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. The TSS 500N6B is used for 4-wire applications as per Bellcore GR-1089-Core and supports 12 pair telecom port testing via the CNB 500 optional coupler. It can also be used for the 2-wire telecom port testing.

Telecom Surge Simulators of the TSS 500N series are used to proof the immunity of telecommunications equipment. The TSS 500N6B has been developed to represent an easy-to-use test equipment for testing 4-wire applications as per Bellcore GR-1089-Core. This standard includes several test pulses with different source impedance values to generate the pulses required by Bellcore for First Level Lightning and Intra-Building Lightning Surge tests as well as for AC power port testing. All test pulses are generated by means of a single tester.

The necessary CDN to connect the telecom ports (both for 2-wire and 4-wire applications) is integrated. The internal switching circuit automatically sets the generator to apply the test pulses according to the selected coupling mode. The TSS 500N6B also supports testing of 12 pair telecom ports simultaneously with the test pulse 10/360µs using the optional CNB 500.

Pre-programmed Standard Test routines allow highest user convenience. Still the TSS 500N6B 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.
