4-Wire Resistance Measurement | Continuity & HiPot Cable & Wire Harness Testers

High Voltage, Continuity & Hipot, Cable & Wire Harness Test Systems

CableEye HVX, HVX-21 - CAMI Research Inc. (CableEye®)

Fast ● Simple ● Precise Advanced wiring analyzer scans for continuity (opens, shorts), miswires, resistance, capacitance, components (resistors, diodes, LEDs, capacitors) dielectric breakdown, insulation resistance, intermittent connections HVX (Item 829) 1500 Vdc, 1000 Vac HVX-21 (Item 829A) 2100 Vdc, 1200 Vac For diagnostic and Pass/Fail Testing — Permits expanded testing (compared to models in our low voltage product line) for insulation resistance (IRI) and dielectric breakdown (DWV). All CableEye testers are suitable for production, fault diagnosis, QC (Quality Control), assembly, and prototyping of standard or custom cables. Each combines test, fault location, design, documentation, labeling, and database storage in one instrument. Tests can be performed on long cables (with or without connectors) or no cables (e.g. connectors, backplanes, PCBs, components). Standard Features & Benefits:

• USB certified, PC-based tester for a versatile, fast, robust system with long life-cycle.
• Multilingual, dynamic, graphic-rich display (netlist & wiring schematic) provides clarity and speeds diagnostics.
• 128 Test Points, expandable to 1024 providing flexibility as your product line changes.
• User-selectable voltage to each connection group in the cable simplifies an otherwise complex process, accelerating testing.
• Programmable Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Dwell Time (same as Test Time), Trip Current, and Trip Delay (same as Soak Time) adds versatility.
• Current leakage detected during HV test phase provides a measure of insulation resistance up to 1 GΩ (HVX) and 5 GΩ (HVX-21) - any leakage current exceeding a preset limit reveals the presence of moisture, flux, or other contamination on exposed contacts.
• Real-time screening for intermittent connections for pinpointing elusive faults and improving quality.
• Automation scripting in a simple, intuitive language allowing non-programmers to reduce operator error by automating repetitive steps.
• Pop-Up Work Instructions. choose the exact amount of detail, imagery, language and automation you need to ensure your work instructions and tests are carried out flawlessly.
• Flexible tolerancing: optionally define as percentages or absolute terms, as well as asymmetrically (e.g. +0%/-10%) for improved yields.
• Barcode-tracking & archival data-logging to achieve error-proof test process and improved traceability & productivity.
• Print PASS/FAIL labels, test reports (with or without color wiring schematics/netlists) and log reports to satisfy ISO9000 reporting requirements.
• Compatible with laptop and touchscreen PCs for fieldwork and rack/off-bench mounting.

CableEye® HV-Rated QuickMount™ Housing for CAMI Connector Boards

CBH2 - CAMI Research Inc. (CableEye®)

CAMI Research Inc. (Acton, MA) has released a High-Voltage (HV)-rated QuickMount housing (CBH2) for its CableEye^® automation-ready, cable and wire harness testing systems. As a free-standing, quick-release board fixture, it allows users to connect CAMI’s test interface boards to the 64-pin headers of any expansion module - even at some distance. The housing may be used with any CableEye model and is rated to 2100 Vdc / 1500 Vac.

2100Vdc Screw Terminal Connector Board | Cable & Harness Tester

CB29H - CAMI Research Inc. (CableEye®)

CAMI Research Inc. (Acton, MA) announces another new board for its CableEye cable and harness testing systems. Populated with four 16-pole screw terminal blocks, the board addresses high voltage (HiPot) testing to 2100Vdc/1200Vac. Of particular interest to the harness testing market, the CB29H is also available as a transition board variant (CB29AH). The CB29H and CB29AH boards are high voltage versions of the CB29 with the high voltage traces running on inner layers to afford additional safety, and protection from contamination. Each contains four 16-pole screw terminal blocks that will accept bare wires from 12- to 30-gauge in size. The metal jaws firmly grip an inserted wire without damaging or distorting the end, and the space between each terminal block may be used as a wire channel to guide wires neatly to the side. For each channel, a pair of holes is provided through which wire ties may be inserted to hold the wire bundles in place.

Pin-Mapping for Custom Connectors, Test Fixtures, UUTs | Cable & Harness Testers

PinMap™ - CAMI Research Inc. (CableEye®)

Check out this fast and super-easy pin-mapping process enabled by our optional CableEye^® PinMap™ software. Map as fast as you can move the probe from one pin to the next. Use on your custom connectors, test fixtures, specially-built connector panels, or pigtail adapters to your CableEye tester. This software assigns test point numbers to connector types and applies standard pin designations to the pin numbers. For each custom connector, first choose a connector graphic from our large library to match your connector. Then touch the tester probe to the connector pins one-by-one to automatically detect and assign a test point to each pin. A synthetic voice reads probed pins as you touch them so you don’t need to take your eyes off the connector you’re probing. Finally, enter pin labels of your choice if you wish to override the standard designations.

Guided Assembly | Cable Harness Testers

Autobuild™ - CAMI Research Inc. (CableEye®)

Our optional, add-on AutoBuild™ software (Item 728) offers Guided Assembly for cables and wire harnesses. Use a supplied probe, or a finger with wrist strap, to touch an unterminated wire and the software shows (and says) exactly where the wire should be connected. As the operator attaches each new wire, AutoBuild checks the entire assembly and provides a clear checklist showing all completed good connections. When using our resistance-capable testers, you may connect diodes and resistors by name and value, check resistance values over the tester's specified range, and test conduction and isolation resistance against specified thresholds. Programmable tones accompany the graphic screen to give clear signals to the operator when good connections are completed or when incorrect connections, resistance violations, or diode insertions are detected. Combine with our Light Director™ option for light-guided assembly.
