Page 2: Safety Information
SAFETY INFORMA TION Safety Information To ensure safe operation and service of the ModieLamp, please follow these instructions. Failure to observe warnings can result in severe injury or death. • Ensure that user is competent, qualified and authorised to carry out the required work. -
Page 3: Intended Use
A phase sequence indicator. Intended Use: • Modielamp’s intended use is as a set of test lamps for low voltage neutral and phase identification (polarity testing) on three phase (3ø) and single phase (1ø) systems, overhead lines and underground cables, and for general electrical installation testing and fault-finding. -

Page 6: General Instructions
Ensure only appropriately trained and qualified personnel use the ModieLamp. Standard Test-Lamp Usage: The ModieLamp can be used as a standard set of test-lamps with 480VAC, 415VAC, 240VAC and Load-Glow being readily identifiable from the brightness of the incandescent lamps. - Page 7 Use the ModieLamp probes to make contact at the test points. Should the ModieLamp fail to indicate the presence of voltage, it is essential to test the ModieLamp with the Modieprove proving unit immediately. If the...

Page 10: User Maintenance
USER MAINTENANCE The only user maintenance permitted by the manufacturer is cleaning the ModieLamp outer shell and the replacement of the fuse and lamps with the recommended types. Any other maintenance performed will invalidate the warranty. Lamp Replacement: Lamp type: 25W 240VAC E14 Edison screw Using a small flat blade screw driver undo locking screw (keep safe). -

Page 12: Section 4 Testing Procedures
SECTION 4 TESTING PROCEDURES PART 4.2 ACCEPTABLE NEUTRAL VOLTAGE CRITERIA ModieLamp can be used to measure the voltage between the Neutral conductor and an independent Earth, following removal of the customer multiple earthed neutral (MEN) link. The acceptance criterion according to this Australian Standard stipulates Neutral voltage levels of 6V, 15V and 32V in Sect: 4.2. -
Page 13: Impedance Method
IMPEDANCE METHOD: Using a ModieLoad unit (available together with, or as a separate item to, the ModieLamp) as a suitable test load between incoming Phase and Neutral conductors following the methodology as for (1) above, the user can obtain an accurate measure of Neutral Impedance by using Chart 1 or Table 1. Loop Impedance can be obtained under the conditions stated. -
