Line Loop Tester
Available with Field Replaceable Switches
Simpson’s Model 8455 Line Loop tester detects line shorts, opens and multiple
ringers, DC voltages and loop resistance. It can measure DC voltage up to 100 volts
and loop resistance to 2 megohms. A front panel “reverse polarity” switch allows
changing polarity positions quicker and easier than manually switching test leads
when making line checks. This switch is
enabling your loop tester
to be operational at all times without costly shop repairs. The compact durable
construction of this tester ensures continued accuracy even under the most rugged
conditions.
