EM TEST TSS 500N4 Telecom Surge Generator with 10/700us Test Pulse

Description

Telecommunication networks are exposed to lightning events. Therefore telecommunications equipment being connected to the outside world need to have appropriate protection to show an acceptable immunity to surge transients in order not to fail in case of lightning events. Telecom Surge simulators of the TSS 500N-series are used to proof the immunity of telecommunications equipment.

The TSS 500N4 is used to perform tests as per IEC 61000-4-5 and related standards and complies with the requirements of ITU-T and FCC 97-270 (part 68) for Surge B pulse.
The TSS 500N4 is a compact tester to generate the Telecom Surge pulses 10/700µs and 9/720µs as well as the 1.2/50µs Voltage Surge pulse.

The TSS 500N4 is not just the pulse generator but it comes with the built-in coupling networks for 2-wire and 4-wire test applications. The outputs can directly be connected to the Telecom ports of the DUT. For testing Telecom lines EM TEST offers the appropriate coupling networks for 4-wire or 8-wire lines.

Pre-programmed Standard Test routines allow highest user convenience. Still the TSS 500N4 offers the Quick Start test routine where parameters can be changed on-line during the test to evaluate the susceptibility level of an individual DUT.
