Ameritec AM-44XT

The Ameritec Model AM-44XT is a powerful feature filled analog TIMS set that fits in the palm of your hand.  Operation is intuitive and it is well designed for field use with its small size, light weight and battery operation.

It is designed for measurement of voice and data on 2 or 4 wire  circuits. It contains a full function signal generator to generate the test tones used for performing the standard telecom measurements. It is a butt set with built-in dial, talk and listen capability with a selection of 600 ohm or 900 ohm termination impedance. This unit fully complies with Bell Standard 41009.

How Does It Work?

The user utilizes the color-coded controls and menu selection to select the desired measure mode and send mode. Measurements are captured and are automatically displayed. Immediate display indicates if the measurement is out of range "over" or "under". All controls are edge-mounted rocker switches or slide switches color coded with descriptive labeling on the front of the unit for all switch functions. The keypad which is normally used for dialing, has a unique secondary function which allows setting of all control parameters associated with the more complex tests. The keypad is also able to set signal generator levels and frequencies.

What Does It Do?

The Ameritec Model AM44XT can do a variety of measurements. With its built-in dial capability on dial-up networks it can access a distant responder or a second AM44XT for centralized 2-wire testing. You can use a single unit with an Ameritec responder for centralized loop back testing. Or, use two sets for a complete end-to-end test of 4-wire data lines.

What Can It Test?

A single unit with the capability to do the measurements of three separate instruments. Able to measure transmission circuits over the extended voice band 200 Hz to 5000 Hz as follows: 

• dBm level or dB loss
• Frequency
• Frequency Response (Attenuation Distortion)
• Noise
• Noise with Tone
• Signal/Noise Ratio
• P/AR
