Telecom Tester meets CORE environmental standards.

Press Release Summary:




KeyTek E518 module, for ECAT-based telecom test systems, offers capability of protection coordination testing to 2 kV. It produces 10/1000 µs waveforms to meet first and second level lightning test requirements. Peak voltage and current monitors provide readings from E518 to front panel or computer controller while supplying attenuated outputs to BNC connectors to verify generator waveforms. Additional telecom test modules, surge, and EFT modules are also available.



Original Press Release:



New KeyTek Model E518 For Protection Coordination Testing to Telcordia GR-1089-CORE Introduced



LOWELL, MA (March 1, 2004) - Thermo's compliance test group, responsible for KeyTek product lines, introduces a new module, the KeyTek Model E518, for the popular ECAT-based telecom test systems. This new module adds the capability of Protection Coordination testing to 2kV, that will soon become a requirement
under Telcordia Technologies GR-1089-CORE, Issue 3.

In addition to adding Protection Coordination test capability, the KeyTek Model E518 module includes all capabilities of the current KeyTek Model E509 module for producing 10/1000µs waveforms to meet the First and Second Level Lightning test requirements of GR-1089-CORE Environmental standard. As part of the KeyTek ECAT system, peak voltage and current monitors provide readings from the Model E518 to the front panel or computer controller, and also supply attenuated outputs to BNC connectors as a simple and easy way to verify generator waveforms.

The KeyTek ECAT mainframe provides the perfect platform for expansion, offering additional modules for telecom tests, plus surge and EFT modules for compliance to IEC, national,
or other industry specifications.
