DESCRIPTION
Whether installing, servicing, or maintaining voice service and data on copper lines, you’ll want the newest member of the Nautilus telephone test set family at your side. The TM900 offers a new LCD screen display showing “caller ID” and related features, plus a comprehensive phone book including ten number “last number redial”, direct display of line voltage, loop current, ringing frequency, and the ability to receive DTMF strings. All while still offering protection of digital traffic and hands-free speakerphone functionality, plus much more. With this innovative design, Tempo continues investment in “butt-in” test set technology, setting new, unmatched standards in both quality and customer satisfaction
The TM900 butt set gives meaning to the term “weatherproof”: This award-winning, waterproof case design allows technicians to operate with confidence in even the most extreme weather conditions.

OVERVIEW
Ergonomic
Designed for comfortable shoulder placement. Operate in either hand, clip onto the belt, or use hands-free.
Rugged & Weather Resistant
IP67 is water and dust resistant. Tough enough to withstand the working environment.
LCD
Immediate access to caller ID and memories, measurement of on-hook voltage, off-hook current, and ringing frequency.
DTMF Digit Recognition
Ensures auto-dialing to the correct number. DTMF power is indicated in dBm to ensure that line conditions are good.
DSL Filter
High impedance design ensures maximum digital line compatibility in both monitor and talk modes.
DigAlert™
Detect and protect digital services and warns the user and protects itself from high voltages and currents.
SmartIntercom™
Allows alerting over a “dead” pair of wires. When a call is requested from one unit, the other unit wakes up, validates the request, and acknowledges it with a unique tone.
Intercom
Talk over a “dead” pair of wires.
Toner
A built-in pair tracing toner is provided. The frequencies chosen are optimized for use with Tempo probes, or any other probe that works in the telephone audio frequency range.
Handsfree & Loudspeaker
Convenient duplex speaker phone function plus loudspeaker monitoring.
Photo-Luminescent Keymat
Advanced silicone rubber keypad glows after exposure to light, aiding operation in low light conditions.
Warranty
Three-year Nautilus™ family limited warranty.
