Complete Cable Testing Solutions
Whether you build and test a large, complex harnesses or produce large quantities of smaller cables, we have a testing system for your cable manufacturing process.
Wire Harness Testers
Harness testers, or large point count systems, provide maximum operator control, historical tracking and reporting capabilities, and can expand to tens of thousands of points. The tester’s points can be distributed around the device you want to test. This flexibility means harness testers can be mounted into standard equipment racks or rolling cart system.
5150
The Cirris 5150 provides capable high voltage cable testing and has the flexibility to integrate with automated equipment. The unit supports common PLC-machine communication protocols, digital IO, custom software applications, and high voltage testing options.
CH2
The CH2 performs complete high voltage testing on large harnesses and complex devices. Easy-to-use software simplifies high voltage testing. The tester is the most compact in its class yet can expand to fit your testing requirements.
8100
The 8100 is a practical and capable wire harness tester system. Its small, compact units are non-intrusive to your space and can be expanded to accommodate the number of test points for your needs. Easy-Wire software allows for fast test setup.
Cable Testers
Cable testers, also called benchtop systems or small point count systems, are fast and easy to use. Their self-contained design means they do not need to be operated by an independent PC. Cirris benchtop cable testers scan the device you are testing faster than most other systems on the market. Cable testers can test up to 1024 test points and most Cirris models can apply high voltages up to 2000 VDC / 1000 VAC.
4200
The Cirris 4200 cable tester provides an easy-to-use low voltage testing platform to test for errors. The Cirris adapter system allows it to be quickly setup to connect to your device under test.
Easy-Touch® Pro
The Easy-Touch Pro is a self-contained high voltage cable tester designed for easy integration within your manufacturing process. With integrated Windows OS and Cirris software, it provides flexibility and reliability.
4250
The 4250 is a self-contained high voltage cable tester optimized for testing cables quickly and easily. The intuitive software interface and flexible hardware system make testing cables quick and easy.

Cirris Testers in Your Assembly Process
Cirris has tools to ensure you wire every connector in your assembly correctly. Once the final assembly is complete, test for continuity, shorts, and opens. When applicable, run a high voltage test to ensure the quality and reliability of the electrical properties of the assembly.
Cable Device Under Test
Test Interface Cables
Testing should not be the final step in the assembly process. Cirris harness testers identify errors and help you correct them as you wire your device.
Example: Benchtop Cable Test
Cirris cable testers are ideal for analyzing large batches of identical cables. In this illustration, a batch of completed cables (left) are each tested on a Cirris tester using Cirris adapters. Each test cycle duration is only seconds, allowing large batches of cables to be tested at speed. Any failed cables can be flagged for rework or disposal.
Cirris Adapters
The Cirris Adapter System allows you to quickly and easily change between different connector types. This provides better throughput on your production line as you can quickly change to your desired connector and start your next test batch.
Adding Test Points
Cable Testers
Cable testers come standard with 128 test points. Expansion boxes are easily purchased and attached to provide more test points—up to 1,024 points total. Expansion boxes can be used with base units of the same family for even greater flexibility and costs savings.
Connecting an expansion box to an Easy-Touch® Pro tester
Easy-Touch Pro cable tester with multiple expansion boxes attached.
Harness Testers
Cirris testers can add more test points at the time of purchase or as needed later. The CH2 expands first by the number a test point cards in a chassis, then by adding another chassis with more cards. Add up to 100,000 test points in various increments depending on the Cirris tester.
CH2 unit with a single scanner card set of 160 test points
CH2 unit with a full scanner card set of 800 test points
CH2 system expanded to 2,400 test points
