KEYS and CONNECTIONS description

(Refer to LAY-OUT represented on the previous page)

1) POWER Key to switch ON and OFF the instrument:

just a touch to SWITCH ON and press for 2 seconds to SWITCH OFF.

2) 2/4W - Key to select the operating mode:

- 2W (2 wires) to measure the Return Loss (echo-signal attenuation) with a single instrument using the internal active hybrid circuit or the line attenuation or tele Cross-Talk with two instruments, each one of them, at the opposite side of the cable. - 4W (4 wires ) to measure the near Cross-Talk with a single instrument (using the TX output and RX input) at the same side of the cable. (see LT2000 - Field Application table at page 16).

3) TX Key to switch OFF and ON the generator press.

Used to reduce the power consumption of the batteries when the LT2000 is used only as receiver in 2 or 4 wire mode (pressing a second time the key the generator starts working again). When the generator is OFF, the display shows OFF instead of 0 dBm.

4) REL Pressing this key, the last measure is frozen and subsequently
subtracted from the next measures and the dBm indication changes to dBr. Pressing the key again, the absolute value in dBm is restored.

5) RUN Key for starting, reading values and getting out from the automatic
measurement pre-selected by the FUN key (11). At the first pressure of the key the automatic measurement starts. At the end of the automatic measurement the display shows Done and the frequency and the level of the stronger measured signal is immediately shown; further pressures on the key call back on the display: - frequency and level of the poorer measured signal; - for Noise measurement only, pressing again, the evaluated RMS level of Noise on pre-selected band-width is shown too; ATEN LT2000 Line Tester Page 6 / 18

6)

- Arrows to increase and decrease the digit value indicated by the cursor; - Arrows to move the digit cursor left and right.

7) FREQ - Key allowing to program the generator and receiver frequency.

At the first pressing of the key, the display shows Freq Set and the frequency free setting is enabled by (6) keys. At the second pressing of the key, the display shows QuickSet and the quick setting of standard pre-set frequencies is enabled by (6) keys: 800, 850, 1.020 Hz e 20, 40, 80, 150, 300, 750, 1.024, 1.500, 2.000 kHz.

8) TALK - Key to enable and disable the intercom function, activating the
microphone, to allow communications between operators at opposite sites of the line. This function disables the generator automatically. When this function is active on the display appears TALK.

9) HOLD - Key to switch OFF and ON the receiver.

In this mode, the display keep showing the last measurements values. This function too, is useful to limit batteries consumption. When in pause the display shows Hold.

10) Zo - Key setting TX output and RX input impedance:

BATTERIES CHARGING INFORMATION

Charging of the batteries
The internal batteries have to be charged using the supplied charger, or an equivalent one, granting 13.5 VDC and 1A. Connecting the battery charger to DC connector (14), the display will show: - CHARGING while charging ( 3 hours). - CHARGED when the charging is done. The instrument may be used while charging.

Very important:
High room temperature may deceive the temperature sensor of the batteries, therefore charging the batteries in a cool and airy environment is advised.

AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENTS DESCRIPTION

Below, functions for automatic measurements are described. AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENTS IN SCAN MODE With these functions, the selective meter and frequency generator tune changes automatically within a pre-selected band. The purpose is to find automatically the frequency of the signal with a minimum or maximum level, and, as far as Noise measurement is concerned, the RMS weighed value on pre-selected band *. The band limits are fixed by the Start and the Stop frequency setting; also the Step-frequency is selectable. For these functions the instrument automatically combines an IN/OUT impedance of 600 for Base Band (200 10,000 Hz) measurements, and an IN/OUT impedance of 150 for High Band (10 2,000 kHz) measurements. In Scan mode it is possible to carry out the following measurements: - CROSSTALK (near) in 4 Wires mode; - RETURN LOSS in 2 Wires mode; - NOISE or LEVEL in 2 or 4 Wires mode; - LONGITUDINAL BALANCE in 4 Wires mode.

SWEEP GENERATOR By this function the instrument generator sweeps automatically from "Start" frequency to "Stop" frequency, by frequency "Steps". Each value is programmable.

Note*: Independently from selected Steps, the measurement is carried out on a bandpass of 100 Hz. The displayed value is normalised to a frequency band equivalent the selected step.

EXAMPLE FOR FIELD APPLICATIONS

note *) Should RUN key be pressed before the scanning is finished, the measurement will stop on that point (frequency) and results will be good up to that point. note**) At this point, if the scanning was carried out to find and measure the maximum or minimum signal level within the programmed band limits then, the next step (RMS level reading as an equivalent of noise) need not to be taken into consideration.

Attenuation of the line on single frequency

- two instruments (f.e. 40 kHz for ISDN lines)

connect the line to be checked to both instruments TRX balanced connectors; if the technicians on opposite sides of the line wish talking to each other, connect the headsets to both instruments (*); turn the instruments on and set them in 2Wire mode by pressing 2/4 W key; set up TX and RX impedance at 150 by pressing Zo key repeatedly; set frequency at 40.0 kHz by pressing FREQ and keys; switch off the generator (TX OFF) of the instrument intended only for measurements by pressing TX key; on RXLev line of last mentioned instrument, read the line attenuation (read without minus (-) sign and in dB, as the signal level on the opposite side is 0dBm).

Note (*) On switching the intercommunicating system on by pressing TALK key, the generator gets switched off; to get on measuring, it is necessary to switch the intercom off pressing TALK key once again.

Longitudinal Balance measurement on single frequency

This measurement allows to evaluate the balancing of the line under test in order to consider its degree of immunity to interfering signals as well its possible low insulation towards ground or possible copper pairs mismatching. A greater attenuation of the differential signal measured at both ends of the line, points out a better symmetry of the same towards the ground or any other reference point. Due to the kind of measurement, it is necessary its being carried out using a ground reference or a free copper pair on the same cable where no ground is available.
