5.8 Phase Sequence Verification
1. Connect the red test lead to the “c” terminal, black
test lead to “b” terminal and yellow test lead to “a”
terminal
2. Set the multifunction selector to “600V~/abc”
range.
3. Connect yellow/black/red test lead to three-phase
contact point, If the phase sequence indicator
lights on, indicating the connection is in correct
phase sequence.
4. If the phase sequence indicator lights off, please
swap black (b) and red (c) test leads, if the
indicator remains off which means that there is a
missing phase or wrong connection, please use
Live Wire Verification function to verify each phase
again.
5.9 Live Wire Verification
(BS1901/1W)
1. Connect the red test lead to the “ ” terminal, black test lead to “COM” terminal and hold
the black test lead (please note:
do not touch the test pin and keep your hands away
from the finger guard of the test lead!
)
2. Set the multifunction selector to “600V~/abc” range.
3. Use the red test lead to contact the live wire to be tested. When there is a live wire, the
Live Wire Verification lights will turn on.
5.10 Continuity test
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM” terminal and red test lead to the “ ” terminal.
2. Set the multifunction selector to (same as
) position.
3. Connect the test leads across the circuit to be tested, if the resistance less than 30
Ω,
buzzer will be activated.
!
CAUTION: Max. input overload: 250V rms < 20sec.
5.11 Battery test
(BS1901/01W)
1. Connect the black test lead to the “COM”
terminal and red test lead to the “batt.”
terminal.
2. Set the multifunction selector to battery
“1.5V or 12V” range
3. To measure the battery voltage without
loading (V
1
), connect the test leads to
the battery, red test lead to the battery
cathode (+), back test lead to the battery
anode (-). If the display shows ‘
−
’ which
means the red test lead is connected to
the anode (-).
4. To measure the battery voltage with
loading (V
2
), press the “HOLD/batt.” key.
The meter presets the internal loading R
0
=900
Ω
for 12V and R
0
=150
Ω
for 1.5V.
5. To find the internal impedance (R
i
) of the battery, the following formula can be used.
R
i
=
Voltage without loading - Voltage with loading
Internal loading
=
(V
1
- V
2
)×R
0
V
2
For example: V
1
=1.550V; V
2
=1.450V; R
0
=150
Ω
for 1.5V battery measurement
5.12 Square waveform output
(BS1901W)
1) Connect the black test lead to the “COM” socket and red test lead to the “
mA
” socket.
2) Set the function selector to “
OUT
“position.
3) connect test leads across device under test.
5.13 Measuring AC current with an add-on clamp
(optional)
1. Connect an add-on clamp anode (-) to “COM”
terminal and cathode (+) to
terminal
2. Clamp the tested wire with the clamp head and the
AC current value will be shown on the display.
6. MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
BEFORE ATTEMPTING BATTERY REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT, DISCONNECT
TEST LEADS OR PROBES FROM ANY ENERGISED CIRCUITS TO AVOID SHOCK
HAZARD.
6.1 Fitting and replacing the battery
1. Ensure that the instrument is not connected to any external circuit, set the Multifunction
selector to OFF position and remove the test leads from the terminals.
2. Remove the screw of the battery compartment on the bottom of the back case.
3. Replace the spent battery with the same type and rating.
4. Reinstate the battery compartment, tighten and securing screw.
6.2 Cleaning
Periodically wipe the case with a soft damp cloth and mild household cleanser. Do not use
abrasives or solvents. Ensure that no water gets inside the equipment to prevent possible
shorts and damage.
