Description

HVI CDS-3616U Cable Fault Locator Repair

The HVI CDS-3616U is a complete cable diagnostic and fault-location system from High Voltage Inc. — it integrates surge generation (thumping), TDR prelocation, and a pinpoint receiver into one unit for the full locate workflow. With several functions on board, repairs span surge rebuilds, TDR recalibration, and receiver restoration.

June Company repairs and calibrates the HVI CDS-3616U for utility fault crews on power-cable systems.

Common HVI CDS-3616U problems we fix

  • Surge generator rebuild — HV supply, capacitor, and discharge-switch service to restore full thump energy.
  • TDR recalibration — the prelocation reflectometer drifting or weak, recalibrated for clean traces.
  • Receiver sensitivity restoration — the pinpoint receiver losing sensitivity, restored.
  • Internal HV arcing — insulation breakdown from cumulative stress.
  • Control, display, or interlock faults.

FAQs

My CDS won’t thump or pinpoint — repairable? Yes. We isolate which stage failed — surge, TDR, or receiver — repair it, and verify the complete prelocate-to-pinpoint workflow end to end.

Are all functions verified? Yes — surge, TDR, and receiver are tested together, with documented results.

Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
