Evening Marshall,
No that should not cause a problem unless you are in contact with the water or
electrodes when it rings.
Everyone needs to experience this shock a few times. Most people can
not imagine how the 75 to 90 VAC feels. Most cannot imagine how 750 VDC
feels.
Very few indeed have experienced a lightning bolt that leave the face
numb for a few hours. After that, I never talk on the phone during a
thunderstorm. I was in a large metal building, the line took a good hit
someplace. I could taste blood in the mouth and the face and jaw felt like
I just got out of the dentist chair.
After all that, I experienced the Stun Gun. I think the lightening bolt
delivered more voltage and more power than the Stun Gun. I can't estimate
the pulse length of either. I know that you are glad when it is over.
The Ringing Voltage, incoming calls or outgoing calls all seem fully
compatible with the phone line tester.
Of course OFF hook time must be subtracted from total time as the 52 VDC
disappears.
The real problem is that this is against the Federal
law enforced by the FCC.
I don't doubt your sanity and the fact that you are right about
this. However, I have many phone accessories that draw several times the
current of the CS Gen / Phone Line Tester.
I have even built circuits and installed them that worked with phone
lines. Possibly all of these were violations also.
So, these other devices have to be approved and tested to be legal?
This little gadget is built into a surface phone terminal block. The
Telephone line input jack is still there.
Out the other side are two short wires ( about 8 to 10 inches, 20 ga
stranded ) with alligator clips.
For the benefit of Homeland Security and Airport Security, the device is
clearly labeled, "Phone Line Tester".
On the back are instructions for testing the phone line. One statement
says, "Not for use with Digital Systems". One LED is near the center.
To test the phone line, simply plug in a line and short the alligator clips
together.
If the LED glows full brilliance, the phone line is good. No illumination
or a dim glow indicates a possibly bad phone line.
Testing the phone line by using two electrodes submerged in distilled
water is a better method of testing.
The gadget is amazingly simple. It is a bit hard to assemble. The tip
and ring reversal is the best feature.
No matter what the polarity of the phone lines, the red lead is always
positive and the black is always negative.
Of course the Electrodes have no polarity preference, but the LED does.
I never saw a unit like this. My mickey mouse design is original. I will
try to get a picture over the week end.
Compared to the 3 X 9's, it works relatively fast. You could make a 6 X 9
and do the same thing.
The advantage of this little tester is that it fits into the shirt pocket.
