This multi-purpose CB-T2 fixture can be used for operator training, demonstrations, tester system verification, and facility verification.
From March 2024, the CB-T2 is the default board included at no charge with all new systems and can be purchased separately.
Use of this adapter board is a great way to provide new employees with a practical understanding of CableEye test systems during their orientation. Training may be self-directed with this tool.
Populated with a few common connectors, the board allows trainees to methodically experience how the system responds to opens, shorts, miswires, diodes and diode polarity, resistance, capacitance, intermittent connections, and insulation resistance while at the same time learning to operate the tester.
The adapter board comes with identification LEDs for each connector that may be used to show the trainee operator which connector they must connect. This function requires connection to the remote control port of the tester so is not available for models M2Z or with obsolete model M2U-Basic.
For Tester Verification:
As a system verification tool, the CB-T2 allows operators to verify the tester is working properly by quickly sampling the full spectrum of fault detection without use of example fault cables. The limitation of physical fault cables is that typically one example is needed for each fault. Use of the CB-T2 will provide a faster and more through verification process. The verification cable itself may be learned on first use, and loaded thereafter prior to going through a simple fault simulation procedure.
For Facility Verification:You may also use the board for demonstrating functionality of your CableEye tester to your own customers as a way of creating a quick impression on production quality either during an audit, or during contract negotiations.
For Tech Support:
Use of the CB-T2 is part of the Tech Support diagnostic tool chest and augments the Self Test.
