2
Pair Identification Options
  • The ATV-25 provides features useful in automatic and manual pair identification.
3
ID Tone
  • ID Tone is compatible with standard tone probes in use in the field.
  • Dual frequency capability and multiple modes are provided to meet most applications.
  • The table below shows the frequency and mode options available.
4
Automatic Tone Search
  • Automates the process of tone probing for a pair
  • More accurate than using an inductive probe
  • Searches 25 pair
  • Works with standard tone probes
  • 577 Hz and 1004 Hz tone supported
  • Searches for metallic or simplex tone
5
Automatic Tone Search
  • The Tone Search result screen shows a matrix of the 25 pairs. Pairs with tone that meets the internal threshold have black backgrounds.
  • The display indicates the frequency, mode and the identified pair, 14 in this case.
6
Automatic Pair Identification
  • Matches AC and DC parameters for the pair at the local and remote locations
  • Multiple remote units may be used to increase the capability to 50, 74, or 100 pair
  • Pairs are typically identified within 6 seconds


7
End-toEnd Pair Confirmation
  • Verifies Tip and Ring continuity between the local and remote locations
  • Reports opens and reversals
  • Tests working and vacant pairs
  • Measures Tip-Ring and Tip to ground resistance values on vacant pairs
  • Results are stored electronically for uploading to a PC.
8
Optimizing Effort
  • Pair Identification
    • Tone Generator
    • Continuity Checks
  • Record Updates
  • Preventive Maintenance
9
Optimizing Test Time
  • Multiple Pair Access
    • Connect 25 pair at a time.
  • Identification of Service
  • Point of Reference for Cable and Pair
    • Tone Generation
    • Tone Search
    • Pair Tagging
  • Electronic Storage of Test Information
