QuickSwitch™ – Instruction Manual

1. SAFETY WARNINGS

* The QuickSwitch™ must only be used for the purpose, and in a manner, as
described in these instructions. Failing to do so may impair the protection,
function of or damage the product.
* The QuickSwitch™ must be switched to the Monitor (Bridging) position and plugged
into the IDS Module prior to any other connection being made. Ensure all Test equipment
or instruments are removed from the QuickSwitch™ before the lead i s either ins erted or
withdrawn from the IDS Module. Failing to do so may impair the protection provided by
the QuickSwitch™.
* The QuickSwitch™ offers the greatest protection after being plugged in and all
connections are made, therefore the operator must use caution when handling the leads,
ensuring the plug or socket contacts are not touched.

There are four warnings to be noted when using the QuickSwitch™. All relate to the connection
interfaces which are highlighted by either of the following symbols on the switch base or
connector head:

1. This symbol alerts the operator to refer to a Note in this handbook.

(Warning Note, See Section 1.1)

2. This symbol alerts the operator that High Test Voltages may be

present at this connection interface.

(Warning High Test Voltages, See Section 1.2)

1.1. Warning Note

When making any connection with QuickSwitch™, be aware that
hazardous voltages may exist on the IDS terminal unit, cable pair or test
leads of the equipment being used.

The QuickSwitch™ offers the greatest protection after being fully connected and all
connections are made, th erefore the operator must use caution when handling the leads,
ensuring the plug contacts are not touched. See Figure 1.1-1

Figure 1.1-1 Warning & High Voltage warning symbols on the connection Interfaces.

1.2. Warning High Test Voltages

It is important to recognize that any electrical/electronic system may present hazardous
voltages. When making connection with the QuickSwitch™, care must be taken not to contact
any potentially live parts. See Figure 1.1-1

2. INTRODUCTION

2.1. Intended use of QuickSwitch™

The QuickSwitch™ is intended for use by service personnel on the telecommunications
network and under normal conditions is exposed to telecommunications network voltages.
Should a fault condition occur with hazardous voltages on the network, the QuickSwitch™
offers protection to service personnel in form of basic insulation to a working voltage of 300
Vrms CAT II. The QuickSwitch™ is a connection tool for telecommunications networks. The
QuickSwitch™ incorporates a rotary action control switch, which allows the operator to access
a cable pair at an MDF, or CCU, etc., and in turn Monitor the cable pair before performing any
test.

The operator then uses the switch to select the direction to conduct a test from this test point,
either back towards the Exchange or out towards the Customer.
An additional feature of the QuickSwitch™ is that they can also be used to access the Exchange
side and Country side simultaneously.

QuickSwitch™ – Instruction Manual

2.2. Tests and Func ti ons performed

The QuickSwitch™ does not actually perform any tests itself, it
facilitates the access required to a telecommunications network at a cross-connect point, to
allow other test instruments to perform the tests as required.
When switched to the Monitor position, with the appropriat e access pl ug, it can be inserted into
the matching IDS module to allow the operator to monitor the line (Cable Pair) under
investigation. This test is usually conducted with a Buttinski test set.
By rotating the switch through the available positions marked on the switch body, the operator
can then connect other test instruments to conduct the usual line tests to determine the “Line
Condition”.
Depending on which way the IDS Module and Access plug is setup, (See sections 4.2, for
Accessing Exchange or Customer Side), the operator can select, with the rotary switch, the
Exchange or Customer side for testing.
By selecting the Exchange side, the line can be tested utilizing auto test facilities, or simply
utilize the normal Exchange functions.
When the Cus tomer Side i s sel ected, t he cable s ection lead ing out tow ards the cust omer can be
checked or tested.
In general, the QuickSwitch™ with all it’s optional plugs, is normally used by any Technician
or Communication Officer, in the performance of their duties, where access to the copper line is
required at any test point along the line. This can be between and including, the Exchange and
the customer’s premises.

2.3. Major features of the QuickSwitch™

The major features allow the connection of any standard test instrument to a
Telecommunication or Data Network via:

• Line Access, non interrupting, Monitoring

• Access to the Exchange side by simple switching without changing lead connections

• Access to the Customer side by simple switching without changing lead connections

• Access to both the Exchange and Customer individually at the same time, by simple

switching without changing lead connections.

• Safety of the Operator from non-standard, dangerous voltages on the line

2.4. Abbreviations and Definitions

CAN Customer Access Network
MDF Main Distribution Frame
CCU Cross Connect Unit (Pillar or Cabinet)
Country Country Side (also called Customer Side) - R efers to the cable looking

away towards the customer, from the test point.

Exchange (Exchange Side) - Refers to the cable looking back towards the

Exchange, from the test point.
