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.
