About Ultrasonic Cable Height Meter

The Ultrasonic Cable Height Meter with the Horizontal Adapter can be used for depth measurement, (examples: An elevator shaft or well) provided there is sufficient width to permit a proper ultrasonic reflection. (1.4m either side of the centre of ultrasonic beam at 23 metres distance)

Features:

For measuring the height up to 6 cables together
Convenient to take measurement, easy to aim at the measuring position and to read measuring results.
For measuring the distance between wire and wire
Be applicable to different use of cables
Uses large measuring sensor, higher accuracy than existing cable height meter in market
Compact and easy to take along.
For measuring dimension of house and distance between objects
The temperature compensation function enables the unit compensates error automaticlly under the temperature of -10C+40c, and ensures the measuring accuracy on different temperature conditions

Measure Multiple Overhead Cables Effortlessly

Efficiently assess the height and spacing of up to six overhead cables at once with this handheld meter. Its ultrasonic paired transducer technology ensures fast, accurate results, even when cables are closely positioned. The clear LCD display supports quick data interpretation, making it suitable for various outdoor work environments and infrastructure projects.

Durable and User-Friendly Design

Engineered for outdoor reliability, the device is housed in robust ABS plastic and meets IP54 ingress protection standards. Its lightweight and ergonomic structure allow for convenient handheld usage in the field. Low battery indication and an extended 12-month battery life enhance productivity by reducing interruptions during routine measurements.

FAQs of Ultrasonic Cable Height Meter:

Q: How do I use the Ultrasonic Cable Height Meter to measure cable heights?

A: Position the device directly below the cables you want to measure, ensuring a clear line of sight. Use manual controls to power on the meter and select the measurement mode. The ultrasonic transducers emit signals upward, capturing reflections from the cables to determine their height, which is then displayed digitally.

Q: What types of cables or environments can this meter be used in?

A: This instrument is suitable for measuring the height, spacing, and sag of various overhead cables and wires in outdoor environments. Its IP54 rating and wide operating temperature range from -10C to +50C ensure reliable operation in changing weather and moderate humidity ( 85% RH).

Q: When should I replace the battery, and what type is required?

A: The device operates on a standard 9V alkaline battery. With normal use, the battery can last up to 12 months. A low battery indicator on the display alerts you when its time to replace the battery to maintain optimal performance.

Q: Where is the best location to use the Ultrasonic Cable Height Meter?

A: For best results, use the meter outdoors under the cables to be measured, away from obstructions that might interfere with the ultrasonic signal. It is optimized for direct line-of-sight measurements up to 23 meters high.

Q: What is the measurement process, and how long does it take to get a result?

A: Simply aim the meter at the cables and activate the measurement mode; the ultrasonic transducers will assess distances in less than 1.0 second. Resultsincluding cable height, spacing, and sagare instantly shown on the digital LCD display.

Q: What are the key benefits of using this cable height meter?

A: The device is portable, lightweight (350 g), offers precise measurements (0.5% or 23 cm accuracy), and supports quick, simultaneous reading of up to six cables. Its durable build, low battery notification, and fast response time make it highly practical for field technicians and utility workers.

Q: How accurate are the measurements obtained with this device?

A: With a high-precision ultrasonic transducer, the meter delivers measurements accurate to 0.5% or 23 cm, with a fine resolution of 1 mm, ensuring reliable data for installation, maintenance, and safety checks of overhead cables.
