The result is an even more versatile test set that identifies frequently missed faults as well as tests and qualifies the transmission quality of POTS lines. This all-in-one tester performs a battery of critical tests to identify intermittent troubles that other test sets can't detect. The tests performed by the Tempo Sidekick testers include: Stress testing (reads audible noise on a stressed pair), Leakage testing (finds intermittent resistance faults), Loop Current testing (T&N only), Circuit Loss testing (T&N only), Metallic Noise testing (T&N only), Power Influence testing (T&N only) and Load Coil detection (T&N only).
