60-Second (spot reading) Method

Spot readings are often used as predictive/preventive 
maintenance tools. Readings are generally taken at regular 
intervals (quarterly, semi-annually, etc.) and recorded on a 
chart that stays with the equipment being tested. To make an 
analysis of a motor using this method:

    1.  Check and record equipment temperature.

    2.  Check dew point temperature of the ambient 

air - equipment under test must be above dew point 
temperature for accurate results.

    3.  Ensure no power is applied to the equipment under 

test and all connections are removed in order to 
totally isolate the motor, cables or equipment from 
other circuits.

Use the connection tables to determine where 
to make connections.

       

•  If you are testing a motor, the brushes must be 

removed prior to testing 

       

•  Connect all components that are 

NOT

 

being tested, including motor housing, to 
ground (EARTH)

       

•  Test Field and Stator windings independently

    4.  Turn your instrument power on (DMEG3).

    5.  Place rotary function select switch to the 

INSULATION

 

position, with the correct voltage selected - Use the same 
voltage every time.

    6.  Make connections according to the sequence tables 

provided or as your circumstances require.

    7.  Using a stopwatch or watch with a second hand, begin a 

60-second test at the same time you press and hold (or 
lock) the “Press to Test” button.
