Each Fluke Networks product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service.

Fluke Networks warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke Networks does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.

Fluke Networks authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke Networks.

Fluke Networks reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.

Fluke Networks warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke Networks option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke Networks authorized service center within the warranty period.

FLUKE NETWORKS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

TS®52PRO Test Set

Introduction

The TS52PRO Test Set is an analog test telephone used by installers, repair technicians and other authorized personnel to test copper wire voice subscriber lines. In addition to providing standard off-hook operations, such as dialing and voice communications, the TS52PRO model has an on-hook Monitor mode that lets the operator listen to the line without disturbing any voice or data signals present. The test set has a speaker for hands-free listening. The test set also has a speakerphone that allows two way conversations while freeing up the operator’s hands for other tasks.

In today’s telecommunications environment, a large number of subscriber lines carry data services. The data services are in the same distribution facilities as voice services. It is not always easy to tell the difference between data and voice services. The TS52PRO Test Set uses unique, patented circuitry that prevents disruption of digital data services if the test set is unintentionally connected to a data line.

Physical Characteristics

Housing

See Figure 1.

The TS52PRO Test Set housing is made of high-impact plastic. The test set provides rugged service and withstands the rough handling and shocks associated with field use. The housing permits operation in bad weather, such as heavy rain or dust storms.

Belt Clips

See Figure 1.

The belt clip can be located at either or both ends of the housing. It has a spring-loaded, locking clip that assures a secure connection to belt loops and D-rings. Both forward folding and backwards folding versions of the belt clip may be installed. The test set can be hung by the belt clip in one of two ways: (1) with keypad and speakerphone facing the user for convenient access or (2) with the transmitter facing the user.

The belt clips may be replaced or relocated in the field. See "Replacing or Relocating the Belt Clip" on page 21.

Line Cords

See Figure 1.

The test set has a field replaceable line cord. The line cord is attached through a rubber strain relief at the transmitter end of the test set. Line cords showing damage or abrasion should be replaced before using the instrument. See "Replacing the Line Cord" on page 21.

Several different configurations of line cords are available. See "Accessories (How to Order)" on page 23. for model numbers.

Battery

See Figure 1.

WWarningX

Use caution when handling batteries. Do not let the terminals short together. Dispose of batteries properly to ensure terminals cannot short. Disposal may be restricted by local laws.

Note

If the test set fails to operate properly, first replace the battery and retest before sending the test set in for repair.

A 9 V alkaline battery must be installed for the test set to operate. Do not use a rechargeable battery.

The battery:

If the test set stops working, remove the 9 V battery, wait at least 40 seconds, then replace the battery. This resets the test set. Use the same battery if you know it is good or use a new battery if you are not sure. If it still does not work, contact Fluke Networks Technical Support.

Speaker and Speakerphone Microphone

See Figure 1.

The speaker and speakerphone microphone are located on the keypad side of the test set. The speaker uses a lot of battery power. The battery lasts longer if the speaker is used in moderation.

Audio Controls

See Figure 2.

The three audio control keys are located on the inside handle of the test set between the handset receiver and the handset microphone. These controls let the operator switch between the handset and speakerphone, mute the active microphone, and control the volume of the received audio signal. Table 1 describes the audio control keys.

WWarning

Never hold the speaker against your ear when it is on, or when turning it on or off. Sounds emitted by the speaker can be loud enough to damage your hearing.

•Powers the test set when on-hook.

•It supplies supplementary current to the speaker (if on) when the test set is off-hook.

•Powers the display.

When the battery icon on the display shows no bars, the battery should be replaced immediately.

The test set’s battery compartment makes battery replacement easy. See "Replacing the Battery" on page 20 for instructions on changing the battery.
