Sidekick 7B
Price: $854.83
The Sidekick 7B is the test
set used in every major telephone company
in the United States to troubleshoot twisted pair applications.
This light-weight, hand-held meter quickly and accurately
uncovers intermittent
troubles that other test sets can't detect. Since the introduction of the
patented Stress Test and Leakage Test in 1991, the Sidekick has
become a benchmark in communications technology. Technicians now
have the versatility to identify faults in locations ranging from outside
plant cable to inside wiring, and from closures to connecting blocks,
without sacrificing standard features,e.g., AC/DC, VOM, Kick Meter,
they have come to rely on. The versatile Sidekick 7B is used throughout
the telephony industry, including LAN/WAN, Private Networks, and BICSI
applications.
Stress Test
The Stress Test reads
the audible noise produced on a faulted pair that
is stressed by a 90 dBrn longitudinal excitation. The Stress Test determines
the capacitive and series resistance ba lance characteristics
of twisted pair at any point along the pair. It is
capable of identifying DC
resistive or capacitive imbalances undetected by other subscriber loop
tests. The Stress Test is also highly effective in identifying imbalances
produced by series resistance opens (high joints).
Leakage Test
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 faults.
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.
Features:
-
Determines stressed noise susceptibility of dry and working pairs
-
Measures resistance, AC/DC volts, and capacitive kick
-
Minimal drying effect in all ranges
-
Single setup for testing Tip-Ring, Tip-Ground, and Ring-Ground
-
Provides tone for twisted pair or crossed conductor identification
-
Low Battery indicator light
-
Field replaceable leads
-
Soft case with adjustable strand hook
Benefits:
-
Works
on any twisted pair application
-
Increases technician productivity
-
Reduces service calls
-
Improves customer satisfaction
-
Eliminates service interruptions
-
Provides quick return on investment

Sidekick T&Nd
Price: $1364.08
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.
Features:
- Identifies
defective Inside Wire and jacks
- Measures
resistance, AC/DC volts, quasi square wave, and pair
balance
- Identifies
shorts, opens, crosses and grounds
- Replaces
the need for other meters
- Provides
tone for twisted pair or crossed conductor identification
- Single
set-up for testing Tip-Ring, Tip-Ground, and Ring-Ground
with ground connection
