Abstract

See full text

A piezoceramic device has two layers of piezoceramic material bonded together, the layers polarized in opposite directions. The device is used to detect, and indicate, a change of voltage between two conductors and specifically is used between the tip and ring lines of a telephone line having more than one extension, to give a line status indication. A visual, yet non-electrical, readout of one polarity is provided when the bending piezoelectric element moves into a window in the housing wall.
