Abstract

An improved and simplified voltage sensitive switching unit for opening a telephone subscriber pair at the line of demarcation for purposes of conducting line tests of the pair from the telephone central office to determine the state of the line. Relatively complex prior art circuitry is replaced by a combination of inexpensive solid state devices which eliminates the need for a prior art combination of diode bridge and transistor switching network.
