Model 1670
Portable Arc Reflection Radar
The Model 1670 Portable Arc Reflection Radar delivers advanced fault-locating performance in a rugged, field-ready design. Its precision electronics and large 10.5-inch high-contrast color display provide clear, real-time signal readings in any lighting condition, enabling faster and more confident decision-making. With resolution as fine as one foot on the 500-foot range, the 1670 pinpoints faults over long cable runs with exceptional accuracy. Built for demanding job sites, it combines portability with the durability needed to withstand harsh environments while maintaining all-day operational reliability.
Engineered for seamless integration with thumpers connected to arc reflection couple-filter, the 1670 pre-locates high-resistance pinhole faults, low-resistance faults, splices, and opens in buried primary power cables. Its digital radar captures and holds the fault trace at the instant of the thump, automatically positioning a marker and displaying the distance to the fault. Operators can store up to 100 waveforms, review the 30 most recent arc waveforms, and adjust cable velocity settings to improve distance-to-fault accuracy across different cable types. With automatic distance readout, high-speed sampling, and zoom functionality for extended cable runs, the 1670 gives field crews the clarity and precision needed to locate faults efficiently.
