If a modem could do broadband speeds without having to have the line engaged it may still be in use. There are a good few companies that still prefer fax for example. The time to be received is similar to an email so it's still fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 Must admit I was using a fax machine myself until it packed up a few weeks back & never had any complaints. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrolhead Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I use the test um lil buttie, it has dsl indication and a screen with onboard dtmf decoding, cli, line voltage, line current and polarity indication. tbh though I dont use pstn for intruder alarm signalling but it is still very prevalant in warden call and medical alarm signalling, and the dtmf decode has been very handy on a number of occasions. I bought a few when comtec were having a clearout at around £13+vat Edited June 1, 2019 by petrolhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks, will check it out. I've got the test-um high power toner & probe kit, that's been a really good bit of kit. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkies look bemused when we use a prob and toner kit , then realise why nothing is labelled , easy to find with that Edited June 1, 2019 by al-yeti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange how many ask to borrow them, once they see the kit in action. Used to have the ideal kit, but that went at the same time as the butt phone. The test-um is great for bigger sites as well.

Specialist Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 In case anyone is interested, the tone generator is the TG200 & the probe is the TT100. The generator can apparently send a signal up to 2Km, never tried it at that but certainly works up to about 700m. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.
