GENERAL
Temperature range: 0°F to 120°F 0 to 95% relative humidity
The 3555B will operate at
Meter: linear dB scale indicates rms value of input signal. 12dB range.
Meter response
Normal: 200ms to indicate a reading to 0dBm on meter.
Damp: 500ms to indicate a reading to 0dBm on meter.
Maximum input voltage
Tip to ring: 150V peak
Tip or ring to ground: 500V peak
(This is maximum instantaneous voltage. Input circuit will withstand 48V dc CO battery with superimposed 90V rms 20Hz ringing voltage or
±130V carrier supply.)
Maximum longitudinal voltage: 200V rms at 60Hz
AC Monitor: 0.27V rms for 0dBm on meter.
Rout = 8 kilohms. Available at DIAL/AC MON jacks. Sufficient to drive WE 1011B or 52 type headset.
DC Monitor: 1 volt for 0dBm on meter. Rout = 2 kilohms. Jack accepts 310 plug (tip negative).
Input jacks: will accept Western Electric (WE) 241, 309, 310, 358 plugs. Binding posts accept banana plugs, spade lugs, phone tips or bare wires. Removable shorting bar between sleeve and ground binding posts.
Dial/AC Monitor jacks: will accept WE 289, 310, 347 plugs. Accepts WE 1011B lineman's handset or 52 type headset.
Power requirements:
Internal battery: single NEDA 202 45V "B" battery included. Expected battery life - 180 hours at 4 hours per day at 70° F.
AC: 115V or 230V,
External battery: 24V or 48V office battery; jack accepts 310 plug (tip negative) less than 15mA.
