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.Safety notes 14 Testboy

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.

TV 411! 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. Instrument description 1 Phase indicator 2 Rotation direction indicator 3 Standby indicator

TV 411 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.Operation Testboy

TV 411 17 ENGLISH 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!Technical data 18 Testboy
