Product Overview
The XHSB505DS Intelligent Cable Identifier is a next-generation professional instrument that combines PSK (Phase Shift Keying) technology with precise algorithms for automated, error-proof cable identification. Unlike conventional analog pointer-based identifiers, the XHSB505DS features a 3.5-inch color LCD display with intelligent decoding that automatically verifies whether a cable is the target — displaying a green tick (√) for successful identification or a red-orange cross (*) for non-target cables. This eliminates the ambiguity of manual pointer interpretation typical of traditional identifiers.
Designed for power cable testing and commissioning engineers who demand precision and efficiency, the XHSB505DS integrates three instruments into one: a live cable identifier, a de-energized cable identifier, and an AC voltage/current/frequency measurement tool. The flexible Rogowski coil receiving clamp accommodates cables up to 200mm in diameter, including irregularly shaped conductors, while the multi-frequency transmission (625Hz, 1562Hz, 2500Hz, 10kHz) ensures reliable signal detection across diverse cable types and field conditions.
🔍 What Makes the XHSB505DS Different: Unlike conventional cable identifiers that require operators to manually interpret analog pointer swings — a subjective process prone to error under field conditions — the XHSB505DS uses PSK technology with intelligent algorithms for automated digital verification. The 3.5-inch color LCD displays a clear green tick or red cross, removing all guesswork. Additionally, it is the only cable identifier in its class that combines cable identification with AC voltage (0~600V), AC current (0~5000A), and frequency measurement — making it a true multi-function instrument for professional testing teams who need more than just cable ID.

Working Principle
Live Cable Identification (Caliper Coupling Method): The transmitter couples a composite pulse current signal at the selected frequency (625Hz~10kHz) through the transmitting clamp onto the target three-core armored cable. The pulse current generates a directional electromagnetic field around the cable, which is detected by the flexible Rogowski coil and decoded by the receiver's PSK algorithm. The receiver's intelligent processor verifies signal calibration (75%~135% of transmitted value), direction consistency, and frequency match before displaying the green tick confirmation.
De-Energized Cable Identification (Direct Connection Method): The transmitter outputs a 500V pulse-encoded current signal directly into the cable core via test leads. The encoded current generates an electromagnetic field along the cable length. The receiver's flexible coil detects, decodes, and identifies the target cable through the intelligent PSK algorithm, with results clearly displayed on the color LCD.
⚠️ Important Safety Notes:
Power-off identification: Strictly prohibited to connect to live cables. Live identification: Only applicable to three-core armored cables. Do not mix transmitting and receiving clamps. Input signal direction must be consistent. Cable sheath at both ends must be well grounded for coupling method.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Who is the XHSB505DS designed for and how is it different from basic cable identifiers?
The XHSB505DS is designed for professional cable testing and commissioning engineers, industrial maintenance departments, and utility teams who need more than simple cable identification. Unlike basic analog pointer-based identifiers (such as the XHSB505B) that require subjective manual interpretation, the XHSB505DS uses PSK intelligent algorithms with automated green tick/red X verification — removing all ambiguity and human error. It also uniquely combines three instruments in one: cable identifier + AC voltage meter (0~600V) + AC current meter (0~5000A), making it the choice for teams that need comprehensive field testing capabilities.
Q2: What is PSK technology and why does it improve cable identification accuracy?
PSK (Phase Shift Keying) is a digital modulation technique that encodes data into phase changes of the transmitted signal. In the XHSB505DS, the transmitter generates a precisely encoded pulse signal that the receiver can uniquely recognize and decode through intelligent algorithms. Unlike simple pulse signals used in analog identifiers that can be confused with electrical noise, the PSK-encoded signal provides a unique digital "fingerprint" that dramatically reduces false positives. The receiver's microprocessor verifies frequency match, signal amplitude (75%~135% calibration range), and directional consistency before confirming identification.
Q3: Why choose the flexible Rogowski coil over a traditional rigid clamp?
The flexible Rogowski coil offers three key advantages: (1) Its φ200mm diameter accommodates thick cables and irregularly shaped conductors that cannot fit into rigid clamps; (2) it provides excellent transient tracking ability for the pulse-encoded signals, ensuring accurate waveform capture; (3) it enables non-contact measurement without disconnecting the tested circuit, significantly improving field safety and workflow speed. The coil's flexibility also makes it easier to position in congested cable trenches where rigid clamps are impractical.
Q4: Can this device really measure AC voltage and current in addition to cable identification?
Yes. The XHSB505DS receiver includes a full AC measurement suite: AC voltage from 0.00V to 600V (50/60Hz), AC current from 0.00A to 5000A (50/60Hz), and frequency from 45Hz to 70Hz — all with ±2%±3dgt accuracy. This eliminates the need to carry separate multimeters or clamp meters to the field, streamlining the testing workflow for commissioning and maintenance teams.
Q5: What are the maximum cable lengths this device can test?
For de-energized cable identification (direct connection), the device can detect pulse signals with loop resistance up to 10kΩ — typically corresponding to cable lengths of 0~10 kilometers, depending primarily on grounding resistance and cable conductor resistance. For live cable identification (coupling method), the detection range supports loop resistance up to 200Ω — typically 0~5 kilometers. In both cases, the transmitter battery must be above 11V for optimal performance.
