If Earth leakage protection does not operate the test will time out. Repeat test at least twice per phase if an inconsistent reading is displayed. Repeat the test and discard any blatantly inconsistent readings. These occur occasionally and are caused by noise effecting the signal.
PHASE INFORMATION PRESS this button to enter phase information Phase information will provide input phase to phase voltage and phase to earth voltage. This test requires main power supply to be on and contactor to be closed after appropriate earth continuity mode selection.

Phase information Test screen Allow voltage snapshot to load then press phase rotation button to display rotation. If a change in rotation is made voltage must be updated first and then phase rotation button must be pressed again to read the current rotation and voltage.
4. SERVICING Charge the instrument when battery voltage falls below 11V. Low voltage can cause malfunction of this instrument. This instrument contains 3.2Ah LiFePo4 battery that requires a special charger. Do not use any other battery charger to charge this device other than the charger supplied.
