Cable and Harness Tester

Cable and Harness Tester

The Cable and Harness Tester (CHT) provides multiple testing capabilities for up to 300 connector/harness test points. Test capabilities include DC Insulation Resistance (IR), DC and AC Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (DWV), and 2-Wire and 4-Wire Continuity.

The CHT software provides map profiles for each of its connector banks. This allows the user to assign the unit-under-test pin designators to the tester's pin designators. Tables are used to define test parameters for the individual pins of the unit-under-test. Continuity maps define harness interconnections for 2-Wire and 4-Wire Continuity tests.

The CHT consists of an industrial PC, off-the-shelf instrumentation from HP, Vitrek, and Kepco, and custom high-voltage and high-current multiplexers from Get Control, Inc. Customer specific features may be added upon request.
