In its basic configuration, CopperPro offers a broad range of Plain Old Telephone
Services (POTS) troubleshooting, fault location and line qualification capabilities. Its Wideband/TDR option adds high frequency transmission testing and qualification functions for services like ADSL, HDSL, HDSL2, HDSL4, ISDN, T1, E1 and DDS. And the TDR feature of the option adds precise fault location and analysis. The Wideband/TDR option can be added at time of purchase or later at an authorized service center.
Features
CopperPro's basic configuration is designed for POTS applications including voltage, opens, shorts, balance, RFL, VF noise and loss, terminated and dial-up tests, as well as load coil detection and line monitoring.
The Wideband/TDR option delivers accurate fault location capability in a handheld test set. With it, you can test and compare pairs, store measurements and test for crosstalk between pairs.
The Wideband/TDR option also includes everything you need to qualify and troubleshoot lines for all standard digital services, including HDSL, HDSL2, T1, E1, ISDN BRI, ISDN PRI and DDS. Within seconds, the unique ADSL AutoTest determines whether a pair can provide ADSL service - even predicts upstream and downstream rates and bits per frame.
You can identify, locate and repair line faults and qualify loop performance - all at the push of a button. And CopperPro can capture the test results for complete documentation.
CopperPro combines a toolbox approach with programmable Auto-Tests that make testing fast and easy. Results are displayed graphically on its large, bitmapped display that's easy for users to view in all light conditions. In addition, integrated tests combine functions to help the user understand what' causing the problem as well as pinpoint the location.
The result? Better and faster service. Higher productivity - and profitability.
As a standalone tool, CopperPro's handheld design makes it easy to carry and operate wherever testing takes you. CopperPro is easily automated for even greater testing speed and consistency - with documented test results.
You can identify and locate common physical cable faults like shorts, crosses, opens, splits, pair imbalances caused by bad splices and corroded metallic faults on unused pairs.
CopperPro also makes it easy to find the root causes of transmission problems, like excessive noise or signal loss, and helps locate and identify loop treatment devices like range extenders, network interface devices and maintenance termination units.
And, CopperPro makes fast work of qualification for both POTS like Caller ID, ANI and dial up modems, as well as digital broadband services like ADSL (DMT and CAP), T1, E1, DDS, ISDN, HDSL and HDSL2. That includes noise, loss and crosstalk measurements, predicted data rates, and location of impairments like load coils or bridge taps.
CopperPro offers the following sixteen test set capabilities:
1. Digital Multimeter (AC/DC Voltage, Resistance)
2. Opens Meter
3. RFL Meter
4. Noise Meter (VF and WB, Gaussian and Impulse)
5. Time Domain Reflectometer
6. Dial Set
7. Leakage Tester
8. Ammeter (DC)
9. Loss Meter (VF and WB)
10. VF and WB Precision Signal Generator
11. Tracing Tone Generator
12. ANI and CID Tester
13. ADSL Connectivity Tester —
14. ADSL and Special Services Pair Qualification Set
15. VF and WB Longitudinal Balance Meter
16. Power Harmonics Analyzer
Results are displayed graphically on its large, bitmapped display that's easy for you to view in all light conditions. In addition, integrated tests combine functions to help you understand what's causing the problem as well as pinpoint the location.
