Features:	TS22A	TS52 PRO	TS52 PRO Labor Savings over TS22A
Real time voltage		X	Time Savings – 60 seconds Value – Quickly assess line condition for sufficient voltage using the real time voltage reading on the LCD (diagnostic troubleshooting) Alternative methods – use another meter (CopperPro, volt/ohm meter)
Real time loop current		X	Time Savings – 60 seconds Value – Quickly assess line condition for sufficient voltage using the real time voltage reading on the LCD (diagnostic troubleshooting) Alternative methods – use another meter (CopperPro, volt/ohm meter)
Caller ID		X	Time Savings – 60 seconds Value – Verify Caller ID functionality using the LCD Alternative methods – use CID tester (average cost = $120) or none at all….repeat report.
Visual ANAC		X	Time Savings – 10 seconds Value – Quickly verify a the phone number of a particular line using visual ANAC (as opposed to acoustically) Alternative methods – use CID tester (average cost = $120) or none at all….repeat report.
DTMF digit grabbing		X	Time Savings – 30 seconds Value – Diagnose forward dialers, security systems, fax systems, keypads and other customer premise equipment that use DTMF for signaling Alternative methods – use MLT w/second person.
Glow-in-the-dark keypad and backlit LCD		X	Time Savings – 10 seconds Value – Prevent dialing wrong numbers and misreading CID or Digit Grabbing results when in low-light environments Alternative methods – use a flashlight or headlamp
Real time battery level indicator		X	Time Savings – 60 seconds Value – Accurately determine the battery life remaining and the life of batteries prior to use (prevents using dead batteries) Alternative methods – trial and error with batteries or use another meter (volt/ohm meter)
Data lockout protection and override		X	Time Savings – 10 seconds Value – Immediately determine if data is present on the line through an audible alert Alternative methods – listen for data hiss in monitor mode or use another meter (CopperPro)
