NEW FOREST ELECTRONICS

A comprehensive tool for testing and troubleshooting V24/V28 and RS232C interfaces. A bank of 25 switches allows any interface line to be opened or closed, the 100 LEDs show the state of the lines on both sides of the switches, any line can be patched to any other using the jumper leads supplied

25 slide switches, to open or close any line 100 LEDs to show line state on both sides of the switches Four state monitoring of each line: red = SPACE/ON, green = MARK/OFF, both = clock or data, neither = no signal (-3V < Vs < +3V) Patch any line to any other line using the jumper leads supplied (click for picture) 2 LEDs for current loop measurement (4,10,20,60 mA) Ground potential difference test capability Two DB 25/9 mini adapters included, for connection to 25 or 9 way interfaces Face plate gives a complete description of all signals and explains the DB25/9 conversion (click here) Connector for external 9V battery included to allow cable testing or facilitate control line simulation Can test any interface cable with DB25/9 connectors (requires external 9V battery)
