Single-Pole Phase Test; Phase Rotation Test; Trip Test Of Rcd; Continuity Test (Rx) - Wiha 45217 Manual De Instrucciones

Single-pole phase test

Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation condition/ groun-
ding conditions of user or of the equipment under test aren't good enough.
Verification of live-circuit shouldn't be dependent on this Single-pole phase test
only, but on the voltage test.
• Hold the tester well in your hand. Connect the "L2 +" probe to the object under
test. Single pole LED lights up and buzzer sounds when a voltage of approx.
100 V AC or more exists in the object under test. (Pol ≥ 100 V AC).

Phase rotation test

• L LED and R LED for phase rotation test may operate on various wiring systems,
but effective testing result can be obtained only on three-phase 4-wire system.
• Hold the tester good in your hand and connect both probes to the object under
the test.
• Phase-to-phase voltage is indicated by voltage LEDs.
• R LED lights up for right rotary field.
• L LED lights up for left rotary field.
• Measurement principle: The instrument detects the phase rising order regarding
the user as earth.
Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the insulation condition/ groun-
ding conditions of user or of the equipment under test is not good enough.

Trip test of RCD

For voltage tests in systems with RCD (earth leakage circuit breakers) an RCD
can be tripped with a 10 mA or 30 mA nominal leakage current on single phase
AC 230 V power system.
• Connect probes "L1" and "L2" between L and PE of RCD protected system.
• Press simultaneously both of Trip TEST RCD pushbuttons.
• The RCD should trip.

Continuity test (Rx)

The test circuit/object shall be de-energized before measurement.
• Check for the absence of voltage by conducting a two pole voltage test on the
test object.
• Connect both test probes together or press the torch light pushbutton to switch
ON the tester.
• Connect both test probes to the test object. For continuity (up to approx. 500
kΩ) the continuity test LED – Rx is on and the buzzer is active.
• Continuity test automatically switches OFF after approx. 30 seconds if no
continuity is detected. When tester is OFF, If continuity is detected it will be
automatically switched on again.

Diode test

Make sure the object under test isn't live.
• Switch into diode testing mode by short pressing torch-button repeated until
symbol is shown on LCD. Connect both test probes to the diode under test.
• Continuity LED lights up, buzzer sounds continuously and forward voltage is
shown on LCD if L1 tip is connected on Anode of diode and L2 tip on Cathode.
• Continuity indication will be off if L1 tip is connected on Cathode of diode and
L2 tip on Anode.
• Tester switch to voltage measurement if voltage > 6 V or single pole is detected
during diode testing.
