This meter meets CAT II IEC 61010 standards. The IEC 61010 safety
standard defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV) based
on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses. CAT II meters
are designed to protect against transients in energy consuming
equipment supplied from fixed installation.
This Guide contains instructions for using the Inverter Phase Checker. Refer to the manufacturer’s service manual
of the air conditioning equipment for further safety and servicing information.
Safety
Warning. Read before using the IPC-307
Warning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.
The IPC-307 is intended to be used only on airconditioning, heat-pump and refrigeration based inverter systems only.
Do not connect to power distribution or supply lines (U, V, W).
Use only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the IPC might be impaired.
In order to obtain a correct diagnosis, tests must be made on electrically live parts. Such measurements must be made
by properly trained professional persons, familiar with the hazards involved.
When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
Do not allow conductors of probes to come into contact with other components or any part of the case or metal parts.
Do not make or disconnect circuits while live. This is dangerous and may cause permanent damage to components.
The IPC has a strong magnetic base for mounting conveniently on to steel condenser housings. The engineer must be
sure the mounting is secure before powering up.
Protect the Inverter Checker against water, moisture, condensation and precipitation.
If the IPC or connecting leads are damaged, they must be replaced.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the IPC.
No serviceable parts inside. Do not open the IPC Casing. Operate only with battery cover fitted.
Limit the time the IPC is connected to outputs of continuous activity to 10 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before repeat
test.

Description
Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the
terminals can affect safe use and correct functioning.
If the IPC or connecting leads are damaged, then the IPC will need to be replaced.
Verify the IPC operation by momentarily connecting a known 230VAC voltage to each combination of phase pairs
until, all 6 Indicators have been illuminated.
The battery can be tested by holding the MEM button for 4 seconds: If 6 LEDs light, then the batteries are good.
Use only alkaline batteries.
If storing for long periods remove batteries - in case of leakage.
