THE IST MODEL 380 is a portable, stand-alone cable/harness tester for testing any cable up to 128 points. It detects opens, shorts, and miswires within one second by comparing the test result with the golden file or the data learned from a sample good cable. The error messages can be shown on the LCD display or printed out on a printer with the correct wire list needing reworking. The IST-380's features user-friendly resident software and its easy-to-follow menu simplifies testing and operations. The IST-380 also features a universal, do-it-yourself adapter card, offering great flexibility and convenience in cable mating connector set-ups prior to testing runs.
FEATURES:
- All-in-One Changeable Adapter Card:
With the universal design, cables with commonly used connectors and the variety
pin number can be tested on this furnished adapter card. It saves the trouble and
extra cost in changing and selecting each individual connector module. The user
can just load and solder the appropriate mating connectors on the card.
- Self-Programming Capability:
Provides golden file for all one to one cables or learns from a known good harness
assembly with any wiring pattern. The battery back-up memory stores 50 test
programs with each cable up to 128 test points.
- Parallel Printer Interface:
Prints out the complete wire list or just the errors with its rework instructions.
- Test Point Identification:
A test probe is included for wire identification or troubleshooting. The LCD
display shows the corresponding wire list as the probe tip touches the cable test
point.
- Stop on Error/Step Through on Error:
LCD display shows each error message against its correct wire list.
- Program Identification:
Each test program is assigned by a number plus a six-digit hexadecimal code
resulting in a unique signature which is compressed from the data of individual
cables' wire lists. The code is also displayed at the end of each test to ensure the
test result is with the data in the memory.
- Multiple Connections Testing:
With the extensive software analysis, the errors of the complex multiple
connections with each single point or other multiple connections are also detected
and pinpointed.
