QuadTech Introduces The Fusion High Voltage Cable Analyzer
Fully Integrated Cable Testing Up to 72 Points

Maynard, MA - QuadTech, Inc., a leading electronic test equipment manufacturer in the passive component, electrical safety, and cable test marketplace, announces the availability of its Fusion High Voltage Cable Tester and Analyzers for testing wire, cable, and harnesses, for opens, shorts, and mis-wires. Eight models are available with choices that include individual or a combination of AC and DC Hipot test capability, and pin counts to the device under test of 36 or 72 points. Its PC based intuitive graphical touch-screen makes for easy setup and operation for cable testing. The highly automated system allows for custom test programming without the need for scripting. Through component recognition cable assemblies can be learned and test programs generated, all automatically.

The Fusion, comprised of a control box and switching box, is ideal for high volume production testing of products ranging from medical device cables and connectors to those used in the aerospace and utility industries. Some of the outstanding features include:
• AC Dielectric Withstand Cable Testing 50 to 3500V
• DC Dielectric Withstand Cable Testing to 50 to 3000V
• Continuity and Resistance Measurements, 2-Wire or 4-Wire
• Insulation Resistance Measurements to 100GΩ
• Capacitance Measurements from 100pF to 1000µF

The Fusion Analyzer offers a number of other features including, auto learn, component testing, reports generation, and includes several standard interfaces. The auto-learn mode uses a known good product as the basis for generating a test program for testing of identical product. By learning the net list of a product a test program is quickly generated for detecting opens, shorts, or mis-wires. The cable tester is also capable of testing product comprised of multiple components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes and switches. The configuration of components can be learned automatically and edited as necessary. Reports can be generated for each product tested, formatted by the user, displayed, saved to a file, or printed via the units RS-232 interface. Other standard interfaces on the Fusion cable tester include a 3 ½ " disk drive for backup of test programs and adaptor library as well as an interface for an external VGA monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Ethernet network interface. The cable tester unit can function as a standalone system or can be easily integrated into a larger automated system using its digital inputs and digital outputs.

For verifying the internal switching system of the Fusion a built-in self-test and diagnostic check can be initiated by the user, and to restrict access to certain functions password protection can inhibit the modifying of test programs and system parameters.
