POTS Line Tip and Ring Testing

"POTS" refers to Plain Old Telephone Service, also known as Analog Telephone or Landline Telephone Service. For DID trunks, T-1 lines, PBX, and other special telephone circuits, it is important to connect the telephone circuit with proper tip and ring polarity. This tester will allow you to determine which connection is the Tip (T) line and which is the Ring (R) line. Tip is the Positive side, and Ring is the Negative side.

While the toner is designed to work with standard telephone ringing voltage (24 VAC), it is not intended to be used on any active AC circuits over 24V, nor is it designed to be used on any DC circuits exceeding 42 VDC.
