Introduction:
Micro
Seven Model LS15, Hand-held International Telephone Line Simulator, provides
battery operation as well as AC/DC adapter operation. The model LS15 with
international power adapter option is intended to be used all around the world.
The international power adapter option provides four different power plugs
(US/Japan, BK, Australian, and European) in 90-250V AC. Because it is
battery-operated unit, the application include modem
and telephone sets testing in engineering, manufacturing, and fields, emergency
telephone equipment, telephone line simulators for telephone line installers,
and dedicated telephone lines for various outdoor activities including athletic
events. The LS15 contains dual frequency call progress tones, 20Hz sine wave
ring signal, programmable loop voltage, short primary or programmable secondary
telephone number, caller-ID generation, caller-ID on call-waiting generation,
stutter dial tone, Visual Message Display messages, 1kHz test tone, distinctive
ring signals, and many other test tones. The LS15 also contains line-impairment
mode with extra insertion losses and random noise added for long-distance
telephone lines. The programmable parameters include caller-ID name and
telephone numbers, privacy/out-of-area, single/multiple message format, date
and time, battery voltage of 20 or 40 V, and many CW-CID parameters. All the
programmable parameters are restored back after the power to LS15 is turned.
The model LS15 also includes the Sleep mode, a power-saving feature, where the
power is shut down when both lines are on-hook for certain period. Therefore,
the power switch of LS15 may be left on indefinitely consuming little power.
The model LS15 is small and light that technicians may carry it on their
shoulders or on waist belts with an optional case. The rechargeable battery
inside LS15 provides several hours of battery-power operation, and the battery
may be recharged overnight with a provided AC/DC adapter. The LS15 may also be
operated by provided AC/DC Adapter or an external DC source with Car Battery
Adapter. A carrying case, Car Battery Adapter, and international power adapter
option providing four different power plugs (US/Japan, BK, Australian, and
European) are available as options. The LS15 is also equipped with a
forced-disconnect feature where disconnect signals are sent to calling and
called lines. The duration of the disconnect signal is also programmable.
Programmable network response delay simulates time delay after completion of
dialing. Simulated PBX mode returns dial tone after dialing 9. The secondary
call progress tone generates a single-frequency tone instead of dual-frequency
call progress tone. Programmed parameters are still restored for model LS15
without battery.
A lower cost model LS15-C
without caller-ID and other features is also available.
