FEATURES
The EFL 10T is a small-size hand-held
instrument intended for maintenance
and troubleshooting, and also for ac-
ceptance tests of telecommunication
cables.

The EFL 10T provides numerous tools:

Measurement of cable parameters such as
• Loop resistance
• Resistance difference
• Insulation resistance
• Cable capacitance
• Disturbing AC and DC voltages
• Cable temperature

DC AC fault location methods for the location

of insulation and conductor faults:
• Murray,
• 3 Pont,
• Küpfmüller
• Repeated Küpfmüller
• Interruption

Automatic test sequences making the work

quicker and more effective
• Automatic Quick Test
• Automatic Quality Test
• Automatic Survey of Pair Condition

USB port and WIFI for data transfer
