Operation Directions:
Dialing:
LED is ON by pressing “HOOK key” to talk and there will be a sound to dial number. To end talk press “HOOK key”.
Receiving:
Press “HOOK key” to talk when the tester is ringing. To end talk press “HOOK key”.
Redial:
Press “REDIAL”, and redial the last telephone number. If it is busy, please hang and press redial again.
Incoming call number display:
This function is only used in the line which has incoming call number display service and the function can check the line repair quality, the incoming call number will be displayed when it receives the FSK or DTMF incoming call. The number can be refreshed automatically.
If the incoming call number is secret and it will be displayed as:
If the size of incoming call number exceeds the range and it will be displayed as:
If the incoming call signal is wrong and it will be displayed as:
Mute function:
Connect clamps to the telephone line, press Hook and then press “MUTE”, the other side cannot hear our voice, and press “MUTE” again, it becomes normal.
High DC voltage indication:
Connect this tester to the telephone line, if there is high DC voltage, the H-DCV light will be bright all the time. Do not off-hook to damage the tester.
Tester test:
AC V & DC V Test:
- In the normal status, press “Phone/Tester” (“Phone/Tester” LED on) to have the voltage test.
- If there is high AC voltage in the line the LCD display like following and there is fluting sound. Remove the clamp quickly.
- The LCD will display the line voltage value automatically if there is DC voltage in the line.
Purpose:
This function can be used to test whether the ringing up/off voltage of line is normal or not; it can help lineman to distinguish the positive port and negative port of the line quickly.
Insulation Test:
- Press “Phone/Tester” in the normal status to judge there is no voltage in the line, and keep pressing “Test” about 3 seconds to test the insulation. The LCD will display the insulation resistance figure automatically.
- If the insulation resistance is less than 10MΩ and there is the fluting sound, it means the insulation resistance figure of the line is in small side and there is bad insulation fault.
Earth Insulation:
Connect the black clamp to earth line and the red clamp to the test line. The LCD will display the earth insulation degree.
Check wire pairs
- Fix the side A and side B in normal communication status from the agreed line.
- The man in the side A tell the man in the side B which line links with the red clamp, and make this line as assistant line.
- The man in the side B twist one of the checking lines with the assistant line and keep on communicating the status with side A.
- Then, the man in the side A use the assistant line C which insert into the charge hole to touch the core line one by one, until both sides hear the flute sound .
- Repeat the process by checking the other lines in the similar way.
High AC voltage detect and alarm
Press the “Phone/Tester” and then press the monitor (“Mon”) .When the tester is near the line circuit which has high AC voltage; Monitor LED is on and there is alarm sound. Take care and operate it carefully.
Purpose: The safety of the line can be tested before by using this function and to avoid the danger effectively.
Charge
- The charger LED is ON after inserting the output plug of charger into charge hole and the charger into 220V socket.
- The duration of charging is 8 to 10 hours.
- Do not press “Phone/Tester” during the charge process; if pressed there will be the fluting sound.
- If the tester is not used for a long time, charge it full for storage, and charge the tester every 30 days.
Note:
Reference values of duration time under different status as below:
| 180mAH NI-MH battery | Theoretic service time | Actual use time |
| Standby Time | 80 days | More than 30 days |
| Talkback | 4 hours | More than 2.8 hours |
| Insulation Test | 3 hours | More than 2.7 hours |
| Voltage test | 10 hours | More than 8 hours |
| Induction Voltage | 5 hours | More than 4.4 hours |
| Monitor | 18 hours | More than 15 hours |
Accessories
- Main test line
- The soft test line has the terminal box and special clamp.
- When the voltage is tested, the red line is the anode and the black line is cathode.
- To test using the special clamp of main test line connect every kind of telephone line.
- RJ11 linking line
It can be inserted into the socket in the wall or used to test the telephone line through terminal box.
