Voltage Test
The Voltage test gives you a “snapshot” measurement of AC and DC voltages
on each leg of a pair. The test can identify hazardous voltage, an idle or busy
POTS line, a Special Service circuit “footprint”, or a cross-to-battery fault.
Setting Up a Voltage Test
To set up a Voltage test, select the test on the POTS Toolbox and press
D(
Setups). Refer to Table 4-2 for Voltage test setup parameters.
