Introduction – Triplett Low Voltage Pro User Manual
Page 4
Have you ever wanted a tester that did the whole low voltage job? A
tester that has super accurate cable testing plus testing APPS for many of
the low voltage devices that you work everyday? Devices such as switches,
PoE, CCTV and Dolby speaker installations? If you are one of those people,
then The Low Voltage Pro (LVPro) is the tester family for you.
More and more cable installers are now doing "device" installations... installing
IP phones, IP cameras, CCTV equipment. They are working with devices
like switches, PoE power, and surroundsound speakers. Cable testing is
still a major part of the job but only one part of the larger job. The LVPro is
the "Whole Job
TM
tester".
But that's not to say we have forgotten about bread and butter quality cable
testing. All models of the LVPro include the basic CABLE TEST APP that
includes TIA586 tests (opens, shorts, split pairs) plus ohms. The LVPro
Models 2 and 3 add the LVPro Length-RLQ APP, a comprehensive test
package that includes length and "RLQ" (Return Loss Quality).
The popularity of our many testers is because over half of all network problems
are caused by faulty cables. And our testers spot those problems so they
can be fixed quickly. But with the explosion in the popularity of electronic
devices there are now lots of other devices to fix. So, when we designed
the Low Voltage Pro we wanted it to be a tester that does the WHOLE JOB.
And we wanted it to be able to grow as your needs grow.
250 REPORTS: Not everybody needs the printed reports that are available
in the Model 3 but it's nice to know that you can upgrade your tester later
should you need it.
WALL JACK AND SPEAKER IDENTIFIERS: Low voltage work also calls
for wall jack identifiers... and speaker identifiers that help with Dolby speaker
installations. All models of the LVPro have this capability standard (wall jack
and speaker ID kits available separately).
WORKS WITH ALL CABLE TYPES. Many of you work with speaker cable,
coax, alarm cable and Category cable (CAT5,6). The LVPro works with
them all. And, if you have a unique cable, the LVPro has adjustable VOP, a
technology that allows the LVPro to be tuned to your cable.
PROTECTED CIRCUITRY. Like any electronic device, you need to care
for the LVPro like any sensitive instrument. But you will be happy to know
that it is protected from voltage up to 60 volts.
WHOLE-JOB
TM
TECHNOLOGY: The Low Voltage Pro is a breakthrough in
"Whole-Job" technology. We hope it helps you solve the many challenges
that you face keeping all this great cabling and equipment working.
WEB UPGRADEABLE: The Low Voltage Pro makes it easy to start small
and grow as your needs grow. The list on the right shows the progression
of TESTER APPS as you upgrade the unit. And, upgrading is easy, using
the LVPro Manager software (downloadable from bytebrothers.com) and
USB cable that comes with every LVPro. See "LVPro Software Manager"
in this manual.
