TINSLEY 5915 TONE GENERATOR

TINSLEY 5915 TONE GENERATOR

The Tinsley Electroding Generator, type 5915, has been developed with British Telecom to locate submarine telephone cables. The method employed is the well established electroding technique. The unit is self-contained, desk top mounting, enabling tests to be carried out without the power feed connected to the cable under test.

The 5915 Tinsley Electroding Generator is intended as an aid to cable repair ships in locating and identifying telephone cables. The electroding generator energises the submarine cable with low frequency sine wave signal of up to 500mA at 500 volts peak to peak. 

The Electroding Generator is a low frequency oscillator with a sine wave output capable of delivering up to 500mA at 500 volts peak to peak at any frequency from 5Hz to 40Hz. The frequency is selected by digital thumbwheel switches. Peak current is set via a front panel rotary control. The Current and Voltage levels are clearly displayed on Front Panel Precision Analogue Meters.
