INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an AEMC® Instruments Phase & Motor Rotation Meter Model 6611.
For the best results from your instrument and for your safety, you must read the enclosed operating instructions carefully and comply with the precautions for use. Only qualified and trained operators should use this product.

International Electrical Symbols

AEMC-INSTRUMENTS-6611-Phase-and-Motor-Rotation-Meter-FIG-1

Definition of Measurement Categories (CAT)

  • CAT IV: Corresponds to measurements performed at the primary electrical supply (< 1000 V).
    • Example: primary overcurrent protection devices, ripple control units, and meters.
  • CAT III: Corresponds to measurements performed in the building installation at the distribution level.
    • Example: hardwired equipment in fixed installation and circuit breakers.
  • CAT II: Corresponds to measurements performed on circuits directly connected to the electrical distribution system.
    • Example: measurements on household appliances and portable tools.

Precautions for Use

  • This instrument complies with safety standard IEC 61010-1.
  • For your own safety, and to prevent any damage to your instrument, you must follow the instructions given in this manual.
  • This instrument can be used on CAT IV electrical circuits not exceeding 600 V with respect to earth. It must be used indoors,in an environment not exceeding pollution level 2, at an altitude of not more than 6562 ft (2000 m). The instrument can therefore be used in complete safety on (40 to 850) V three-phase networks in an industrial environment.
  • For safety reasons, you must use only measurement leads having a voltage rating and category at least equal to those of the instrument and compliant with standard IEC 61010-031.
  • Do not use if the housing is damaged or not correctly closed.
  • Do not place your fingers near unused terminals.
  • If the instrument is used other than as specified in this manual, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
  • Do not use this instrument if it seems to be damaged.
  • Check the integrity of the insulation of the leads and of the housing. Replace damaged leads.
  • Be prudent when working in the presence of voltages exceeding 60 VDC or 30 VRMS and 42 Vpp; such voltages can cause a risk of electrocution. The use of individual protections is recommended in some cases.
  • Always keep your hands behind the physical guards of the probe tips or alligator clips.
  • Always disconnect all leads from the measurement and from the instrument before opening the housing.

Receiving Your Shipment

Upon receiving your shipment, make sure that the contents are consistent with the packing list. Notify your distributor of any missing items. If the equipment appears to be damaged, file a claim immediately with the carrier and notify your distributor at once, giving a detailed description of any damage. Save the damaged packing container to substantiate your claim.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Description

  • This three-in-one test tool is a must for any plant maintenance staff and will identify proper sequencing for three phase power very quickly and easily.
  • This is also an ideal tool for measuring the proper rotation of motors, conveyors, pumps and other electrical devices interconnected on the power line system before installation.

NOTE

  • The Model 6611 does not require fusing because the inputs are protected by a high impedance circuit which limits the current to a safe value.

This meter provides the following functions:

  • determination of the direction of phase rotation
  • presence or absence of phase
  • determination of the direction of rotation of a motor with or without connection
  • determination of the activation of a solenoid valve without connection

OPERATION

Determine Rotary Field Direction

On a three-phase electrical network:

  1. Connect one end of the test leads to the Phase & Motor Rotation Meter, make sure the L1, L2 and L3 test leads are connected to the corresponding input jacks.
  2. Connect the alligator clips to the other end of the test leads.
  3. Connect the alligator clips to the three mains phases, PRESS the ON/OFF Button, the green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing.
  4. Either the Clockwise or Counterclockwise Rotary indicator illuminates showing the Type of rotary field direction present.
  5. The rotary indicator lights even if the neutral conductor, N, is connected instead of the Test lead input jacks.
  6. Refer to Figure 2 shown in § 3.3.1 (also shown on the back of the Phase & Motor Rotation Meter) for more information.

WARNING

  • The wrong direction of rotation may be displayed if a lead is connected in error to the neutral conductor.
  • Refer to the instrument’s back label (see Figure 2 above) for a summary of the various display possibilities.

Non-Contact Rotary Field Indication

  1. Disconnect all test leads from the Phase & Motor Rotation Meter.
  2. Position the Indicator on the motor so that it is parallel to thelength of the motor shaft, the Indicator should be one inch or close to the motor.
  3. PRESS the ON/OFF Button, the green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing.
  4. Either the Clockwise or Counterclockwise Rotary indicator illuminates showing the Type of rotary field direction present.

NOTE

  • The indicator will not operate with engines controlled by frequency converters.
  • The bottom of the Phase & Motor Rotation Meter should be oriented towards the drive shaft. See the Orientation Symbol on the Phase & Motor Rotation Meter.
