Welcome to the Instruction Manual for the  
965DSP-B. ‘DSP’ means ‘Digital Signal  
Processor.’ Digital Signal Processing allows the  
965DSP-B instrument to provide the fast and  
flexible test functions needed for diagnostic  
testing. ‘B’ means ‘Basic’. The ‘B’ version does  
not have the TDR function found in the 965DSP.  
This document will give you a brief overview of  
the product, a description of the test functions,  
and some technical hints on how to find common  
problems on telecommunications cables.  
This document is not meant to be a substitute for

ISDN Bit Error Test  
The 965DSP-B will count and display the number  
of Near-End and Far-End errors.  
“Near-end” errors are the errors detected at the  
965DSP-B. “Far-End” errors are errors detected at  
an ISDN line card. (The far-end count is  
transmitted to the 965DSP-B over the ISDN link.)  
The screen displays the elapsed time since the start  
of the ISDN Error Test. Standard practice is to  
monitor the line for a fixed period of time (5 or 15  
minutes) and count the number of errors.  
The 965DSP-B will automatically stop counting  
errors after 15 minutes.  
The word “Link” will be displayed as long as the  
965DSP-B is linked to the ISDN line. If the link is  
lost, the screen will display “No Link”.

Care and Maintenance  
Battery Pack: The 965DSP-B uses a Nickel  
Metal Hydride (NMH) battery pack. Typical life  
of the battery pack is two years.  
To change the battery pack: 1) loosen the six  
screws on the battery compartment door and  
remove the door, 2) remove the old pack , then  
3) unplug the battery connector.  
To install a new battery pack: 1) plug in the  
battery connector, 2) place the pack in the  
battery compartment, then 3) replace the door  
and tighten the screws.  
Charging:  
The battery pack must be charged on a regular  
basis. You can use the 965DSP-B for up to 12  
hours typical usage (6 hours continuous usage).  
The time between charges may be reduced if  
you use the backlight frequently or if you work  
in very cold weather.  
Typical charging time is two hours.  
Level of Charge:  
The battery icon in the upper right of all screens  
indicates the battery charge. Four black “bars”  
indicate full charge. Zero black “bars” indicate  
the battery pack is very low and should be  
charged immediately.  
AC/DC Adaptor:  
Use the AC/DC adaptor to charge the NMH  
battery pack. Plug the AC cord into the AC/DC  
adaptor and into a power outlet. Plug the DC  
cord into the 965DSP-B.  
IR Port:  
The IR Port on the top of the 965DSP-B is used  
for uploading new software enhancements.  
An IR to RS-232 adaptor cable is provided with  
software enhancements.  
39  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Battery Holder:  
The plastic battery holder that comes with the  
965DSP-B uses six “AA” alkaline batteries  
(alkaline batteries are not included).  
Use alkaline batteries only when the NMH  
battery pack is discharged and the AC/DC  
adaptor is not available. Typical lifetime of the  
alkaline battery pack is eight hours of normal  
use (less if you use the backlight or work in very  
cold weather).  
The alkaline battery pack is installed the same  
way as the NMH pack.  
Test Leads:  
The 965DSP-B comes with a Red/Black test  
lead pair, a Blue/Yellow test lead pair, and a  
separate Green test lead.  
The Red/Black and Green test leads are used for  
most measurements. The Yellow lead is used  
with RFL. The shorting ‘strap’ that comes with  
the 965DSP-B is used with RFL.  
Keep the test leads clean and dry at all times to  
insure best accuracy of the measurements. Use  
soap and water to clean them if necessary.

You may order any of the following replacement  
items from 3M. Contact 3M Telecom Systems
