  • Page 4: Product Safety Information

    PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING 1. Meter assembly, interconnect cable assembly, and live line tool adapters shall be considered non-insulating. Do not let live line tool fittings come in contact with energized or grounded conductors. The live line tool adapters, fittings, and handles supplied with meters shall not be used on any other devices.

  • Page 5: Overview - Voltage Detector And Phasing Tester

    The Voltage Detector and Phasing Tester: WARNING  see “Product Safety Information”, page 3.  see “Inspection & Maintenance”, page 3. 1. For voltage sensing and phasing on overhead and underground sys- tems. 2. For voltage sensing and phasing at capacitive test points. 3.

  • Page 6: Battery Test

    BATTERY TEST The battery test tells the operator whether the meter probe’s internal battery is fully charged. Turn the selector switch on the back of the meter to position BT (Battery Test) and hold to the right. The meter should show a full scale deflection.

  • Page 7: Sensing On Capacitive Test Points

    SENSING ON CAPACITIVE TEST POINTS Turn the Selector switch to position C (Capacitive Sensing). Fasten the meter probe to appropriate live line tool. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device (provided in the carrying case), depress the button on the test device with the meter probe end.
  • Page 8 Test the meter probe on the Capacitve point.  No meter deflection indicates de-energized source.  Any meter deflection indicates voltage present. Retest meter on test device to confirm that it is working. WARNING  see “Product Safety Information”, page 3. ...

  • Page 9: Phasing On Capacitive Test Points

    PHASING ON CAPACITIVE TEST POINTS Turn the Selector switch to position C (Capacitive Phasing). Connect the meter probe to the second probe with the interconnect cable. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided, depress the button of the test device with the meter probe and place the second probe end on the other terminal.
  • Page 10 While depressing the button with the meter probe, have the second probe make contact with the meter probe end. The meter probe should show a near or zero reading. Place the meter probe end to a capacitive test point. Have the second probe make contact with the meter probe end on the capacitive test point.

  • Page 11: Sensing On Direct Line

    SENSING ON DIRECT LINE Turn the Selector Switch to position L Fasten the meter to appropriate live line tool. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided in the carrying case, depress the button on the test device with the meter probe end.

  • Page 12: Phasing On Direct Lines

    PHASING ON DIRECT LINES Turn the selector switch to position LP (Line Phasing). Connect the meter to the second probe with the series lead. Turn on the test Device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided, depress the button of the test device with the meter probe, and place the second probe end on the other terminal.
  • Page 13 Place the meter probe end on one of the conductors. Have the second probe make contact with the meter probe end on the same conductor. Again, the probe meter should show a Zero reading. Leave the meter probe on the first conductor and contact the second probe on another conductor.

  • Page 14: Line-To-Line And Line-To-Ground Voltages

    LINE-TO-LINE AND LINE-TO-GROUND VOLTAGE Turn the selector switch to position LP (Line Phasing). Connect the meter to the second probe with the interconnect cable. Turn on test device. To test the meter probe on the test device, depress the button of the test device with the meter probe end, and place the second probe end on the other terminal.

  • Page 15: Voltage Check Or Indication, Urd

    VOLTAGE CHECK OR INDICATION, URD Set the selector switch to L Attach insulating handle to meter . probe. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided in the carrying case, depress the button on the test device with the meter probe end.
  • Page 16 Attach URD bushing adapter to meter probe. Plug meter probe with URD bushing adapter into desired bushing. If line voltage is present, meter will indicate approximate line to ground voltage. If line voltage is not present, there will be no meter reading or deflection.

  • Page 17: Phase-To-Ground Voltage Check, Urd

    PHASE-TO-GROUND VOLTAGE CHECK, URD Set selector switch to LP (Line Phasing) Connect the meter to the second probe with the interconnect cable and attach insulating handles to both probes. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided, depress the button of the test device with the meter probe, and place the second probe end on the other termi-...
  • Page 18 While depressing the button with the meter probe, have the second probe make contact with the meter probe end. The meter should show a Zero reading. Attach URD bushing adapter to meter probe. Plug meter probe with URD bushing adapter into desired bushing.

  • Page 19: Phase-To-Phase Voltage Check, Urd

    PHASE-TO-PHASE VOLTAGE CHECK, URD Set selector switch to LP (Line Phasing). Connect the meter to the second probe with the interconnect cable and attach insulating handles to both probes. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided, depress the button of the test device with the meter probe, and place the second probe end on the other...
  • Page 20 While depressing the button with the meter probe, have the second probe make contact with the meter probe end. The meter should show a Zero reading. Attach both URD bushing adapters to probes. Plug meter probe with URD bushing adapter and second probe with URD bushing adapter into bushings to be tested.

  • Page 21: Urd Phasing

    URD PHASING Set selector switch to LP (Line Phasing). Connect the meter to the second probe with the interconnect cable and attach insulating handles to both probes. Turn on the test device. To test the meter probe on the test device provided, depress the button of the test device with the meter probe, and place the second probe end on the other terminal.
  • Page 22 Attach both URD bushing adapters to probes. Test for phase-to-ground voltage on bushings to be phased. Nominal phase-to-ground voltage should be present on both bushings before phasing. Plug meter probe with URD bushing adapter and second probe with URD bushing adapter into bushings to be phased.
