The Fluke Networks TS52 Pro telephone test set, available with
various line cord connectors to suit specific applications, is
designed for outside use to detect dial tone and polarity,
place and receive calls, indicate line voltage and current, and
verify caller ID service; has a two-way, adjustable-volume
speakerphone for hands-free conversation during testing of
telephone lines; tests POTS (plain old telephone service) quality
on live DSL lines without disrupting data services; and stores up
to ten 23-digit telephone numbers which can be speed-dialed via
the keypad. It provides tone or pulse operation. The test set has
two basic modes of operation: talk mode for off-hook operations
including verifying dialing and receiving calls, and monitor mode
for on-hook operations including checking for an idle line,
listening for line noise, measuring DC voltage on the line, and
capturing DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) tones to check for
proper signaling. In monitor mode, the test set provides
high-impedance monitoring of lines without disrupting service.
When sw to talk mode, the data lockout feature tests the
line for high-speed data signals and remains on hook and beeps if
such signals are detected. The lockout can be overridden to pull
dial tone from a noise line. This test set meets IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission) safety standard
61010-1:2010 and is rated for CAT I installations to 300 VDC,
which covers equipment on circuits not directly connected to
mains. It passes a 20-foot (6 m) drop test and resists rain and
moisture. The high-visibility glow-in-the-dark keypad has 12
standard dialing keys including star and pound, and function keys
to store, recall, and redial numbers and to pause for accessing a
second dial tone when dialing through a PBX (private branch
exchange), among other functions. A backlit LCD tracks functions
and test status, and displays line voltage from 0 to 140 VDC and
current from 0 to 120 mA. At a voltage greater than 140 VDC, the
test set locks out and will not allow off-hook operation. The
test set is made of high-impact plastic and turns on
automatically when clipped to an active line. A spring-loaded
belt clip provides a secure hold on belt loops and D-rings and
can be attached to either end of the test set. Additional

test sets, also called butt sets, are used by telecom technicians
to troubleshoot and maintain copper-wire voice-subscriber lines.

Datacom and telecom installation and test devices, such as toners
and test sets, check cabling and wiring to help ensure proper
connections and operation. Tone generator and probe sets, also
called toners, are used to locate, trace, and isolate cables in
copper media networks. Telephone test sets, also called butt
sets, are specialized telephones that connect to telephone lines
to check for proper operation and to isolate trouble. Some test
sets incorporate a TDR (time-domain reflectometer) and toner for
determining cable length and locating faults. While certain
devices may be used on live networks, others are only suitable
for inactive networks. Field technicians and installers use these
devices to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot datacom and telecom
cabling within a building or in outside (OSP) applications.
Fluke Networks manufactures tools for network infrastructure
installation, testing, certification, and troubleshooting, in
copper, fiber, and wireless networks, with its tools widely used
by contractors, enterprises, and communication service providers.
The company, which operates globally, is based in Everett, WA.
