Linemans Test - RJ-11 with ABN Set Cord

The Lineman's Test Set is a professional piece of equipment designed for telephone installers, repair technicians, and phone system maintenance personnel. This durable, line-powered device is full of features for testing existing and newly installed communications systems for proper functionality.

The bright red handset is both impact and water resistant. The rubber-covered keypad and large slide switches are designed for use with gloves, making this a convenient tool for line workers. The large, heavy-duty alligator clips support five different types of wire connections, including a bed-of-nails and an insulation piercing spike. The connecting cord is covered in cloth for durability and is equipped with a strain-relief connection at the RJ11X connector. A heavy-duty, spring-loaded belt clip allows the handset to be conveniently hung from a maintenance belt.

The tester has a three-position volume switch, which can provide up to 12 dB of volume gain. The ring mode Can be set to send either DTMF tones or rotary dial pulses. A three-position mode switch allows the tester to be set to Monitor.

The Monitor mode provides a high-impedance coupling to the telephone line, allowing it to be monitored without interfering with existing conversations, data transmissions, or signalling. The Ring mode allows the tester to be on-hook with an electronic ringer connected to the telephone line. This provides a low-impedance coupling to the telephone line for monitoring of optional line identification tones. The Talk mode allows the technician to seize the line or initiate signalling. From this mode a number Can be dialed using the keypad. Hanging up the line is as simple as switching to the Ring or Monitor mode.
