Internal Test Record Storage
The CT-7000 S2 can store up to 150 test records in Flash EEPROM. Test records can be retrieved
and printed on the built-in thermal printer, or they can be transferred to a PC via the unit’s RS-
232C or USB interface.
Internal Breaker Test Plan Storage
The CT-7000 S2 can store up to 99 circuit-breaker test plans. Test plans are comprised of all
circuit-breaker performance specifications (stroke, velocity, and contact time). A test plan can
be used to immediately test a circuit-breaker. A pass/fail report is then generated by comparing
actual performance with the specifications in the stored test plan. Test plans can also be
generated on a PC and transferred to the CT-7000 S2 via the unit’s RS-232C or USB interface.
Computer Interface
The CT-7000 S2 can be computer-controlled via its RS-232C or USB interface. A Windows®
XP/Vista/7-compatible Breaker-Analysis software application is provided with each unit. Using
this software, circuit-breakers can be timed from the PC. Test records can be retrieved from the
CT-7000 S2 and then stored on the PC for future analysis and report generation. Circuit-breaker
test plans can also be created on the PC and transferred to the CT-7000 S2. Additionally, test
records can be exported in Microsoft® Excel format for further analysis.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The CT-7000 S2 can perform diagnostics on its internal electronics. Diagnostics can be
performed to verify contact cable connections and to test the travel transducer’s electronics.
User Interface
The CT-7000 S2 features a back-lit LCD screen (20 characters by 4 lines) that is viewable in both
bright sunlight and low-light levels. A rugged, 16-key, membrane keypad is used to control the
unit.
Built-in Thermal Printer
The CT-7000 S2’s built-in 4.5-inch wide thermal printer can print the breaker contact analysis
results in both tabular and graphic formats.
