Plus Test Set
Note: Normally there should never be any measurable
amount of AC voltage on a twisted pair. If AC voltage
is detected on a telephone pair, this problem must be
isolated and corrected immediately because AC voltage
may affect other tests. The unit will beep slowly if there
is more than 60 VDC or 30 VAC. The beep is rapid for
voltages greater than 300 VDC and 250 VAC.
3-Lead
To check the AC voltage on 3-lead, press the F3 3-Lead
key.
AC voltage is displayed from the tip-to-ring, tip-to-
ground, and ring-to-ground in sequence, with the active
measurement in bold.
Press the F3 3-Lead key to return the screen to the
single pair AC menu. Press the F4 AC key to switch the
display to DC voltage.
AC meter specifications are as follows:
• Range: 0 to 250 volts
• Resolution:
0 to 9.99 V = 0.01 V
10 to 250 V = 0.1 V
• Accuracy: ±3%
• Frequency response: 40 Hz to 70 Hz
