Baur TDR 500 Time Domain Reflectometer Repair
The Baur TDR 500 is a portable time domain reflectometer — a compact field reflectometer for quick cable fault prelocation and length measurement, using velocity-factor and reflection-coefficient settings to read cable faithfully. As a handheld measurement instrument, faults are transmitter, receiver, display, and battery faults.
June Company repairs and calibrates the TDR 500 for field technicians needing a quick, portable reflectometer.
Common TDR 500 problems we fix
- Velocity-factor / reflection readings off — measurement or timing drift affecting distance accuracy, recalibrated so readings are trustworthy.
- Weak or no trace — pulse-transmitter degradation, repaired.
- Receiver sensitivity loss — can’t see small or distant faults, restored.
- Display failure — blank or unreadable on the handheld, repaired.
- Won’t hold a charge — battery degradation, replaced.
FAQs
My distance readings are wrong — fixable? Yes. We recalibrate the timing and velocity-factor handling so distance and reflection-coefficient readings are accurate again, with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Can you replace the battery too? Yes — battery and charging service is routine on these.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
