Fluke Networks TS23 Pro Telephone Test Set

The Fluke Networks TS23 Pro telephone test set, To be had with quite a lot of line cord connectors to fit specific applications, detects dial tone and polarity; places and receives calls; indicates line voltage and current; has a two-way, adjustable-volume speakerphone for hands-free conversation throughout testing of telephone lines; monitors lines without disrupting service; and stores as much as nine 23-digit telephone numbers which will also be speed-dialed by way of the keypad. It provides tone or pulse operation. The test set has two basic modes of operation: talk mode for off-hook operations including verifying dialing and receiving calls, and monitor mode for on-hook operations including checking for an idle line, listening for line noise, and measuring DC voltage on the line. In monitor mode, the test set provides a high impedance coupling to monitor lines without disrupting service. This test set meets IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) safety standard 61010-1:2010 and is rated for CAT I installations to 300VDC, which covers equipment on circuits indirectly connected to mains. It passes a 20′ (6m) drop test and is Ingress Protection certified IP64 for protection against dust and splashed water. The high-visibility glow-in-the-dark keypad has 12 standard dialing keys including star and pound, and serve as keys to store, recall, and redial numbers and to pause for gaining access to a second dial tone when dialing through a PBX (private branch exchange), among other functions. It has six dual-color LEDs that indicate talk mode, polarity, mute, voltage (VDC), current (mA), and battery status. The voltage LED indicates five different levels of voltage and an alarm sounds to indicate voltage greater than 140VDC. The current indicator flashes red for lower than 23mA and flashes green for greater than or equal to 23mA. The test set will also be programmed to turn off routinely after one to 60 minutes (default setting is two minutes) of inactiveness to conserve battery life, and is made of high-affect plastic. A spring-loaded belt clip on the base of the unit provides a protected hold on belt loops and D-rings, and a jack incorporates a headset (sold one after the other). Additional specifications include quite a lot of environmental operating conditions. Telephone test sets, also known as butt sets, are utilized by telecom technicians to troubleshoot and handle copper-wire voice-subscriber lines.

*H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to perfect point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Datacom and telecom installation and test devices, such as toners and test sets, check cabling and wiring to assist make sure that proper connections and operation. Tone generator and probe sets, also known as toners, are used to locate, trace, and isolate cables in copper media networks. Telephone test sets, also known as butt sets, are specialized telephones that connect to telephone lines to check for proper operation and to isolate trouble. Some test sets incorporate a TDR (time-domain reflectometer) and toner for determining cable length and locating faults. Whilst certain devices can be used on live networks, others are only suitable for inactive networks. Field technicians and installers use these devices to set up, handle, and troubleshoot datacom and telecom cabling within a building or in outdoor plant (OSP) applications.
