Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do before using the meter to ensure safe operation?

You must read all 'SAFETY NOTES' carefully, as the unit carries a risk of electric shock and misuse can impair its protection.

How does the tester indicate an open phase during testing?

If any one of the three colored lamps (Red, Yellow, or Blue) is not lit when performing the check, it signifies that there is an open phase present.

What steps are required to test for counter-clockwise motor rotation?

Connect leads to L1-L2-L3 and press the power button. Then change the physical connection of the leads before rotating the shaft counter-clockwise.

When should I replace the fuse in the tester?

The fuse needs replacement if either the 'R' or 'T' lamp indicator shows no connection, even after changing the input terminal order (R-S-T).
