Introduction
The 46054 GTS-D Butt-in Test Set is an advanced, convenient, and easy-to-use telephone line
troubleshooting device. Equipped with a number of LEDs and alarms, the 46054 lets the user
know the operating mode and provides alerts for hazardous situations.
LEDs: Polarity
Low Battery
Talk/Monitor
Tones: Low Pitch
Middle Pitch
High Pitch
The LEDs and tones indicate various conditions and functions. They are shown throughout the
manual in italic type.
The 46054 produces two types of alarms to alert the user to potentially hazardous situations.
• Excessive DC voltage is indicated by three low-pitched tones in a row.
• AC line voltage is indicated by continuous ringing.
If you hear either of these alarms, which are repeated in bold italic type in this manual,
remove the test set from the line carefully and immediately.

Operation
The test set must have a charged battery installed in order to operate.
1. Connect the red wire to the ring (negative) side of the circuit.
2. Connect the black wire to the tip (positive) side of the circuit.
3. Use the Talk, Monitor and Mute features as described in this section.
Automatic Ground Start
Some lines, especially PABX, require a momentary ground to draw a dial tone.
Connect the test set’s red and black wires to the telephone circuit as usual, and connect the
green wire to ground. Press the TALK button momentarily to check for dial tone.
The ground start is automatic, and the green wire can remain connected without affecting the
call.
TALK
Press once to go off-hook (connect). Press again or press MONITOR to go on-hook
(disconnect).
▼ Off-Hook Mode
LED: Flashing red
Tone: Middle Pitch–Middle Pitch
▼ On-Hook Mode
LED: None
Tone: Middle Pitch
Automatic Line Checks
After the TALK button is pressed, the 46054 automatically checks the line for the presence of
digital signals. If it detects digital signals, the speaker will produce a distinctive alarm (Middle
Pitch–Low Pitch, Middle Pitch–Low Pitch, Middle Pitch–Low Pitch) to indicate that the test set
is connected to a digital line. To prevent disturbance to the digital information being transmit-
ted, the test set will not go off-hook while connected to this type of line.
After determining that the line is free of digital information, the test set checks for excessive
voltages. If the test set signals either the excessive DC voltage alarm (low pitch, low pitch,
low pitch) or the AC line voltage alarm (constant ringing), remove the test set from the line
carefully and immediately!

Using the Test Set for Troubleshooting Circuits
Some general troubleshooting procedures and tips are provided here. These procedures may
require other tools or equipment that are specific to the communications system installation
trade. For a complete selection of DSV (data-signal-voice) tools, please refer to a Greenlee
full-line catalog, a Greenlee DSV catalog, or visit our website at www.greenlee.textron.com.
Ground fault Check for the presence of voltage. If voltage is
present, measure the level. If it is typical line
voltage, contact the local electric utility.
A long run of telephone
cable near a power line Contact the local electric utility.
Power hum Cable imbalance Break the circuit down into sections and check
each section for an imbalance.
Momentary or impulse
noise This may be due to an unbalanced cable, nearby power switch gear, or similar equipment.
Popping, crackling The customer has an older carbon transmitter
type of telephone.
Noise Hiss (white noise);
pulse dialing causes a
momentary change in
the sound of the noise
This is probably due to water in the cables.
Cross connection Direct wiring fault Check for crossed pairs.
Cross-talk Split pair A split pair (a circuit made up of wires from two
separate wire pairs) will be unbalanced and
prone to cross-talk.
Symptom* Possible Cause /
Troubleshooting Step Explanation
This is a potentially hazardous situation!
If the test set produces the excessive DC
voltage alarm (low pitch, low pitch, low pitch)
or the AC line voltage alarm (constant ringing),
remove the test set from the line carefully and
immediately!

13
Troubleshooting (cont’d)
*Water may cause most of these symptoms and may cause multiple symptoms to appear at
the same time.
Intermittent or
variable current Wet cables or a bad connection If accompanied by noise, the cause is usually wet cables.
If no noise is present, the cause is probably a
bad connection in a cross-connect or a bad
connection at the central office.
RFI (radio
frequency
interference)
Split pair An unbalanced pair near a radio transmitter will
be prone to RFI. Adding radio filters can reduce
the interference on the line (the symptom), but
does not solve the imbalance (the problem). To
troubleshoot, break the circuit down into
sections and check each section for split pairs
or a resistive imbalance.
A strong amount of radio interference may
trigger the test set’s excessive DC voltage alarm
and prevent connection when you attempt to go
off-hook. If this happens, listen closely for the
sound of a radio broadcast to determine if this
is the cause of the alarm. If it is necessary to
make a call in this situation, you may safely
override the alarm by holding down the TALK
button for the duration of the override tone.
When the test set goes quiet, release the TALK
button and dial the number.
Note: This override procedure will not work if
the line is unpowered or if a hazardous DC
voltage is present.
Improperly removed bridge taps may also
introduce RFI. Bridge taps, which were once used
for party-line service (multiple users sharing a
cable pair), were often disconnected but left in
place, with a stub section of cable still connected.
This stub section can act as an antenna and
induce radio signals into the circuit.
