BAUR Software 4
Software package for cable fault location, cable testing and cable diagnostics
Efficient. Cost-saving. Forward-looking.
The BAUR Software 4 is a software package for cable fault location, cable testing, and cable diagnostics. It enables efficient monitoring of the condition of cable networks in combination with BAUR hardware.
The BAUR Software 4 scope of performance far exceeds standard features; the operator is also assisted by the intuitive operational concept and helpful support functions.
BAUR Software 4 – the advantages
Connect and go – the new operational concept
An ergonomic and intuitive software interface speeds up work processes and makes it easier for operators to do their jobs. Standardised sequences are simple to call up and start, while the software guides operators through more complex measuring tasks. Measurement results are clearly presented and can be interpreted at a glance. This means that new staff can easily find their way around the interface and quickly obtain reliable results. However, the software also offers an expert mode in which experienced measurement engineers have direct control over processes and parameters. Help is also at hand for users whilst locating faults, with cable data and measured values linked to maps so that operators can quickly see where the problem lies.
The BAUR Software 4 display enables clear visualisation of all important settings, fault location parameters, and cable data. The bottom part of the screen shows the measurement results and allows important events to be logged straight away.
Easy and comprehensive evaluation of cable networks
The new BAUR Software 4 allows you to quickly detect and evaluate the cable condition in accordance with your own diagnostics philosophy. The intuitive operational concept supports asset managers and measurement engineers working on site, firstly with the extremely efficient measurement process and secondly through precise condition monitoring of cable networks. In short: The BAUR Software 4 elevates application and evaluation to a new level – thereby enabling further optimisation of the condition-based maintenance of cable networks.
Our software – your benefits:
- Better decisions based on comprehensive condition evaluation of the cable network
- Saves time on site thanks to automated sequences and report generation
- Easy operation thanks to the intuitive operational concept
BAUR Software 4 is the ideal partner for your individual cable diagnostics process

BAUR Software 4 for intuitive cable fault location
The BAUR Software 4 covers all the solutions for cable fault location, cable testing, and cable diagnostics, ensuring efficient and precise condition monitoring for cable networks when used in conjunction with BAUR hardware. It includes well-established measurement methods for cable fault location as well as innovative approaches such as Conditioning-SIM/MIM, enabling even faster and more effective localisation of wet cable faults that are difficult to locate.
Non-destructive and safe pin-pointing
through remote control of titron® via smartphone or tablet
By switching the high voltage on and off in a targeted manner, the stress on the cable and the system is reduced to the necessary minimum and operator safety is significantly increased.

Predictive maintenance of medium-voltage networks:
Using in-house specifications to improve cable diagnostics
Knowledge about the cable condition is essential for achieving target-oriented and cost-effective maintenance and replacement of medium-voltage cables. Cable diagnostics helps provide reliable information about the status of medium-voltage cables and accessories. So that network operators are able to perform diagnostics more quickly and in accordance with their own specifications, Baur GmbH developed the Baur Software 4. With the current release, the operator can define individual standards for the measurements and tests, specify evaluation criteria, and generate consistent reports. This ensures maximum comparability of the results.

New BAUR Software 4:
Simplifies condition-based maintenance
The new BAUR Software 4 combines functions for cable testing and diagnostics that support both asset managers and engineers in their everyday duties on site. It is suitable for cable testing (VLF truesinus, VLF square wave and DC voltage), cable sheath testing and diagnostics using the dissipation factor or partial discharge testing. The comprehensive measurement methods and new features of the BAUR Software 4 allow you to further optimise the condition-based maintenance of cable networks.

More confidence in medium voltage cable diagnostics - assessment logic and strategic approach (english)
Cable diagnostics based on VLF TanDelta and VLF Partial Discharge measurement is most beneficial, when clear application procedures for new installations, for maintenance test after repair and for regular inspection [Figure 1] are defined and evaluated in network tailored evaluation logics using clear action plans. The remaining lifetime estimation is the latest software invention and allows investment planning for asset managers. Huge saving potentials are realistic when the underground medium voltage cables can be operated to the optimum lifetime, while the reliability of the network is increased at the same time.
