Simpson 8455 Line Loop Tester

Simpson's Model 8455 Line Loop tester detects line shorts, opens and multiple ringers, DC voltages and loop resistance. It can measure DC voltage up to 100 volts and loop resistance to 2 megohms. A front panel “reverse polarity” switch allows changing polarity positions quicker and easier than manually switching test leads when making line checks. This switch is field-replaceable, enabling your loop tester to be operational at all times without costly shop repairs.
