SUPARULE - Digital Cable Height Meter

Part No. S600E

In-Built Test/Calibration Mode

The Suparule Digital Cable Height Meter is a handheld meter for measurement of cable sag, cable height distance, and over-head clearance of conductors. It is a modern alternative to telescopic measuring poles. The Suparule Digital Cable Height Meter utilises ultrasonic signals to determine the height of overhead cables up to 23m. Used by operators in a number of industries, the S600E can measure up to 6 wires. The Suparule Digital Cable Height Meter also provides a safer and more convenient method to measure cable heights. Switching to ‘CAL’ mode also allows the instrument to be used indoors.

How the S600E works

The Cable Height Meter emits short bursts of sound which originate from the cone-shaped transmitter. The microprocessor in the instruments calculates the elapsed time for the bursts of sound to be reflected from the cable back to the instrument. The result can be displayed in either metric or imperial format. To account for the fact that speed of sound varies with temperature, a temperature sensor, mounted at the front of the instruments, senses the actual air temperature, and automatically compensates.

Applications include height measurement of:

• Telephone lines
• Distribution lines
• Transmission lines
• Cable television
• Street lighting
• SAG (lowest point to ground)
• Clearances on construction sites
