When you’re working on active telephone circuits, the last thing you want is to accidentally disrupt digital services while troubleshooting a voice line. Tempo’s Nautilus DigAlert™ Telephone Test Sets are designed to help technicians confidently install, maintain, and service POTS lines without compromising existing broadband services such as ADSL, VDSL, and VDSL2.

The DigAlert™ Series continuously monitors for out-of-band digital signals, alerting technicians to the presence of live data services before testing begins. With super high-impedance monitoring, these test sets minimize the risk of interfering with parallel digital traffic, helping you protect customer service while diagnosing line conditions.

Built for demanding field environments, DigAlert™ test sets feature a rugged, weatherproof housing that stands up to rain, dust, and everyday jobsite abuse. High-voltage and excess-current protection, combined with audible warnings, provide an added layer of safety when working on live circuits. A lightweight, non-metallic quick-release belt clip keeps the unit secure and easily accessible throughout the workday.

Select models add enhanced functionality including loudspeaker monitoring, full hands-free conversation, and specialized versions for unique network requirements such as 12 kHz metering pulse detection or extended-bandwidth DigAlert detection for non-standard VDSL deployments. Whatever your application, the DigAlert™ family delivers the durability, protection, and performance technicians rely on every day.

Backed by Tempo’s industry-leading 3-year warranty, DigAlert™ Test Sets are built to keep you working confidently in the field.

About Tempo Nautilus:

Tempo's Nautilus range of extremely tough and weatherproof test telephones has been trusted by major global telephone companies since 1999. Built to withstand years of use literally "in the field", constructed from a super-tough polymer alloy and sealed with resilient and long life silicone seals. The range are available with Bell (north American) and ETSI (European and associated markets) settings. Various models are available within each telephony settings region with and without loud-speaking or full-hands-free and with and without DigAlert advanced "Digital Services Protection" lockout features. All models are equipped with overvoltage and overcurrent warning and lockout and all require a 9V battery for operation.

Digital Services Protection – In the “on hook” mode, on connection to a circuit, the Test Telephone sounds an alarm to alert the user to the presence of voltages above 75V to 80V DC. Such voltages are normally present on circuits carrying digital services. If the circuit is active, the user can select the high impedance MONITOR mode and listen to the sound to determine if the circuit is carrying digital services without disrupting the traffic. This is present in all models and can be overridden if the extended voltage is expected. If the unit detects a voltage above 120 V DC, this sounds a different alarm and cannot be overridden as this is definitely not a POTS line.

The DigAlert™ Digital Services Detection and Lockout feature present in D350 and D361 models adds another layer of protection for digital services carried on telephony twisted pairs. Detecting "out-of-band" signals and preventing immediate "off-hook" this helps ensure that users of digital services are disrupted as little as possible during maintenance works. Effectively preventing the old practice of "tag running" and helping to ensure technicians only go "off-hook" when they need to. The high impedance monitor and polarity test, plus built-in xDSL blocking filter help to minimize in service errors that may occur to the DSL service.
