Directions: Before and after each test, determine the volt meter is operating satisfactorily through verification of known AC & DC voltage sources. With the meter

switched to ACV and test leads in ACV meter jacks, a qualified person can insert probe points into any two of the (4) terminal posts {L1, L2, L3, GND}.

2. To check for zero electrical energy during shut off, verify sources of feedback or stored energy are first neutralized. With the meter and leads setup for ACV

measurement, verify the (6) post pair combination circuits above are de-energized. Change voltmeter and test leads for DCV measurement. Again verify the (6) post

pair combination circuits are also de-energized for DCV (stored energy).

With power removed, free dust and particles from front label and jack sockets with compressed air. Maintain a clean label by gently wiping with a clean damp cloth

while power is removed. Cleaning while powered is not recommended.

MAINTENANCE:

BEFORE OPENING A PANEL, TURN POWER OFF! SAFETY PROCEDURES STILL APPLY! Before working on an

electrical conductor, verify zero electrical energy with proper voltage testing instrument and the proper procedure as

per NFPA 70E 120.1(5), 120.2 (F)(2)(f)(1-6), OSHA 1910.333(b)(2)(iv)(B)."

BE SURE POWER IS SHUT OFF PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS DEVICE.

CAUTIONCAUTION

• ALWAYS connect the GRN/YEL (GND) conductor to earth ground.

• Location of device and internal hardware/wiring MUST allow free operation of ON/OFF disconnect mean. For indoor use only.

• Means of anti-rotation is required (see knock-out for one or more tab locations).

• The O-ring material is FVMQ uorosilicone. Please refer to a Chemical Compatibility chart for your application(s).

• Maximum single component failure fault current is 3.2mA @ 1000V or 1000V with a momentary short between

any (2) test points.

• Do not operate above 1000V or 1000V @ 55°C ambient or >2000m altitude or >80% RH.

• If this product is used in a manner not herein prescribed, the protection provided may be impaired.

Use of an Overcurrent Protection Device or Fuse is “NOT RECOMMENDED“ when installing these devices in safety applications

for verifying both voltage presence and voltage absence condition. A blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker connected in line

with this device could potentially lead to a false negative indication of voltage which is otherwise present. This device has been tested as equivalent

to overcurrent protection for the application of tap conductor requirements.

1. Follow all Local, State, and National Electrical Codes when

installing this equipment. Overcurrent protection of the supply

leads may be necessary if the device leads are either extended

beyond the supplied length or the device installation extends

beyond the enclosure where the leads are terminated. The

installation of overcurrent protection shall be in accordance

with the requirements in the NEC (NFPA 70) or end product

standard(s) when used in nal installation.

2. Locate the unit in visual proximity to the control panel ON/OFF

disconnect and within wiring distance to incoming Main Lines

and Earth Ground. Mount the unit through a 30.5 mm knockout

hole on the three-phase control panel to be monitored. To meet

Type 12, 13, 4, or 4X sealing requirements, mount with supplied

cap on a clean at surface or inside a Type 4 or 4X housing.

(Fig.1)

3. For Delta congured power, connect 1 bar, 2 bar & 3 bar

black wires to L1, L2 & L3 respectively (Fig. 1) on the fused or

disconnect side of the 3-Phase line voltage. The Green/Yellow

stripe (Grn/Yel) wire MUST be connected to Earth Ground.

(Fig. 2)

4. With the R-3MT-VI installed, wired, and the enclosure closed,

verify the power disconnect is OFF.

5. Using the proper test equipment: the voltmeter should be rated

for Cat III/1000V and Cat IV/1000V. Test probes should be fully

insulated with .080” DIA points to insert into test point jacks.

6. Follow all safety and lock-out/Tag-out (LOTO) procedures. Set

voltmeter to ACV, verify zero voltage between (6) test point

combinations {L1-L2, L1-L3, L2-L3, L1-GND, L2-GND, L3-

GND}, Switch meter to DCV. Repeat all (6) measurements.

7. STORED ENERGY is present whenever DCV readings are

observed. The energy must be removed or discharged before

the enclosure is to be opened or electrician work is to be

performed.

8. Remove any unsafe load conditions and notify personnel power

is about to be restored. Turn power ON.

9. Repeat step 6 measurements but now verify proper operating

voltage conditions appear on the Test Point combinations.

Note: For greater accuracy, multiply voltmeter reading by a factor

of 1.03 to determine actual line voltage.)

3. Ensure your facility personnel are properly trained with the use

and limitations of these devices and properly update the “Point

of Connections” on your installation drawings.

MAINTENANCE

With power removed, free dust and particles from the front of the

label and dust cap with compressed air. Open the dust cap by

unscrewing the cap screw and free the dust and particles on the

inside of the cap and jack sockets with compressed air. Maintain a

clean label by gently wiping with a clean damp cloth while power

is removed. Cleaning while powered is not recommended.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

The categories take into account the total continuous energy

available at the given point of circuit, and the occurrence of

impulse voltages. The energy can be limited by circuit breakers or

fuses, and the impulse voltages by the nominal level of voltage.

Maximum rated voltage of this device is 1000V AC or DC.

CAT III is for circuits which can be connected to the mains

installation of a building. Energy is limited by circuit breakers to

less than 110 000VA with the current not exceeding 11 000A.

CAT IV includes circuits which are connected directly to the

source of power for a given building. There are very high levels of

available energy (e.g. limited only by the power transformer) and

arc ash can occur.
