Cable Testing Instructions

The LDCE can also test the internal 9V battery voltage. To test
the battery, follow the steps below:

Turn the selector switch on your DVOM (Digital Volt Ohm
Meter) to the VDC position; if the meter is not auto
ranging, set it to 20VDC. If the reading is less than 8VDC,
the battery should be changed.

To access the battery, screw in the two lock-down screws
on the front cover using a 1/16” (1.59mm) allen wrench.
Remove the two push button caps. Lift the cover and
replace the battery.

Back out the lock-down screws from the unit until they are
flush with the bottom cover. Replace the push button
caps onto the unit.

Follow the steps below to perform maintenance and
troubleshooting tests on SeaHawk Leak Detection Cable (SC):

Power down the control head and disconnect the SC
cable to be tested from its leader cable. Connect the
LDCE interface cable to the SC cable receptacle. The
LDCE can test one cable or a string of cables, up to a total
length of 5,000 feet (1,524m).

Connect the LDCE meter leads up to your multi-meter.
Connect the Red to the Voltage (V) input, connect the
Black to the Common (COM) and connect the Blue to the
Micro Amp input (uA). DO NOT hook the leads up
backwards, you will blow the internal fuse in your meter.

Set the current meter’s selector switch so you can read
the current at 200uA.

Push the cable test button and record the meter reading.
A reading less than 25uA is acceptable. A reading greater
than 25uA indicates the cable needs attention. It may be
necessary to separate mated pairs of cable and test each
section individually to isolate the problem cable.

To check the accuracy of the test current, press the Cable
Test button and ensure that your meter displays a reading
of approximately 180uA. If not, change the battery in the
current source and retest for the proper value.

NOTE: The uA reading will be lower if the internal 9V
battery is low.
