APPLICATIONS
The Cable Height Meters are capable of measuring the lowest cable, provided it is within range. Additionally the spacing between the next five cables can be displayed. This is accomplished by standing directly beneath the cable and aligning yourself longitudinally (looking down the line). Simply press the “ON” button to power the instrument up and allow the temperature to stabilize. Press the ‘MEASURE’ button and if necessary gently “rock and tilt” the instrument until a stable reading is obtained. Applications include measuring cable heights of:

• Telephone lines
• Distribution lines
• Transmission lines
• Cable television (installers and contractors)
• Street lights n Sag (lowest point to ground)
• Separation between up to six cables

The instrument can be used to ensure that OSHA overhead clearance regulations are met at construction sites. It also provides a safer way to measure cable heights on highly congested roadways.

Additionally the Cable Height Meters offer an easy way to check whether the device has remained in calibration since its purchase date. Switching to ‘CAL’ mode also allows the instruments to be used indoors.(DET20C).

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Ease-of-use —Simple, three button operation ensures fast, effective measurements with a minimum of operator training.
• Compact size — Its light weight and hand-held portability allows easy transport and multiple measurements.
• Inherently safe — No physical connection to cables or wires required to obtain measurement.
• Battery condition indicator — Shows the battery warning symbol when the battery voltage falls to approximately 6 volts.
• Automatic power off — Conserves battery power when idle after three minutes.
• Calibration and maintenance free operation — Minimal down time.
• Pre-selectable measuring modes —Will read in either meters or feet and inches for universal use.
• Six cable measurement capability —Handles almost any field application.
• Quicker measurement of cable height —Saves time and money.
