Voltage Protection
The LinkMaster ™ Pro XL is designed to withstand input voltage conditions that occur during normal
telephony applications for a very short period of time (approximately 10 seconds). The LinkMaster
XL monitors for voltage presence in CABLE TEST, LENGTH or COAX modes. The "VOLTAGE!!" message
appears on the screen and the tone sounds continuously. Remove tester from line immediately or tester
