2. SAFETY NOTES
1. Read the following safety information carefully
before attempting to operate or service the
detector.
2. Use the detector only as specied in this manual.
Otherwise, the protection provided by the detector
may be impaired.
3. This instrument cannot nd the missing line of
earth line (S line).
4. Do not touch the clips during measurements to get
accurate results.
5. Do not pull the cable when removing the
measurement clips from the measured conductors.
It may damage the cable.
6. Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight,
high temperature, humidity, or moisture.
7. Do not use the instrument while it is wet. Keep dry!
8. Never open battery compartment cover while live
detecting.
9. Subjecting the detection to shock, vibration and
dropping......may damage the instrument.

3. FEATURES
●Protection class: IP40
●895 PR is a phase detector with LED display lights
and beeping buzzer to inform the detection of AC
3-phase sequence.
●Two functions in one unit: open phase and phase
sequence.
● Auto-o󰀨. (5 min Approx.)
●Clipping the right 3-phase lines (up to color) over
the jacket with non-contact sensor clips which
promotes safety during measurement.
●Bright button feature is convenient to make the
indication visible in dimly areas or sun light.
●Back cover magnet feature mounts the
instrument onto a AC distribution panel o󰀨er easy
measurement.
● 3-Phase AC 75 to 1000V is tted for detection.
●Detect frequency range is from 45 to 65 Hz.
●Safety standard:
EN 61010-1 CAT III 1000V / CAT IV 600V
EN 61326-1

6. MEASUREMENT
Before proceeding with measurement, read the safety
notes.
1. Press the power button to turn on the instrument.
All of the LEDS will ash during the 2 seconds. Only
the power LED stays on at the self demonstration
later.
Do not use the instrument when any of the LEDs
do not work.
2. Apex of "▼" mark on each measurement clip hold
on the center of each measurement conductor.
Connect three clips as shown:
Red to L1, Phase-R. White to L2, Phase-S.
Blue to L3, Phase-T.

-9-
Lines connecting the apexes of "▼" marks should
pass through the center of the conductor.
3. Measure a covered conductor AC75V or more rst
to conrm each live LED lights up.
4. Presence of live wires and phase sequence are
informed by LED indication and buzzer beeping as
soon as complete detection.
5. R, S, T LED always lights up while instrument is
detecting the live phase.
6. CW LED ON = correct phase sequence but CCW =
incorrect.
7. 1.3" (33mm) is the maximum diameter of tested
cable.

7. LIVE WIRE CHECK
State Indication
Live Phase with R, S, T ON is
live state
Missing line of Earth line LED does not light up for
missing line of earth line
Earth line
(Delta connection)
Phase with ashing LED is
an earth phase
Positive phase
When the Green CW LED
ON, the circuit is forward
under test. The buzzer
sounds intermittently.
(Bi-Bi-Bi)
Negative phase
When the Red CCW LED
ON, the circuit is reverse
under test. The buzzer
sounds continuously.
(BEE────)
Detect Indications
R, S, T LED ON is live
phase indication. Open
phase which LED is o󰀨.
CW ON = correct phase
sequence.
CCW ON = incorrect phase
sequence.

8. MAINTENANCE
●Battery replacement:
When low battery LED ashes, replace with new
battery.
Follow these steps for battery replacement:
(1) Remove all the clips from the conductors and
power o󰀨 the instrument.
(2) Loosen the screw that secures the battery
compartment cover and open cover.
(3) Replace the battery with a new 9.0V×1 alkaline
battery. Ensure battery is inserted with the
correct polarity.
(4) Install the battery compartment cover and
tighten the screw.

●Cleaning and storage
Periodically wipe the case deterged with a damp
cloth; do not use abrasives or solvents.
After the instrument has been turned o󰀨, the
standby current is below 40uA. If the meter is
not to be used for periods of longer than 60
days, remove the batteries and store them
separately.
