    TECHNICAL DATA ....... 14 MANUFACTURER ......16 We appreciate your having purchased our volt- age tester. The P-3 tester is a modern high-quality, simple and safe device. However it is recommended to get acquainted with the present manual in order to avoid measuring errors and prevent possible problems related to operation of the meter.
  • Page 5: Safety

    Safety The P-3 meter has been devised for the purpose of voltage and circuit continuity testing, measure- ment of resistance and indication of the phase spin direction and phase identification. In order to guar- antee proper operation and adequacy of the results the following recommendations must be observed: •...

    Note: The device can be used in rainy conditions, however at user’s own responsibility. It is recommended to use gauntlets. Measurements Tester operation control Before each operation of the tester, its function- ing must be checked: • Test the voltage indicator using a known volt- age source, •...
  • Page 7: Rcd Operation Test

    Notes: In mains protected with an RCD switch, whose nominal current is 10mA or 30mA, the switch may be activated during a voltage measurement between L and PE. In order to avoid that connect the tester between L and N and after approximately 5s switch the probe over from N to PE.
  • Page 8: Circuit Continuity Test

    Single-pole phase testing may not be sufficient to determine whether the circuit is live. Perform two- pole voltage test. Circuit continuity test Note! The tested object must not be live. Connect both probes to the tested object. A sound signal, diode Ω on, and the legend indi- cate continuity of the circuit (R<600kΩ).
  • Page 9: Phase Sequence Test

    Phase sequence test Notes: The phase sequence may solely be determined in a three-phase system. Contact of the touch elec- trode during measurement in a single-phase system gives a random result. Phasing The phasing function facilitates comparison of voltage phases in two distant point of the installa- tion.

    Cleaning and maintenance NOTE! Use solely the maintenance techniques speci- fied by the manufacturer in the present operat- ing manual. The tester may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which might scratch the casing (powders, pastes, etc.).
