Frequently Asked Questions - TV 411 Testboy

How to turn the Testboy TV 411 on and off?

Briefly press the ON button to turn on the device; the availability LED (3) lights up. To turn off, briefly press the OFF button; the LED goes out.

What is the test voltage range?

The device detects an AC voltage between 70 and 600 V at a frequency of 50-60 Hz.

How to use the rotating field tester?

Connect the non-contact clips in order red (A), yellow (B), green (C) to conductors L1, L2, L3. The direction of the rotating field is indicated by the LEDs: L for left rotating field, R for right.

Can the rotation direction of a motor be tested without contact?

Yes, hold the tester directly on the motor housing, aligning the shaft outlet with the stylized symbol. The LEDs indicate the rotation direction of the motor shaft.

How to replace the battery?

Unscrew the Phillips screw under the battery compartment with a size 1 Phillips screwdriver, open the cover and replace the batteries with two AA (Mignon) 1.5 V batteries.

What are the important safety instructions?

Avoid using the device near welding stations or electromagnetic fields. Do not expose it to high temperatures, humidity or dust. Keep it out of reach of children.

How to clean the device?

Clean the housing regularly with a damp cloth without cleaning agent. Never use abrasive, scouring products or solvents to avoid damaging the device.

What to do in case of non-contact voltage detection without visible contact?

The phase LEDs may light up when clips are near conductive lines or electrostatic parts. This is not a defect, but due to the non-contact measurement process.

What is the measurement category and the standards complied with?

The device is classified CAT III 600 V and complies with standards EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-31.

Safety notes

WARNING

Sources of danger are mechanical parts, for example, which can cause serious personal injury.

Objects are also at risk (e.g. damage to the instrument).

WARNING

An electric shock can result in death or serious personal injury, and also functional damage to objects (e.g. damage to the instrument).

General safety notes

Disposal

Dear Testboy customer: purchasing our product gives you the option of returning the instrument to suitable collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan.

The WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) regulates the return and recycling of waste electrical and electronics equipment. As of 13.08.2005, manufacturers of electrical and electronics equipment are obliged to take back and recycle any electrical instruments sold after this date free of charge. After that date, electrical instruments must no longer be disposed of through the "normal" waste disposal channels. Electrical instruments must be recycled and disposed of separately. All instruments that fall under this directive must feature this logo.

Disposal of used batteries

As an end user, you are legally obliged (battery law) to return all used batteries; disposal with normal domestic waste is prohibited!

Batteries containing contaminant material are labelled with adjacent symbols indicating the prohibition of disposal with normal domestic waste.

The abbreviations used for the respective heavy metals are:

Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.

You can return your used batteries free of charge to collection points in your community or anywhere where batteries are sold!

5-year warranty

Testboy instruments are subject to strict quality control standards. If, during the course of normal daily use, a fault should occur, we provide a 5-year warranty (valid only with invoice). We will repair production or material defects free of charge upon return, provided the instrument has not been tampered with and is returned to us unopened. Damages resulting from dropping or improper handling are not covered by the warranty.

Product description

The non-contact rotating field and rotary tester TV 411 indicates the direction of rotation in relation to the phase sequence of the external conductor and is particularly suitable for service tasks in engine installations.

Non-contact measurement with the coloured insulated terminals accelerates the service application and minimizes the risk of contacting energized electrically active conductors.

The integrated rotary tester can also be used to determine the direction of rotation of an engine shaft with no contact.

A B C 1 2 L M R SENSOR SENSOR 3 OFF ON

Switching on the instrument

To switch on the instrument, briefly press the ON button. The standby LED (3) stays lit once the instrument is switched on.

Phase test

The status LEDs (1) light up when an AC voltage between 70 and 600 V is detected at the respective connection A, B or C.

In some circumstances these light up when the test terminals are close to live conductors or electrostatically charged parts.

This is not an instrument defect, but is due to the non-contact measurement procedure.

Phase sequence testing

To test the direction of the rotating field (right or left) in relation to the phase sequence L1, L2 and L3, connect the non-contact terminals in the sequence red, yellow and green (A, B and C) to the respective external conductors.

The terminals can be connected directly via the insulated single conductors, with no need for any electrical contact with the connection cable. The arrow "▼" on the terminal should be located above the centre of the conductor.

The direction of the rotating field is indicated via the LEDs of the rotation direction indicator (2):

L= left rotating field R= right rotating field

Rotary test

To test the direction of rotation of an invisible engine shaft (e.g. in pumps or flange-mounted gearboxes), hold the Testboy® TV 411 directly on the housing of the electric motor.

Ensure that the output shaft is aligned with the symbol stylized to resemble the tester.

While the engine is running, the LEDs of the rotation direction indicator (2) now indicate the direction of rotation of the engine shaft.

Switching off the instrument

To switch off the instrument, briefly press the OFF button. The standby LED (3) goes out when the tester is switched off.

Maintenance and cleaning

To prevent electric shocks, do not allow moisture to ingress the housing.

Use a dry cloth, without cleaning agent, to clean the housing at regular intervals. Do not use any abrasive or scouring agents, or solvents.

Replacing the battery

To open the battery compartment on the bottom of the instrument, undo the Phillips screw with a Phillips screwdriver size 1. The lid can now be opened and the AA batteries replaced.

If the instrument is not going to be used for a long period of time, the batteries should be removed and the tester kept in an environment that is not too humid or too hot.

Do not leave any spent batteries in the measurement instrument, because even leak-proof batteries can corrode and, as a result, release chemicals that could damage your health and destroy the instrument.

Batteries must not be disposed of with normal domestic waste. There will be a collection point near you!
