External Connections
There are two connectors provided specifically for remote monitoring of the Test Set during
fault finding activities.
Intended to be connected to a simplex two way radio to enable an operator to be remote from
the tester but still hear activity if a PIM incident is disturbed on the line under test.
Connector 1: ALARM OUT 2.5 mm stereo phone jack
A dry contact closure between the tip and ring of this connector when the PIM threshold is
exceeded. Typically connected to the PTT (Push To Talk) of a two way radio.
Connector 2: TONE OUT 3.5 mm stereo phone jack
Low level tone output prior to speaker driver amplifier, tone level control controls level to this
port. Audio is available on the tip and ring (ring is also connected to ground) of the connector.
Typically connected to the MIC input of the two way radio, output is DC isolated.
