TESTS
The following are typical tests performed by the Model 501 Telephone Test System. Other tests are available which are customized to their countries requirements. Contact Microtronix or your Local representative for details.
Acoustic Transmisson Tests:
Frequency Response measurements for Transmit, Receive and Sidetone. Absolute, Best Fit or relative limits are provided depending on the country specification. Loudness ratings selectable for ITU-T, OLR, OREM-A or OREM-B. Tracking Bandpass filters are used to reduce the effects of factory noise on the results.

Return Loss:
Compares phone to selectable reference impedance in the Modules Unit. Echo return loss computed per ITU-T G.122
DTMF Dial Test:
Measures voltage, frequency, duration, twist, total power of the high and low group tones simultaneously. Memory locations and re-dial can also be tested for the correct sequence of digits as specified in the test program. DTMF tone bursts as low as 40mS can be detected and measured by the test system. Acoustical verification of transmitter muting during dialling and comfort or confirmation tone can be performed. DTMF distortion on Button 1, 5, 9 and O are also available (option).
Pulse Dial Test:
Measures pulse speed, make/break ratio, make/break resistance interdigital duration. These are important measurements to be performed especially when the phones are being used on a legacy network.
Ringer Tests:
Allows either mechanical and electronic alerters to be tested for ringing capability at different voltages, frequencies and ring cycles. Amplitude, frequency and ring cycle is programmable by the users. Ringer capacitance and leakage resistance test are also implemented.
Caller ID Test for Type 1, Type 2 and Type 2.5:
Bellcore, CLIP SIN242 and ETSI Caller ID tests are provided with the test system. Name, Number, Acknowledgement Tone and Caller ID with Disposition provides the knowledge the products under test are displaying the correct information. DTMF Caller ID capabilities can also be implemented in the test system.
Off-Hook Voltage/Current Tests:
Off-Hook resistance of the phone can be evaluated under various line conditions by measuring the TIP-RING voltage.
AC Impedance
AC Impedance at various frequencies can be measured while On-Hook or Off-Hook through a known source impedance, then message the load caused be the phone.
Hookswitch Flash Test
Measures interruption time and break resistance in order to check the switching transistor.
Hookswitch Sequence
Verifies that the receiver is muted before loop current breaks when the hook-switch is depressed.
Acoustic Shock Test
Acoustically verifies that the sound output is limited when a large AC signal is applied to the phone.
Bell Tap
Bell Tap test applies voltage spikes to the phone to ensure the ringer does not false trigger or tap.
Lamp Test
Illuminates incandescent or neon lamps using the appropriate AC voltage.
OTHER CAPABILITIES
Handset Tests
The Handset Interface Unit (1U) can be easily added to the existing test system to provide of handsets only. Frequency response, loudness rating, shorts and transmit DC voltage are performed on the handset before it is connected to the phone. Electret, dynamic and carbon transmitters can be tested with this product.
Handsfree Tests
The Handsfree Interface Unit (1U) provides the ability to evaluate Handsfree or Speaker phones. Frequency response, switching times, and noise threshold tests are performed in an anechoic chamber or acoustically treated room.
Dial/Network Board Test
The Dial/Network Interface Unit (1U) and custom fixture for the particular phone circuit board, provides all functional tests on a finished phone without the handset connected. Additional tests can be performed as different parts of the board are accessible. Check for leakage current on a lithium battery or the AC voltage from the alerter oscillator circuitry are some examples.
