4.2.1 Pretest Procedure
1. Connect the “A” (black) and “B” (red) leads on the phase
rotationsideofthemetertoaknownACpowersourcebetween
100and600VAC.Makesurethatthe“A”LEDlights.Ifitdoes
not,refer toChapter5of thismanualand thediscussionon
fusereplacement.
2. Connectthe“C”(blue)and“B”(red)leadsonthephaserotation
sideofthemetertoaknownACpowersourcebetween100
and600VAC.Makesurethatthe“C”LEDlights.Ifitdoesnot,
refertoChapter5ofthismanualandthediscussiononfuse
replacement.
4.2.2 Operation
1. Connectthetestleadstothe3-phaseinputterminalsmarked
A-B-C.
2. Connect the alligator clips to the terminals of the 3-phase
powersourcetobetested.Connectingorderisoptional.
3. MakesurethatallthreeLEDs(A-B-C)foropenphasecheck
areon.Ifallareon,thereisnoopenphasepowerproblem.
IfLED“A”or“C”areout,verifythatpowerispresentusinga

4.3 Motor Rotation Tester Operation
WARNING: NEVER USE ON ENERGIZED MOTORS!
Use a multimeter to verify that no voltage is present on
the motor winding.
4.3.1 Pretest Procedure
1. Press the Red motor rotation test button and verify that the
GreenLEDisbrightlylit.Ifitis,thebatteryisOK.Ifitisdimly
lit,seeChapter5forbatteryreplacement.
4.3.2 Operation
1. MakesurethepoweristurnedOFFonthemotorunder test
andthatnovoltageispresent.
2. Connect the test leads to the motor input terminals in the
followingorder:Blackto“A”,Redto“B”andBlueto“C”.Then
press the power button (see Figure 2). The power indicator
GreenLEDshouldlight.

WARNING: If the Red clockwise or counter-clockwise LED
islitbeforerotatingthemotorshaft,itmeansthereisvoltage
present.Stopthetest,disconnectthetestleadsandturnoffthe
externalpower.
 If the clockwise red LED turns on when rotating the motor
shaft in the clockwise direction, it means the 3-phase motor
connectiontothepowersourceisintheA-B-Csequenceand
the3-phasemotorshouldrotateclockwisewhenpowered.
3. Rotatethemotorshaftcounter-clockwise.Ifthecounter-clock-
wiseredLEDturnson,itmeansthe3-phasemotorconnection
tothepowersourceisintheA-B-Csequenceandthe3-phase
motorshouldrotateclockwisewhenpowered.
4. Ifyou require the motor torotate counter-clockwise, change
the power source connections to a B-A-C sequence. The
