Operating manual

TRITEST

control

The phase-sequence indicator TRITEST

control is a

measuring instrument for testing the phase sequence

of three-phase mains (subdistributions, sockets etc.).

The applicable three-phase nominal voltage range

is 400 V - 690 V, 50 Hz - 60 Hz. As supplementary

device, the measuring instrument is equipped with an

integrated battery-powered LED pocket lamp. Before

using the measuring instrument, carefully read this

operating manual and always observe the safety

instructions!

1. Considerations for use

This operating manual is addressed to

- professional electricians and

- electrotechnically trained people.

The TRITEST

control is intended for being used in

dry ambient conditions and must not be used for three-

phase mains with a nominal voltage higher than 690 V

AC (also see section 9 „Technical data“).

The following symbols are used in this operating man-

ual and on the TRITEST

control:

observed in order to prevent danger for

people.



Attention! Observe documentation!

This symbol indicates that there are

instructions in the operating manual that

must be observed to prevent dangers.

2. Safety instructions

- The device is designed and tested according to

DIN EN 61557-7/ VDE 0413-7, DIN EN 61557-1/

VDE 0413-1 and left our works in technically safe

condition. To preserve this condition and to ensure

safe operation, the user has to observe all instruc-

tions and warnings contained in this operating

manual.

- During testing, hold the device by the insulated test

handles A, B and C only and do not touch the

testing electrodes (probe tips)



- The device may be used only in electrical circuits

of over voltage category III with a maximum volt-

age of 400 V between the conductor and ground.

With measurements within measurement category

III, the projecting conductive part of a contact tip

of the measuring leads must not be longer than

4 mm.

Prior to carrying out measurements within mea-

surement category III, the push-on caps provided

with the set and marked with CAT III and CAT IV

must be pushed onto the contact tips. The purpose

of this measure is user protection.

- Before opening the housing cover

(battery com-

partment), separate the test handles A, B and C

from all voltage sources and measuring circuits!

- Remove the batteries, when you do not use the

device for a longer period of time!

- Do not dispose of used batteries via the house-

hold rubbish! Dispose of those batteries via special

waste facilities!

- Please observe: Working on live parts and sys-

tems is dangerous! Even voltages from 30 V AC

and 60 V DC onwards might involve life-threaten-

ing dangers for people!

- Check the device for damages before each meas-

urement.

- Always protect the measuring instrument against

moisture or dampness. Furthermore, protect it

against contamination and damages!

- Protect the device against condensation water.

Condensation water might form, if the device is

brought from a cold into a warm environment.

Thus, the insulating power inside the device might

be reduced and measuring and insulating faults

might occur. In such a case, store the device in an

appropriate environment at a higher temperature

for approx. 1 hour.

- If it can be assumed that safe operation is no long-

er possible, put the device out of operation and

secure it against unintended operation.

- Safe operation is assumed to be no longer pos-

sible, if

- the device exhibits visible damages (housing,

cable, test handles),

- the device no longer works,

- the device has been stored under unfavour-

able conditions for a longer period of time,

- the device was exposed to mechanical stress

due to transport.

3. Scope of delivery

The scope of delivery of the TRITEST

control consists

of:

3.1 one TRITEST

control with fixed connecting

cables, L1, L2, L3

3.2 one safety probe tip L1, brown (TN 709266)

3.3 one safety probe tip L2, black (TN 709267)

3.4 one safety probe tip L3, grey (TN 709268)

3.5 one safety alligator clip, black (jack Ø = 4 mm,

TN 709269)

4. Functional description of the phase-sequence

indicator

The phase-sequence indicator TRITEST

control is

equipped with two integrated voltage divider systems

with star connection. One of the systems indicates the

phase LED (indication of the phase voltages L1

, L2

, L3

). The other system (combined resistance and

capacitor) ensures the phase-sequence indication by

means of two LEDs

and

. The capacitor (reac-

tive impedance) and the resistances (active resistance)

build up a phase shift and is almost in phase with a ro-

tary field (travelling wave). The respective LED (clock-

wise

or anti-clockwise

phase sequence) gets the

higher voltage and is activated.

Note:

The phase sequence can be tested even with the bat-

teries being removed or empty.

5. Battery installation/ battery indication

Before opening the housing cover

, separate the

test handles A, B and C from all voltage sources and

measuring circuits.

The battery compartment is behind the housing cover

at the back of the device. There are apertures on

the sides of the device to release the cover. For this

purpose, use a 5.5 mm slotted screwdriver by means

of which you can move the cover over the holding

notch with a rotary movement. Thus, the cover can be

removed.

Please ensure correct polarity when inserting the bat-

teries (see battery symbol)!

When closing the housing, make sure that the cover

locks into place correctly and that there is no gap on

the side of the housing.

In case of low battery voltage, the pocket lamp cannot

be operated. Please replace the batteries!

6. How to test the phase sequence

Contact the connecting cables (test cables) L1, L2, L3

with the mains to be tested. If necessary, use the probe

tips A, B and C and the alligator clip

The phase voltages are indicated by means of the

LEDs L1

, L2

und L3

Depending on the connection, the LED for “clockwise

phase sequence”

or for „anti-clockwise phase se-

quence”

is activated. Please observe for each

testing that all of the three phase voltages have to be

present to obtain a correct indication!

7. Pocket lamp function

The LED lamp

can be switched on via the sliding

switch

integrated into the side of the device. The

pocket lamp function can be operated independently of

the phase-sequence indicator system.
