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.

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 congured 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.)

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.
