TSS 500M6B

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 500 series are used to proof the immunity of telecommunications equipment.
The TSS 500M6B is used for 4-wire applications as per Bellcore GR-1089-Core. It can also be used for the 2-wire telecom port testing.

The TSS 500M6B 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 impedances 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.
Pre-programmed Standard Test routines allow highest user convenience. Still the TSS 500M6B 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.

Front panel menu and function keys enable the user to program his test routines quickly and accurately. The cursor allows fast control of all test parameters of the programmed routine, thus test procedures are simplified and confidence is generated that every step is carried out correctly.

Outstanding user convenience, clearly structured windows and operation features and the EM TEST standards library along with the flexibility to generate user specific test sequences very easily are the main features of iec.control software. The software is automatically configured according to the connected EM TEST generators. Extensive reporting capabilities help the user to create test reports that meet international requirements.
iec.control is supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Remote control is achieved either via RS232 or GPIB. iec.control supports a wide range of GPIB cards of National Instruments.

The TSS 500M series covers the wide range of Telecom Surge requirements as per Bellcore GR-1089-Core, FCC 97-270 (part 68) and the various ITU-T recommendations as well as the requirements of many EN/IEC standards and some national Telecom Standards.
