CAUTION
Proper Rotation detection relies on solid signal connection to all three test lead terminals
simultaneously. Any single disconnection will lead to detection failure and may produce false
indication. To verify signal connection and hence proper meter indication, swap any two
connects (to the meter) to check for meter indication of reverse movement
Using the Hi-sensitivity mode
for Motors:
Connect to the Motor as illustrated. Be sure the electricity supply is removed. From the
perspective of looking down the shaft of the motor, speed-spin it clockwise to generate
sufficient signal strength for proper meter detection. If the meter indicates a clockwise
movement, the motor leads connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the meter are L1, L2 and L3 (also
known as R, S and T) respectively. If the meter indicates a counter-clockwise movement,
swap any two connects between the meter and motor. Then retest.
Using the Regular-sensitivity mode
for MAINS (Electricity Supplies):
Connect to the MAINS as illustrated. If the meter indicates a clockwise movement, the
phases connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the meter are L1, L2 and L3 (also known as R, S and
T) respectively. If the meter indicates a counter-clockwise movement, swap any two
connects between the meter and phases. Then retest. Connect the above mentioned L1, L2
and L3 of a Motor and that of the MAINS respectively should be able to get a clockwise
motor movement.
Using the Complementary Beeper feature
:
The Complementary Beeper feature is selected in Power-up option. Press and hold the
REC
button while turning the meter on to enable. If the segments indicate a clockwise movement,
the beeper sounds a single long beep per segment cycle. If the segments indicate a counter
clockwise movement, the beeper sounds 3 short beeps per segment cycle.
MAX/MIN/AVG Record mode
Press
REC
button momentarily to activate MAX/MIN/AVG
recording mode. The LCD “MAX
MIN AVG
”
turn on. The meter beeps when new MAX (maximum) or MIN (minimum) reading
is updated. Press the button momentarily to read the MAX, MIN, AVG readings in sequence.
Press the button for 1 second or more to exit MAX/MIN/AVG recording mode. Auto-ranging
remains, and Auto-Power-Off is disabled automatically in this mode.
Backlighted LCD display
Press the
SELECT
button for 1 second or more to toggle the LCD backlight. The backlight
will also be turned off automatically after 10 minutes to extend battery life.
