are connected to the corresponding input jacks. 2. Connect the Alligator clips to the other end of the test leads. 3. Connect the Alligator clips to the three mains phases. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing.
Figure 2. Phase Indication Table (shown on the rear of the Motor and Phase Rotation indicator) Non-contact Rotary Field Indication For non-contact rotary field indication: 1. Disconnect all test leads from the Motor and Phase Rotation indicator. 2. Position the Indicator on the motor so that it is parallel to the length of the motor shaft.

for testing. Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator illuminates showing the type of rotary field direction present. Note The indicator will not operate with engines controlled by frequency converters. The bottom of the Motor and Phase Rotation indicator should be oriented towards the drive shaft.
See Table 2 for the minimum motor diameter and number of pole pair to obtain a reliable test result. Table 2. Reliable Motor Test Requirements Min. Angel Between Rotary Number Of Rotary Field (1/min) poles Number of Motorcase at Frequency (HZ) pole pair 16 2/3 3000...
3. Connect the alligator clamps to the motor connections, L1 to U, L2 to V, L3 to W. 4. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing. 5. Turn the motor shaft half a revolution towards the right.

Note The Motor and Phase Rotation indicator contains alkaline batteries. Do not dispose of these batteries with other solid waste. Used batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
