BESANTEK 1. Safety Rules & CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK This tester has been designed with your safety in mind. However, no design can completely protect against incorrect use. Electrical circuits can be dangerous and/or lethal when lack of caution or poor safety practices are used.
BESANTEK Avoid bare hand to hand contact between the tester and extended test leads. When using the tester with test leads, ensure that they are safe and properly authorized. Disconnect the tester from any external circuit when checking or changing the Fuses.

BESANTEK When replacing the fuse use only the type specified, HBC fuse, and insert correctly into the fuse holder. Always double check the lead connections before making measurements. This instruments has 2 internal fuses. For increased safety, use fused test leads (optional).
BESANTEK 3. General Description This Test Instrument is a 3 Phases Presence and Rotation Indicator which display the results on a large "high contrast" Liquid Crystal Display. It does not need any battery as it derives it's power from the system under test.
Page 7
BESANTEK When utilized on a 3 Phases Powered System, this instrument is a rotary field indication instrument which display all three phases by showing up it's corresponding LCD Phase Presence Indicators (L and L • It display the rotation (clockwise or anti-clockwise) on the LCD.

BESANTEK • • You can confirm the Phase Rotation on a Powered 3 Phase System. (" '''\, ',,, ______ ___ L1 Missing L2 Missing L3 Missing No Rotation No Rotation No Rotation Indication Indication Indication • The corresponding Arrows and L L2 and L3 will clearly indicate the rotation of the phases .
BESANTEK 4. Brief Product Description This 3 Phases Presence and Rotation Indicator has 3 test leads which connects to the 4 mm female sockets on the tester, on the one side. These Test leads are color coded. L 1 = Red which connects to L 1 on the tester.
5. Operating Instructions Determination of the rotary field direction and phase presence On a 3 Phase System, the sequence of the 3 phases determine the rotation of a 3 phase motor connected to that system. The correct 3 Phase Sequence L results in a clockwise rotation of the connected motor.
7. Principle of how it work As this instrument takes it's power from the circuit under test, it has a power supply circuit which derive it's power from the system. That supply circuit regulate a +5V for the circuitry. This is why you need a minimum of 40Vac before this instrument is operational.
BESANTEK 8. Preparation for use Fuses: doubt, check the fuses using a ohm meter. Please note that this instrument will not indicate anything, should the fuses be blown. Test Leads: Check the test leads for defects or cracks. Replace if cracked or damaged. Only replace with the same type.
