Tempo Sidekick T&Nd Twisted Pair MultiTester
The Sidekick T&Nd is a multifunction test set that will improve
any
technician’s testing and trouble shooting capabilities on twisted pair.
It uses digital technology to combine VOM and loop current
tests,
longitudinal balance (Stress Test), transmission and noise, open
locator,
and load coil detection into one easy-to-use test set. The
test
functions can be selected and used individually, or run automatically
by
using the innovative Autotest. Autotest can perform 22
consecutive
individual diagnostic tests and displays a test summary when
completed.
Test results are displayed on a 4 line, 20 character, digital LCD
display.
This eliminates meter interpretation errors and provides the user
with a
clear numerical readout.
Sidekick T&Nd also includes Tempo’s patented Stress Test and
Leakage
Test. Stress Test measures the audible noise produced on a pair
when
it is “stressed” as a result of a 90 dBrnC longitudinal
excitation. The
Stress Test determines the capacitive and series
resistance balance
characteristics of a twisted pair at any point along the
pair. It can
detect imbalances that other test sets miss and is highly
effective in
identifying series resistance opens (high joints). The
Leakage Test
detects intermittent resistance faults that do not appear under
normal
VOM tests. When a faulted pair is taken out of service, galvanic
action
forms an insulating oxide layer over the fault(s). When returned
to
service, such pairs develop “noisy static” in a relatively short period
of
time. The Leakage Test uses 135 Volts to “punch through” the
oxide
layer and reveal the fault.
