Stress Test
- Measures the audible noise produced while stressing a pair with a
balanced longitudinal signal approximating a 90 dBrnC Power Influence; read-out
is in decibels above reference noise, C-message weighted (dBrnC) on the meter’s
black scale.
Leakage (RX10K)
- Ohms circuit that applies 135 VDC to a pair to reveal
Resistance Faults masked by galvanic corrosion; measures resistance with mid-
scale (red) at 1,000,000 ohms; performs capacitive “Kick”.
RX1K
- Measures resistance with mid-scale (red) at 100,000 ohms; performs
capacitive “Kick”.
RX1
- Measures resistance with mid-scale (red) at 100 ohms.
NOTE
:
The Sidekick’s Leakage RX10K, RX1K, and RX1 switch labels are color-
coded to match the meter’s red ohms scale.
Rev Switch -
Reverses the polarity of the test being performed; acts as the
Kickmeter switch in the RX10K and RX1K positions.
Tip Switch -
Provides measurement from Tip-to-Ground.
Ring Switch -
Provides measurement from Ring-to-Ground.
Coil Detect
- Identifies up to four load coils on a pair.
Loop Current
- Measures a circuit’s loop current; read-out is in milliamps (mA)
on the meter’s black scale.
PWR Influence (Power Influence)
- Measures the AC induction level on a
circuit; read-out is in decibels above reference noise, C-message weighted
(dBrnC) on the black scale.
CKT. Noise (Circuit Noise)
- Measures the noise level on a circuit; read-out is in
decibels above reference noise, C-message weighted (dBrnC) on the black scale.
CKT. Loss (Circuit Loss)
- Measures the circuit attenuation level from the CO to
the point of test using any of the dial-in voice range tones generated at the CO.
The most commonly used tone is 1004 Hz
T&N Meter –
The red ohms scale measures Fault Resistance. The black scale
measures 0 to 200 AC Volts; 0 to 100 DC Volts; 0 to 100 mA of Loop Current ; 0
to 100 dBrnC of Stressed Noise, Circuit Noise, Power Influence, up to four load
coils, and Capacitance Kick (point scale). The multicolored scale measures
Circuit Loss from –15 dB to the 0 dB reference.
Low Battery Indicator –
LED flashes once a second to indicate failing batteries;
remains lit when measurement accuracy is compromised - replace the batteries
immediately.
