Initialization and Power Off Initialization and Power Off Press the power button to turn on the TTRU1. After turning on the TTRU1, the Megger logo will display, followed by the screen corresponding to the rotary knob position. Press the power button to put the TTRU1 into sleep mode. While in sleep mode, the power button can be pressed again and the TTRU1 will immediately turn back on.
Rotary Knob Functions Rotary Knob Functions The rotary knob is used to select different functions of the TTRU1. Move the rotary knob to the left or right to select the desired function. Some functions may have more than one rotary knob position.
Buttons Buttons The 8 buttons shown below are the primary controls for the TTRU1. The four rectangle buttons will be mapped to functions displayed on screen directly above the buttons. The enter, delete, and save buttons will have different functions based on the screen displayed. The play button will start and stop tests when the rotary button is set to TTR, Go/No Go (ADV and PRO models), and Impedance testing (EXP model).
The differences are shown below. TTRU1 BASIC TTR Screen TTRU1 ADV, PRO, and EXP TTR Screen TTRU1 BASIC Test Setup Press the enter key to select the maximum test voltage from the following options: 1 V, 4 V, 8V, 16 V, 32 V, or 50V.

Press the SECONDARY button to cycle through secondary Amp selections With PT selected, press the PRIMARY button to set the primary winding voltage. Press the SECONDARY button to set the winding, connection, and L-L voltage for the secondary winding. www.megger.com...
Page 24
Press the Play button to start a test. If a TEST ID was not entered when the PLAY button was pressed, the TTRU1 will ask the user if they would like to enter a test ID. Click the buttons below the green check mark to use the default TEST ID. Click the buttons under the red cross and the TEST ID entry screen will be displayed.
Page 25
Connect the USB Printer to the TTRU1 and select the PRINT button to print the results. Press the enter button to return to the TTR Test Setup screen. The TEST ID will automatically increment to facilitate data grouping.
Page 26
TTRU1 ADV TTR Test Setup The operation of the TTRU1 ADV is comparable to the TTRU1 BASIC. Key changes are highlighted below. Clicking the SAVE button will save the vector, primary, and secondary winding information as a custom vector based on the TEST ID.
Page 27
A single phase vector that has multiple secondary connections have the connections options limited to those available. For example, 1Ø TX 1Ph0 #2 has two secondary connections: X1-X2, and X1-X3. When configuring the secondary voltage, the options to select will be X1-X3, X1-2, and N/A. www.megger.com...
Page 28
TTRU1 PRO TTR Test Setup The operation of the TTRU1 PRO is comparable to the TTRU1 ADV. Key changes are highlighted below. Press the enter key to select the maximum test voltage from the following options: 1 V, 4 V, 8V, 16 V, 32 V, 50 V, 80 V, or 125 V.
Page 29
TTR Screen TTRU1 PRO TTR Results In place of additive/subtractive phase deviation, the results screen of the TTRU1 PRO shows phase deviation. This is a more accurate representation of the relationship between the primary and secondary winding. When testing three phase vectors, using the enter button to return to the test setup and then pressing play will highlight the next phase to be tested, guiding the customer through all three phases of tests.
TTR Screen TTRU1 ADV and PRO Go/No Go Impedance Test Setup The Go/No Go impedance test of the TTRU1 is very similar for the ADV and PRO units. The only difference being the maximum test voltage allowed. The vector select options, including custom vectors, are the same as the TTR Test Setup. Please refer to the previous sections for selecting vectors.
Page 31
TTR Screen TTRU1 ADV and PRO Go/No Go Impedance Test Results When testing is complete, the TTRU1 will report pass or fail for open circuits, short circuits, and inductance tests for each winding. Open circuit ensures continuity through a winding.
TTR Screen TTRU1 EXP Short Circuit Impedance / Leakage Reactance Test Setup The short circuit impedance / leakage reactance test is only available in the TTRU1 EXP. As with TTR, pressing enter will change the maximum test voltage. Pressing the KVA and Z% button enables entry of KVA/MVA and impedance % values. These values will be used to evaluate the results of the impedance test.
Page 33
Click and hold the enter button for three seconds to view additional test information, including measured impedance, reactance, inductance, power factor, and AC resistance, and test voltage and current. Press enter to return to the test setup. If testing three phase transformers, the TTRU1 will guide testing to the next phase.
TTRU1 PRO and EXP Results All Results Saved results can be viewed on the TTRU1 PRO and EXP models only. Test results are listed with a test number, Test ID, Date of test, Result type (Ratio, Go/No Go, or Z%), and % error. % error will be blank if primary or secondary information was not saved with the result.
Page 35
Press the play button to load the test setup for TTR and Impedance testing. After pressing the play button, the TTRU1 will instruct the user to choose the appropriate rotary knob position. Once the rotary knob is set to the correct position, the test setup will load on the display.

+1 670 676 8500 vfcustomersupport@megger.com Troubleshooting The Troubleshooting Guide is designed to evaluate the reasons for a TTRU1 malfunction. The possible test set malfunctions and causes are listed below. Electronic circuit repairs should not be attempted in the field. Refer to Repair section.
The TTRU1 requires only periodic inspection. Inspect all hardware items to ensure all are in good condition. The TTRU1 may be cleaned periodically. In so doing, do not allow water to penetrate panel holes. An all-purpose, household spray cleaner can be used to clean the panel. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the cables and mating panel receptacles with isopropyl or denatured alcohol applied with a clean cloth.
