Cable Fault Wizard

The Fault Wizard is a truly portable, relatively inexpensive, and user-friendly fault location system for primary underground cable. The system is based on the new automated arc-reflection technology (AART) developed by IUP. The display shows the distance in feet or meters to the fault location. The display also shows the fault type (open or short), the battery voltage, the velocity of propagation setting, the charge voltage, and whether the system is armed for waveform storage for retrieval and viewing on a computer (desktop or laptop) by utilizing the Fault Wizard Software. However, as stated before, viewing of the waveforms is not required since the Fault Wizard gives an automatic readout of distance to the fault location. Since the system is battery operated, it can be used in remote locations.

The Fault Wizard does not need to be calibrated and there are no serviceable actions needed. If you suspect your Fault Wizard is not performing correctly, we strongly suggest obtaining a test cable. Typically 100' or more, connect to the Fault Wizard in a controlled environment. Use the test cable to work with cable VP and different functions and if questions remain, contact the factories service department.
