8.  Disconnect the test probe to the L1 phase cable (at this point the “

PH

” disappears). 

The symbol "

L2

" means that the instrument is waiting for the second phase to be 

measured. 

 
For the phase rotation test: 
9.  Connect the test probe to the L2 phase cable or simply lean it to the insulated cable 

under test. 

 
For the phase concordance test: 
9.  Connect the test probe to the L1 phase cable of the second three phase system or 

simply lean it to the insulated cable under test. 

 
10. When an input voltage higher than 100V is detected, the buzzer beeps and the 

message “

PH

” is displayed. In this case do not press any key and keep the test probe 

connected to the phase cable. 

11. After about one second the symbol “

MEAS

“ appears on the display indicating that the 

instrument is performing the second measurement. 

 

 

CAUTION 

 

Be quick. If you wait more than 10 seconds between the first and the second 
measurement the instrument displays the message “

SEC

” and it’s necessary 

to repeat all measurements again. In this case press the “

” function key 

and restart from step 1. 

 
12. The test result is displayed. If the phases to which the probe is connected 

  belong to the same phase, the instrument displays “

1.1.-.

”, and lights the green LED 

  follow the correct sequence, the instrument displays “

1.2.3.

” and lights the green LED 

  follow the incorrect sequence, the instrument displays “

2.1.3.

” and lights the red LED 

13. To perform a new test press “

” and restart from point 1. 

 

 

CAUTION 

 

  The detected voltage is NOT the phase to neutral voltage, but the voltage 

between the conductor and the operator who is holding the instrument. This 
value can be lower than the phase to neutral voltage. 

DO NOT TOUCH 

THE PHASE CABLE IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER VOLTAGE IS 
PRESENT OR NOT

  If the operator is insulated from the ground (e.g. insulated floors, shoes with 

rubber soles etc.) the instrument may not measure correctly. 

  We recommend to repeat the test at least twice to make sure that the 

detected value is correct.
