Product Description

The following information is sourced from the H Heuer website.

The LT51 Line Tester is a portable handheld battery powered instrument. It combines the features of several pieces of test equipment such as a Selective Level Meter / Spectrum Analyser, Distortion Analyser, Generator and Handheld DMM in the one small lightweight package.

It is the ideal instrument for testing the analog FXS & FXO interfaces of digital exchanges and PCM multiplexers. The LT51 is also very well suited to testing the carrier and information signals used in Power Line Communication (PLC) equipment.

The LT51 can be deployed as a stand-alone instrument in single-ending testing configurations to qualify cable pairs, or together with a second remote LT51, can perform more accurate terminated end-to-end testing. In stand-alone configurations (without PC control) testing can be automated with selected test sequences stored in the LT51. Alternatively, the LT51 can be remotely controlled by a PC over the isolated USB link.

Great care has been taken to achieve easy operation of this instrument. Most functions are accessed by a single button press, or one further soft-key selection. Measurement results can be displayed graphically or numerically (in DMM mode) and can be simply saved into non-volatile memory for later recall or up-load to a PC for further evaluation and printing.

Firmware upgrades with new features are freely available and can be easily downloaded to the LT51 in the field.
