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

Determine the Motor Connection

1. 

Connect on end of the test leads to the motor and phase rotation meter. 
Make sure the L1, L2 and L3 test leads are connected to the 
corresponding jack.

2. 

Connect the croc clamps to the other end of the test leads.

3. 

Connect the croc 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 bottom of the motor and phase rotation indicator should be oriented 
towards the drive shaft. See the orientation symbol on the motor and phase 
rotation meter. Either the clockwise or counter clockwise rotary indicator 
illuminates showing the type of rotary field direction present.

Magnetic Field Detection

To detect a magnetic field, place the motor and phase rotation meter to a 
solenoid valve. A magnetic field is present if either the clockwise or the 
counter clockwise rotary indicator illuminates.

     

  Note:

The motor and phase rotation meter 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.
