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.
Shipping & Returns
Packing your equipment. You are responsible for packaging equipment adequately for transit. We strongly recommend the original manufacturer’s case, or double-boxing with at least two inches of shock-absorbing material on all six sides. We return your equipment in the packaging it arrived in, so please send it in packaging that will survive the return trip as well. If your packaging is damaged or inadequate for the return, we will substitute suitable packaging and may charge the cost of materials.
Insurance. Equipment is not insured by June Company while in transit. We strongly recommend insuring your shipment for its full replacement value.
Risk of loss. Risk of loss remains with you until your equipment is received at our facility, and transfers back to you when your repaired unit is delivered to the carrier (F.O.B. shipping point). June Company is not responsible for equipment lost, delayed, misdelivered, or damaged in transit, in either direction.
Return label. A prepaid and preprinted return shipping label should be included with your shipment. If one is not included, we will provide one.
Transit damage. Damage occurring in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. It is not a warranty defect and is not covered by the 90-day repair warranty. Any claim must be filed by you with the carrier; we will supply photographs and documentation to support it at no charge.
