A true handheld TIMS tester

The AM 4/5/44/48 TIMS is a compact, user-friendly, yet powerful handheld analog transmission test set. Weighing less than 2 lb (0.9 kg), it can easily be transported in a briefcase or can easily slide into a tool kit. It is powered by four AA batteries, an accessory 110/220 VAC adapter/recharger or four AA rechargeable NiCad batteries.

Highlights

  • Ability to measure transmission circuits over the extended voice band 200 Hz to 20 kHz as follows: dBm level or dB loss, frequency, frequency response (attenuation distortion), noise, noise with tone, signal-to-noise ratio, P/AR, 3-level impulse noise, phase and gain jitter, as well as hits and dropouts.
  • It is also equipped with a user-programmable, non-volatile memory.
  • Ability to store up to 10 operator-defined send/measure test configurations, as well as up to 10 operator-defined test tone frequencies.

Applications

  • With built-in dial capability on dial-up networks, it can access a distant responder or a second AM48e for centralized 2-wire testing.
  • Centralized loopback testing using a single unit together with an Ameritec responder.
  • Complete end-to-end test of 4-wire data lines using two AM48e instruments.
  • Verification of virtual concatenation with Ethernet mapping.

Key Features

  • Color-coded controls and menu selection to select the desired Measure mode and Send mode.
  • Automatic capture and display of measurements allows for immediate display if measurement is out of range (over or under).
  • Unique secondary keypad function allows for the setting of all control parameters associated with more complex tests using the keypad that is normally used for dialing.
