Wiring Analyzers measure 10 GΩ Isolation at 100 V

19 October 2023 - CAMI Research, manufacturer of the CableEye automation-ready cable and harness test system, has released an option for its HVX product line permitting leakage measurements of 10 GΩ isolation at a test voltage of 100 Vdc. This new capability will be of special interest to customers requiring extremely high isolation resistance measurements at very low voltages. The option may be ordered with new testers or added as an upgrade to previously purchased systems.

All CableEye testers ship with comprehensive software providing test functions, connectors database, graphic wiring display, reporting, data logging, automation scripting and many more features.

The new add-on option comprises custom software and a hardware upgrade that allows an external measurement instrument to be used in combination with the HVX’s internal relay-switching matrix and reporting software. It uses the built-in external terminals of an HVX series tester to accept stimulus signals from the external source, and that source’s USB or Serial channel to control it and read measurement data. CableEye internal software presents the acquired data in the standard report format used for all CableEye wiring reports. The customer will need to purchase a third party instrument, the Keithley Model 2410 SourceMeter, to obtain the described function.

Application

Applications for such high isolation measurements at very low voltage include mission critical devices with densely packed pins that would arc at higher voltages potentially causing damage: For example, the testing of military or aerospace cables with nano connectors.

Exacting Reporting Standards

CableEye software allows customers to meet the most exacting reporting requirements of government-contracted and ISO 9000-style certified companies.

Warranty

All new testers ship ready-to-use with a two-year Product Support Subscription (PSS) comprising warranty, free tech support, complimentary software upgrades and more. The PSS is renewable, though not required for tester operation.
