1 Introduction
ARGUS Copper Box
5
Further features of the ARGUS Copper Box v4:
-
Multiple, preconfigured measurement profiles can be executed as an
auto test.
-
Voltage measurement
enables measurement of the supply voltage (e.g. SHDSL, ISDN-
BRI U, POTS), as well as external voltages caused e.g. by contact between two wires or
isolation faults.
-
With the aid of
capacitive symmetry measurement
, it is possible to detect asymmetry
in the subscriber line that can result in signal distortions or transmission errors.
-
Capacitance measurement
detects interruptions as well as typical input capacitances
of connected devices and enables estimation of line lengths.
-
Isolation resistance measurement
reveals damage to cable isolation, moisture
penetration or oxidised contact points.
-
With the aid of
resistance symmetry measurement
, it is possible to detect irregula-
rities in the subscriber line that can result in signal distortions or transmission errors.
-
Loop resistance measurement
aids detection of short circuits and estimation of line
lengths.
-
DC current measurement
can be used to detect emergency, external and normal
power feeds as well as breaks in the line.
-
Unbalance measurement (LCL):
This measurement uses a frequency of 1 MHz to
measure asymmetry in a line pair.
-
NEXT measurement:
Measurement of near-end crosstalk at a frequency of 1 MHz.
-
Signature detection
is used to detect the signatures and test terminations (PPAs)
connected to the subscriber line.
-
The
fast cable check
verifies the correctness of a three-pole (Tip/Ring/Ground)
connection.
-
The
integrated remote kit control
lets you remotely set the line end to the desired state
either manually or automatically using a variety of electronic instrument kits.
