Hipotronics TDR 1150 Time Domain Reflectometer Repair
The TDR 1150 is a time domain reflectometer for cable fault prelocation — it sends a pulse down a cable and reads the reflections to locate opens, shorts, and impedance changes, and to measure cable length. As a measurement-and-display instrument, its faults concentrate in the pulse transmitter, the receiver, and the display.
June Company repairs and calibrates the TDR 1150 for cable crews and contractors prelocating faults.
Common TDR 1150 problems we fix
- Display failure — the most common TDR 1150 complaint; a blank, dim, or damaged display that makes traces unreadable, repaired.
- Weak or no trace — pulse-transmitter degradation that flattens the reflection, restored for clean traces.
- Can’t see distant or small faults — receiver sensitivity loss, recalibrated.
- Length/distance readings off — timing-reference drift affecting distance accuracy.
- Won’t power up or hold a charge — power and battery faults.
FAQs
My TDR display died — worth repairing? Yes. Display repair is routine and far cheaper than replacement. We fix the display and verify the pulse/receiver performance while it’s here.
Do you recalibrate distance accuracy? Yes — verified against our reference standards with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
