Manual Overview
The BK Precision Model 205 Universal Cable Tester is designed for testing cables and harnesses with up to 128 test points. It quickly identifies opens, shorts, and miswires by comparing test results to a golden file or a baseline from a sample cable. The tester displays errors on an LCD or prints them, providing a wire list for reworking. It includes a universal adapter card that accommodates up to 22 connectors, allowing testing of cables with multiple or different connectors without changing modules. The device is controlled via four multiplexed keys, each serving multiple functions such as selecting pin numbers, starting tests, and printing wire lists. The tester’s memory can store wire lists for up to 50 cables, backed up by a battery. Error messages and wire lists can be printed for diagnostics. A test probe is included for wire identification and debugging. The instrument features a reset key for returning to default settings and clearing memory. The manual provides detailed instructions for operation, including error message interpretation and rework guidance.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose opens, shorts, and miswires with error messages.
- Retrieve and test using stored programs for cable diagnostics.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing with adapter card interface.
