Operation
The following information describes the product and the operating features of the
product.
The Tektronix TS200 TelScout Access Network Analyzer consists of three
separate but related product configurations. The loop-test configurations include
a TDR unit, a POTS only unit, and a combined TDR and POTS unit. The TS200
allows customers to analyze and troubleshoot the access network for analog or
digital services. It is designed specifically for telephone access network
applications, including xDSL, ISDN, and POTS.
Controls, Indicators, and Connectors
The TS200 controls are described briefly in this chapter.

information. The measurement display shows numerical data in a readout bar at
the bottom of the data/information window.
The current operating mode of the instrument is displayed on the top status line
of the display, above the framed data window, which is above the bottom seven
lines reserved for softkey labels and dialog. When the instrument needs to
display additional information in a message to the operator, it will appear in the
dialog test box.

Vp: Velocity of Propagation. In Auto TDR and TestWizard, this is set in the
selection of the cable type being used. In Manual TDR, this can be changed from
the measurement display.
GAIN: This is set with (Y B) while no softkey is active. The visual result of
increasing the gain is to increase the height of the displayed waveform. It might
also bring out an event that is barely noticeable.
PW: Pulse width is shown in the Readout Bar when the measurement display is
in Auto or Manual TDR mode. PW is selectable in Manual TDR through the
Pulse softkey. In the Auto TDR or TestWizard modes, the pulse width selection
is automatically made by the instrument and is dependent on the distance from
the instrument, cable dielectric, etc.

Introduction
n: The delta symbol indicates a difference-distance. When a marker (◆) is
placed on the waveform display, the instrument calculates the distance from the
marker to the current cursor location and displays the number in this box. If no
marker is placed, this box is not shown.
DIST: This is always the distance from the clip end of the test leads to the current
cursor location. Distance to the cursor can be shown in feet, meters, or nanoseconds.
Display organizations vary for POTS measurements. The current operating mode
of the instrument is displayed on the top status line of the display, above the
framed data window, which is above the bottom seven lines reserved for softkey
labels and dialog. When the instrument needs to display additional information
in a message to the operator, it will appear in the dialog test box.

Power On / Off Indicator: A five-level battery-status indicator, located in the
upper right corner of all displays, shows the battery-charge level. A low-battery/
power-off message is displayed when the battery level is too low for safe
operation (the dialog box will indicate low batt and the audible warning beeps
when the low battery message is first displayed). When this happens, connect the
charger/adapter to the instrument. If alkaline batteries are being used, replace all
ten cells at the same time. If you are using a NiMH battery pack, you can
continue using the TS200 on AC power while the battery is recharging. The
NiMH battery should be fully discharged and then fully recharged periodically.
Speaker On / Off Indicator: An icon is located on the display just to the left of
the power indicator. It will show that the speaker is currently either on or off.

Introduction
Controls
All operator controls are elastomeric-technology push buttons.
Hard Buttons
POWER: This button turns the TS200 on and off.
HELP: Pressing HELP displays detailed information about the current
operation being performed by the TS200. The HELP function provides
information on the operation of each of the instrument controls.
The help displays are context-sensitive pop-up windows that overlay the current
display when you press the HELP button. In each of the measurement modes,
the help display describes the current mode and provides access to additional
help on how to use the front-panel controls.
Press HELP a second time to remove the help display.
In selected menus, Lesson softkeys are available, which provide tutorial
information about using the TS200, Auto TDR, Manual TDR, cable selection,
printing, and transferring data.
TestWizard: Pressing the TestWizard button initiates a simplified measurement
mode for TDR, POTS, xDSL, or Load Coil.
TestWizard TDR measurement mode prompts the user for any required
information. It requires minimal decisions on the user’s part and displays a
mosaic waveform with all significant events (at or above the predefined
threshold) marked and numbered.
TestWizard POTS measurement mode has five sequential displays, with the
option of continuing from one display to the next or going back to the previous
test. The xDSL TestWizard measurement mode has a single display with the
most common tests used for xDSL line qualifications. The Load Coil TestWizard
detects and locates up to two missing load coils on a properly spaced line.
BACKLIGHT: Press this button to switch the display backlight on and off. The
default at power-up is with the backlight off. Press the backlight button to turn
on the backlight. The backlight stays on as long as the user continues to press
buttons or softkeys.
1–6
The backlight automatically turns off, using the specified default time from the
More Setups menu, after the user stops pressing any buttons (one minute is the
TS200 default, but it is user adjustable).
The user can turn the backlight on again by pressing the Backlight button.

Introduction
SPEAKER: Press this button to turn on/off the speaker. You can perform
operations eliminating unwanted sounds and alerts.
In the lower right area of the front panel is a five-button group (up-down-leftright-center). The arrow buttons serve the functions of moving the cursor left and
right across the displayed waveform or changing values (A "), scrolling
through a menu or changing values (Y B), and scrolling pages (
These buttons have an accelerated repeating function when operated with
continued pressure.
There are six softkeys across the bottom of the LCD and two at the right side.
These are called softkeys because their labels are displayed on the LCD. Their
functions vary according to the instrument function.
◆ + YB).
The softkeys are used in three different ways: function change, item selection,
and item toggle.
In the function change use, the softkey is briefly displayed in reverse video
(black box around white letters) until the function or mode change is complete.
After the function or mode change, the softkey label returns to normal, possibly
with a different label. An example of this type of operation is: changing from
measurement mode to setup mode.
In item selection, the softkey label is displayed in reverse video when the key is
pressed and remains in that state until pressed again or a different softkey is
pressed. Usually, pressing an item-selection softkey enables the up and down
arrow keys to change the value of the selected item. Examples of item selections
are: span, pulse, vertical position, and Vp in the manual measurement mode;
baud rate in the printer setup mode. Value changes might also be displayed in
another manner, such as the distance scale change when
is pressed in Auto TDR mode.
Cable
In item toggle, the softkey label toggles from an on to off to on form. Whichever
is active at the moment will be shown in reverse video. An example of this is:

Figure 2–1: TS200 Block Diagram
The TS200 consists of two circuit boards, noted as CIRCUIT BOARD A1 (TDR) and
CIRCUIT BOARD A2 (POTS), in the block diagram above.
Circuit Board A1
The A1 circuit board does all the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service)
measurements. This board relies on the A2 TDR board for power, control, and
access to the external test leads and is mounted to A2 board using stand-off
posts. Board A1 contains an analog-to-digital converter along with circuits to
measure voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, tone amplitude,
noise, number of load coils, and longitudinal balance. The A1 POTS board
contains the pulse and DTMF dialing circuit, tone, generator, and a foreign
voltage detection circuit. The A1 circuit board also directs signals to the speaker.
Circuit Board A2
The A2 circuit board contains the Microprocessor, TDR circuits, display
controller, keyboard interface, power supply, and battery charging circuits. The
board connects to the display, backlight inverter, keyboard, printer port, beeper,
and to the A1 POTS board.
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual
2–1
Theory of Operation
The A2 board routes signals on the test leads either to the TDR circuits on the
A2 board or to the A1 POTS board, depending on the measurement function
selected. The microprocessor adjusts the power supply voltage going to the
display to control the display contrast. The A2 board is mounted to the
aluminum LCD stiffener plate assembly.
Display Assembly
Keyboard
Battery
Optional Battery
The LCD is a VGA (640 X 480 pixel) display with a cold-cathode backlight
supported by a foam gasket and a rigid aluminum stiffener plate. The backlight
inverter attaches to the aluminum plate. Power for the display and backlight
inverter as well as LCD row and column data come from the A2 TDR board.
The keyboard assembly contains an elastomeric keypad, a polyester flex circuit,
and an aluminum support plate. The flex circuit connects to the A2 TDR board.
The standard battery is a 9-cell, 10.8 volt NiMH battery pack with built-in fuel
gauge, temperature sensor, and self-resetting fuse. The fuel gauge monitors
charge going into and out of the battery pack. The microprocessor on the A2
TDR board reads the data from the fuel gauge using a one-wire bi-directional
digital interface that is wired to the battery connector. The battery must go
through a complete charge/discharge/charge sequence periodically to recalibrate
the fuel gauge. Circuitry on the A2 TDR board controls battery charging. The
charging circuit monitors the temperature sensor inside the battery pack and the
voltage across the battery to determine when the battery is fully charged. The
start of a charge cycle is postponed if the battery temperature is above about
40° C. The A2 TDR board has a hardware shut-down circuit to prevent battery
cell reversal at 8 V.
A 10-cell, 15 volt AA battery holder can be used in place of the standard battery.
Standard AA-size alkaline cells are used in the optional battery holder. The
battery holder is designed for disposable batteries and does not connect to the
NiMH charging circuit. This prevents accidental charging of non-rechargeable
batteries. Optional battery life is short, so this pack should be used for
emergencies only.
2–2
AC-to-DC External
Adapter
Backlight Inverter
The AC-to-DC external power adapter accepts a wide range of input voltages and
frequencies. It outputs 24 Volts at up to 1.5 Amp. Different power cords are
available to allow the adapter to connect to various power line outlets. The cable
from the adapter to the instrument has a 5.5 mm OD, 2.1 mm ID center positive
socket.
The backlight inverter receives 12 Volts from A1 TDR board and provides 1000
VAC to power the cold-cathode lamp LCD backlight. An insulating cover
prevents accidental contact with high voltage by service personnel. The TDR
board also provides digital signals to turn the backlight power on/off and adjust
the bright/dim setting.
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual
Performance Verification
Performance verification verifies the operation of the TS200 analyzer to make
sure that it is operating properly and conforms to instrument specifications as
listed under Specifications in Section 1.
Performance verification should be done after an instrument has been serviced
and at 12-month intervals.
If you are unfamiliar with how the TS200 analyzer works, it may help to review
the TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer User Manual or on-line help
before doing the performance verifications.
NOTE. Throughout the PV typical equipment set-ups, test lead connections will
be represented by the letter T for tip (black), R for ring (red), and G for ground
(green).
Required Equipment
The following is required to verify that the TS200 is operating correctly. Some of
the equipment is Tektronix part numbered and can be ordered as an optional
accessory.
NOTE. The multi-test fixture is not available outside Tektronix Factory Service.
All procedures requiring the multi-test fixture must be performed at a Tektronix
service depot.

NOTE. The setup consists of two 10-foot test cables plus the 1000-foot cable. The
instrument is set to zero distance at the end of the test leads, which negates the
leads on the selected port. However, the instrument is not using the test leads on
the other port for this particular test, so it will see the total cable length as 1010
feet. If your test cable is a different length, add the cable length plus 10 foot test

NOTE. Because this test uses the same cable, testing from either end, and both
ports are alternately sending pulses into this cable, each port does not see the
end reflection of its own pulse but receives the pulse from the other port. This
fools it into seeing a crosstalk reflection halfway down the cable. Therefore, the
reflection will occur at one-half the length of the total cable, ± 2 feet. In this
example, 1010/2 = 505, ± 2 feet is 503 to 507 feet. If your test cable is a different
length, your display and result will be different.

Maintenance
This chapter contains information you need to do periodic and corrective
maintenance on the TelScout TS200. These maintenance instructions are for
qualified service personnel only. Prior to performing any maintenance on this
instrument, read the General Safety Summary and the Preface at the beginning of
this manual. If you have not used the TS200 before, refer to the TelScout TS200User Manual.
CAUTION. These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To
avoid electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in
this manual unless you are qualified to do so.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this
instrument.
When performing any service that requires internal access to the instrument, take
the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules and their
components with electrostatic discharge (ESD):
HMinimize handling of static-sensitive modules.
HTransport and store static-sensitive modules in static-protected containers.
Label any package that contains static-sensitive modules.
HDischarge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded wrist strap
while handling these modules. Service the modules only at a static-free
workstation.
HDo not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the
workstation surface.
HHandle the circuit board by the edges whenever possible. Avoid touching
the board surface and components to prevent contamination.
HDo not slide the modules over any surface.
HA void handling the modules in areas that have carpeted floors or work surfaces
capable of generating static charges.

Maintenance
Inspection and Cleaning
Exterior Inspection
The TelScout TS200’s enclosure minimizes dust accumulation inside the
instrument. Never operate the MTDR without the covers properly installed.
When storing or transporting the instrument, it is a good idea to keep it in the
soft carry case to protect it from dust and accidental damage.
Inspect and clean your TelScout TS200 as often as operating conditions require.
If used indoors, this might be once every 1000 hours of use. If used outdoors,
this might be after each use, depending on field conditions, but the instrument
should be inspected and cleaned after no more than 500 hours of use. Dirt acts as
a thermal insulator, which could cause overheating and component breakdown. It
also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause instrument failure,
especially under high-humidity conditions.
HInspect the exterior of the TS200 for wear, missing parts, or cracks in the
enclosure. Replace any defective parts.
Exterior Cleaning
Interior Inspection
HInspect all connectors for cracked insulation, broken shells, deformed
contacts, or dirt in the connectors. Clean or replace as necessary.
HInspect test cables for bent or broken plugs/clips or frayed/cut insulation.
Replace as necessary.
CAUTION. To avoid the possibility of getting water in the instrument, use only
enough liquid to dampen the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh
chemicals (e.g., alcohol, acetone) as damage to the enclosure might result.
HRemove dust from the outside of the instrument by wiping with a lint-free
cloth or small brush. Use the brush to remove dust from the connectors.
HClean the remaining dirt with a lint-free cloth, dampened in a general-purpose
mild-detergent-and-water solution.
To gain access to the inside of the TS200 for inspection and cleaning, refer to the
Removal and Reinstallation Procedures given later in this chapter.
4–2
HInspect the circuit board for loose, broken, or corroded solder connections and
burned, broken, or cracked circuit plating. Replace the circuit board if these
conditions exist.
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual
Interior Cleaning
Maintenance
HInspect resistors for burns, cracks, blisters, or breaks. Replace the circuit board
if these conditions exist.
HInspect capacitors for damaged or leaking cases, or corroded solder on leads.
Replace the circuit board if these conditions exist.
HInspect all solder joints for cold or rosin joints. Replace the circuit board if
these conditions exist.
HInspect all semiconductor devices for loose socket connections or bent/dam-
aged leads. If the device is socketed, attempt to reseat the device properly . If
device is soldered on the board, replace the circuit board.
HInspect wiring and cables for loose plugs or connectors and burned, broken,
or frayed wiring. Reseat connector or replace wiring as necessary.
HInspect interior of enclosure for deformation, cracking, or damaged hardware.
Replace as necessary.
Software Downloading
HBlow any dust found in the interior of the instrument out using dry, low
pressure (approximately x. 9psi), de-ionized air.
HRemove any remaining dust using a lint-free cloth dampened in de-ionized
water. Lint-free swabs are useful for cleaning narrow spaces and on the circuit
board.
To download software to the TS200, an IBM compatible computer running
Windows 95 or Windows 98 needs to be used. The process takes approximately
20 minutes. In the event of a failure that cannot be resolved, call 1-800-833-9200

1.TS200 WILL NOT POWER ON, or WILL NOT STAY POWERED ON, or BATTERY LIFE IS TOO
HStatic-free workstation
HDigital multimeter
HPerform preliminary disassembly.
HLeave all electrical connections intact.
HConnect AC adapter/charger and plug into known good AC source.
SHORT, or BATTERY WILL NOT CHARGE.
Step 1.Measure the voltage at the External DC adapter connection. The voltage
should be 18 to 25 VDC under all normal charging or operating conditions.
♦If the External DC adapter voltage is above 25 V, replace the external
adapter.
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual
4–15
Maintenance
♦If the External DC adapter voltage is below 18 V, check for excess current
consumption by the TS200.
♦If current consumption is not excessive, replace the external adapter.
a)Verify the TS200 does not require excessive current. Connect the External DC
power adapter and disconnect the battery. Typical current requirements with
24 V power from the external adapter are:
Instrument off, battery disconnected10 mA
Instrument off, battery charging600 mA
TDR only, main screen, backlight off250 mA
TDR only, main screen, backlight normal300 mA
TDR only, main screen, bright backlight360 mA
Combo unit, main screen, backlight normal350 mA
Combo unit, DCV screen, backlight normal430 mA
♦If the current requirement is excessive on a combo unit, unplug POTS
connector J1001 to see if the POTS board is causing the excessive current
consumption.
NOTE. The battery will not charge or will stop charging if the battery
voltage is too high (above approximately 16.2V) or too low (below
approximately 9 V).
If the battery temperature is too high, the charging circuit will
hold off charging until the battery temperature drops below approximately 40° C. Charging will terminate if the battery temperature rises
above approximately 50° C, if the battery temperature increases rapidly,
or if the battery voltage decreases.
The fully discharged battery will take approximately four hours
to charge. A battery is considered discharged if the TS200 shuts off
automatically due to low battery voltage.
Charging systems for NiMH batteries are more complex than for
lead acid or NiCad batteries. If a spare battery and spare external
adapter are available, it is useful to verify the problems below with the
substitute parts.
Battery capacity drops as ambient temperature increases or
decreases from room temperature. This is a normal battery characteristic for both charging and discharging. As an example, if the battery is
charged at 40° C, it could have 25% lower charge capacity. For best
results, charge the battery at room temperature with the instrument
power off.
Battery self-discharge is assumed to be about 2% per day. It may
be higher immediately following a charge.
4–16
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual
Maintenance
b) When the instrument is off, current from the external adapter should be approxi-
mately 600 mA when the battery voltage is approximately 12 V. The current will
be lower when battery voltage is low and higher when battery voltage is high.
Charging should start within five seconds after an external adapter is connected
to the TS200 if voltages and temperatures are correct.
♦If the charge current is too high, replace the TDR board.
c) When the charge current is too low , check the battery voltage while charging (pins
1 and 6 of the 6-pin battery connector).
♦If the battery voltage is below 9.1 V for more than a few minutes while
charging, replace the battery.
♦If the battery voltage is between 9.1 V and 15 V and charge current is low,
replace the TDR board.
♦If battery voltage is above 15 V at room temperature, the battery may
have a full charge, or it may be defective.
♦If the voltages and currents are normal, but the battery life is short, the
battery should be replaced.
2. BATTERY CAP ACITY GAUGE IS INACCURATE.
NOTE. The battery capacity gauge automatically recalibrates when the battery goes
through a complete charge/discharge/charge cycle. With normal operation, the
battery is often charged without having a full discharge. Over time, the battery
capacity gauge will become less accurate until another complete charge/discharge/
charge cycle occurs.
The fuel gauge for the battery is mounted inside the battery pack. The fuel
gauge is designed to work correctly when the battery is removed and reinstalled.
The current sense for charge and discharge is mounted in the TS200. Best fuelgauge accuracy is obtained if the battery is both charged and used in the same
instrument.
Step 1.Recalibrate the battery fuel gauge using the following steps.
a) Allow the battery to charge with the instrument off for at least four hours.
b) Disconnect the charger and turn the instrument power on.
c) Set the auto shut-off time (in the setup menu) of the instrument to off.
d) Operate the instrument until it automatically shuts off; the battery is properly
discharged. This may take four or more hours.
e) Reconnect the charger and allow the battery to charge with the instrument off for
at least four hours.
f) Verify the fuel gauge in the upper right corner of the display shows a full battery.
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual

Maintenance
♦If the fuel gauge display does not show a full battery, repeat steps d through f.
♦If the fuel gauge does not work properly, replace the battery.
3. DISPLA Y – NO DISPLAY or ROWS OF DOTS ARE MISSING.
Step 1.Turn the instrument power on and listen for normal power-on tones (short beep,
relays click, then two beeps).
NOTE. The display cable connector is a locking connector; unlock the connector
before removing the cable. Be careful to keep proper alignment of the cable
while inserting the cable and locking the connector. Do not allow fingerprints on
the contact area of the cable.
♦If normal beeps are heard but the display is blank or missing rows of dots,
continue with this step; otherwise, go to the section which describes power-on
tones.
♦If the display is blank, check for normal voltage on pin 7 of J1006. This voltage
is typically 20 V at room temperature but may be between 15 V (lowest
contrast setting) to 25 V (highest contrast setting).
♦If this voltage is low after powering on the instrument and hearing the power-
on beeps, press and hold the front-panel up arrow.
♦If the voltage does not increase to 20 V, unplug the display cable and try again.
♦If the voltage is normal without the display connected but too low with the
display connected, replace the display .
♦If the voltage is too low or too high with the display disconnected. replace the
TDR board.
♦If the display has rows of dots missing, this may be an indication of a bad
connection between the display cable and the TDR board. Inspect the connector for signs of damage. Check to see if the display cable enters the connector at
right angles.
♦If this does not correct the problem, perform a continuity check on the connec-
tion at each end of the cable. If the voltages and continuity are correct, replace
the display.
4. DISPLA YED TDR WAVEFORM IS INCORRECT or FLA T.
Step 1.Check test lead connections for continuity. These should read less than 1 Ω per lead.
♦If test lead is not acceptable, replace the test lead.
Step 2.Check wire connections from the TDR board to the test lead connectors. These
should read less than 0.1 Ω per lead.

5. TDR TEST IS GOOD ON ONE PORT, BUT NOT ON THE OTHER.
Step 1.Check connections on the test leads for continuity. These should read less than 1 Ω
per lead.
♦If the test lead is not acceptable, replace the test lead.
♦If the test lead is acceptable, replace the TDR board.
6. SERIAL PRINTER PORT IS NOT WORKING (all other functions are fine).
Step 1.Check the cable connections from the TDR board connector to the serial port
connector. These should read less than 0.2 Ω per lead.
♦If the wire/cable is not acceptable, replace the wire/cable.
♦If the wire/cable is acceptable, replace the TDR board.
7. SPECIFIC KEYS DO NOT WORK or WORK ONL Y INTERMITTENTLY.
Step 1.Disconnect the keyboard cable from the circuit board and test the keyboard-switch
continuity at the cable end. Verify that the offending switch contact resistance is
greater than 500 kΩ when not pressed and less than 1500 Ω when pressed.
♦If the switch resistance is not acceptable, replace the front-panel keyboard
assembly.
♦If the switch resistance is acceptable, replace the TDR board.

8. TS200 HAS LOCKED UP AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY KEY PRESSES.
Step 1.Remove the external power and disconnect the battery. Reconnect the battery to see
if the instrument recovers. Check the external power adapter and battery voltages,
the display (see Section 3), and the keyboard (check on/off button).
Step 2.Check the external power adapter, battery voltages, display, and keyboard.
♦If these checks do not uncover the problem, replace the TDR board.
9. BEEPER DOES NOT WORK or BEEPER ON ALL THE TIME (all other functions are fine).
Step 1.Check the power supply .
♦If the external power adapter is good, replace the TDR board.
10. TDR DISTANCE READINGS ARE NOT ACCURATE.
Step 1.Verify distance accuracy using a standard 100-foot cable with a known Vp, or
compare readings to a known good TS100 or Tektronix 1503B/C MTDR.
♦If measurement agrees within the ±1%, the TS200 is good.
♦If measurement error appears >1%, replace the TDR board.
11. PHONE LINE STOPS WORKING WHEN THE TDR BOARD IS CONNECTED TO AN ACTIVE TELEPHONE LINE.
Step 1.Check TS200 TEST and REFERENCE ports for capacitive open between red and
black (tip and ring) leads (there should be >10 MΩ DC, and you should see capacitive charging effect using DMM). Be sure the TS200 is set for testing on each port on
which you are checking continuity .
♦If TEST and REFERENCE port continuity is not acceptable, replace the TDR
board.
12. SELF CALIBRA TION FAILS.
NOTE. Verify that self calibration is done with the backlight off, using battery power.
Nothing should be connected to the serial port. The test leads must have good
mechanical contact when clipped together. Disconnected leads should be placed on
a non-conductive surface and not be in contact with each other.
Step 1.Check the resistance of each test lead. These should read less than 0.5 Ω per lead.
♦If test lead is not acceptable, replace the test lead.
4–20
Step 2.Check the wire connections from TDR board J1008 to the test lead connectors.
These should read less than 0.1 Ω per lead.
♦If wire/cable is not acceptable, replace the wire/cable.
TelScout TS200 Access Network Analyzer Service Manual
Step 3.Check signal routing through the TDR board to the POTS board.
a) Disconnect signal cable from POTS board J1002.
b) Turn on the instrument and select VOM–DCV.
c) Measure the resistance from each test clip to the matching conductor on the cable
end which plugs into J1002. The total resistance should be less than 1.5 Ω per lead
from test lead clip to the cable end which plugs into J1002.
♦If the total resistance is not acceptable, replace J1002 connector.
♦If total resistance is not acceptable, replace the TDR board.
Step 4.Check leakage on signal lines leading to the POTS board.
a) Turn on instrument and select VOM–Ohms.
b) Measure the leakage resistance between each pair of test leads (red to black, red to
green, black to green). All three readings should display >200 MΩ.
♦If any reading is less than 200 MΩ, isolate the problem by first discon-
necting the test leads, then the connection to TDR J1008, and then the
connection to POTS J1002.
Maintenance
♦If total resistance is not acceptable, replace the offending lead, cable, or
circuit board.
13. POTS FUNCTION FAILURE.
CAUTION. There is a –130 VDC supply near J1001. Probe the voltages below with
caution! Avoid selecting Ohms or RFL when the circuit boards are exposed because
a current limited version of the –130 V supply is routed to the test leads during
Ohms and RFL measurements.
NOTE. The power supplies for the POTS and TDR functions are on the TDR board.
A switch is used to route the input leads to either board from J1009. Most of the
POTS board power supplies are switched off unless a POTS function is selected.
Step 1.T est lead resistance.
Step 2.T est lead leakage resistance.
Step 3.Check signal routing from test leads through the TDR board to the POTS board.
