Multifunctional Level Meter
LM-321

This is a hand-held type multifunctional level meter equipped with functions required for the testing and maintenance of voice-band transmission lines, transmission equipment, and communication devices.

Equipment Category
Measuring instruments for transmission characteristics
Power supply
AC adaptor, AA batteries

Consisting of an oscillator, level meter, DC voltmeter, AC voltmeter, and ohmmeter, this hand-held meter is capable of high performance.

The measured values can be directly read through the digital display, and the peak hold function allows the retention of maximum and minimum values, thereby allowing the meter to be used for checking fluctuation ranges and other applications.

* The peak hold function can be used for measurement using the DC and AC voltmeters and the ohmmeter.

The single frequency measurement function allows the measurement of control signals, etc. through the answer and single tones of facsimiles and modems.

Measuring the answer tones allows the measurement of incoming call levels of devices at opposite ends of the line such as facsimiles and modems.

Capable of LM-321 to LM-321 calls through 4-wire leased lines, eliminating the need for providing a separate telephone line when testing such a call.

Configuration example

lm-321a
The single frequency measurement function can measure such as facsimile or modem's answer tone.
lm-321b
Capable of LM-321 to LM-312 calls through 4-wire leased lines, eliminating the need providing a separate telephone line when testing such a call.
