The meter manual is still available at the link I am providing....
: I think this board is pretty cool and all,
: although some of the questions don't have
: simple answers. This question isn't the
: easiest to answer simply but here's a stab
: at it.
:
: Well... I've been pretty much an inside
: plant / CO equipment sorta guy, but since my
: company was Worldcommed I have had to get
: work where I can find it. Right now I'm a
: network switching tech for Sprint. We have
: copper spans in my area, and so we use the
: 3100. Probably very close to what you're
: talking about, an analog meter. Here's the
: kick...
:
: Make sure you pair is not powered (no
: current, pull your office card, repeater,
: whatever...
:
: 1.Go to the X1K scale.
:
: 2.Put one lead to ground.
:
: 3.Put the other lead to a wire in your pair.
:
: Switch the polarity. Needle ought to kick.
: 1k equals one mile, thereabouts... if you
: don't get the same kick on the other side of
: a pair it's open on that side.
:
: You can also read for ground, side-cross,
: etc. But for me to tell you all that,
: well... I'd be pushing it. Transmission
: media to me was always fiber, until
: recently.
:
: Hope this helps...

: Hello, I am an electrical apprentice, but
: with
: my past telecom experience my company has me
: doing a lot of telephone work. Sometimes the
: need arises that i have to pull out my nice
: old NE KS8455 "kick meter" to test
: a pair or two. Most of the tech's I used to
: work with were old timers from Bell canada
: and knew how to use them, but I have
: forgotten all...I was wondering if anyone
: here might have some useful pointers on
: using
: the good old KS meter?
: PS any Bell canada techs on this site?
: Thanks in advance!
