Are you planning to install a new telephone? Are you having a problem with a newly installed telephone? Then the Model TT-400 Telephone Line Analyzer Kit will help you pinpoint exactly where the problem is. The TT-400 connects between your telephone and the telephone wall jack and performs the following four tests: a) Line Test - Verifies the DC voltage to your telephone.
TELEPHONE OPERATION The primary purpose of the telephone is to transmit and receive voice signals allowing two people with telephones to communicate with each other. To be of practical value, the telephone must be connected to a switching network capable of connecting each telephone to many other telephones.

Mount the Meter Take off the four nuts, lockwashers and washers from the mounting screws on the meter. Insert the meter into the case from the front. Replace the four washers, lockwashers and nuts onto the meter as shown in Figure D.
Modular Jack Cut off the yellow and black wires at the base of the modular jack (they are not used). Cut the red and green wires to 4” and strip 1/4” of insulation off of each wire. The spade lugs (if any) are not used.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE 1. Set the switch to the LINE/RING position. Apply 40VDC between J1 and J2 (be sure J1 is positive), see Figure 8. Adjust R5 so that the meter reads on the line at the start of the LINE OK area. (if 40V is not available, apply 20VDC between J1 and J2, and adjust R5 so that the meter reads on the last line of the letter “N”...
SIMPLIFIED INSTRUCTIONS (FOR MORE DETAIL, SEE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS). LINE TEST 1. Set the switch of the TT-400 to the LINE/RING position, and connect it and the telephone as shown in Figure 10. 2. Hang up the telephone connected to the TT-400. All other telephones connected to the same line should also be hung up.

When hung up, the telephone should have practically no effect on the telephone line. 6. If the meter is still not in the LINE OK area with all telephones unplugged, the problem is in the line. Recheck and if necessary, remove and rewire any newly installed wires. 7.
telephones on the same line are also hung up. 3. The TT-400 meter should read in the LOOP OK area. If not, unplug each telephone one at a time. If unplugging a telephone causes the TT-400 meter to read in the LOOP OK area, that telephone is probably defective.
