Safety Information
A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the9062.
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user.
Read First: Safety Information
To avoid possible electric shock or fire, do the following:
- Read the following safety information carefully before using or servicing the instrument.
- Adhere to local and national safety codes.
- Individual protective equipment must be used to prevent shock and injury
- Use of instrument in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair safety features/protection provided by the equipment.
- Avoid working alone.
- Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test lead continuity. Damaged leads must be replaced. Do not use the 9062 if it looks damaged.
- Be careful when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
- When using the probes, keep fingers away from probe contacts. Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
- Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of additional operating circuits connected in parallel or by transient currents.
- Verify operation on a known source prior to measuring hazardous voltages (voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc).
- Do not use the 9062 with any of the parts removed.
- Do not use the 9062 around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
- Disconnect the test leads from power sources and the 9062 before changing the battery.
- Do not use the 9062 in a wet environment.

Using the Motor & Phase Rotation Indicator
Determine Rotary Field Direction
To determine the rotary field direction:
- Connect one end of the test leads to the 9062. Make sure the L1, L2, and L3 test leads are connected to the corresponding input jacks.
- Connect the test probes to the other end of the test leads.
- Connect the test probes to the three mains phases. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing.
Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator illuminates showing the type of rotary field direction present.
Warning
The rotary indicator lights even if the neutral conductor, N, is connected instead of L1, L2, or L3. Refer to Figure 2 (also shown on the back of the 9062) for more information.
Non-Contact Rotary Field Indication
For non-contact rotary field indication:
- Disconnect all test leads from the 9062.
- Position the Indicator on the motor so that it is parallel to the length of the motor shaft.
The Indicator should be one inch or closer to the motor. See Figure 3. - Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing.
Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise 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 9062 should be oriented towards the drive shaft. See the Orientation Symbol on the 9062.
See Table 2 for the minimum motor diameter and number of pole pair to obtain a reliable test result.

Determine the Motor Connection
- Connect one end of the test leads to the 9062. Make sure the L1, L2, and L3 test leads are connected to the corresponding jack.
- Connect the alligator clamps to the other end of the test leads.
- Connect the alligator clamps to the motor connections, L1 to U, L2 to V, L3 to W.
- Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the instrument is ready for testing.
- Turn the motor shaft half a revolution towards the right.
Note
The bottom of the 9062 should be oriented towards the drive shaft . See the Orientation Symbol on the 9062.
Either the Clockwise or Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator illuminates showing the type of rotary field direction present.
Magnetic Field Detection
To detect a magnetic field, place the 9062 to a solenoid valve.
A magnetic field is present if either the Clockwise or the Counter Clockwise Rotary indicator illuminate.
Maintaining the 9062
This section provides basic maintenance information.
Caution
To avoid damaging the 9062:
- Do not attempt to repair or service the 9062 unless qualified to do so.
- Make sure that the relevant calibration, performance test, and service information is being used.

Replacing and Disposing of the Batteries
Warning
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from the source before opening the 9062 for battery replacement.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator appears.
Note
The 9062 contains alkaline batteries. Do not dispose of these batteries with other solid waste. Used batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Contact your authorized Fluke Service center for recycling information.
The 9062 uses a 9 V battery (supplied). To replace the battery, follow these steps and refer to Figure 4:
- Disconnect test leads from any power source.
- Remove the holster.
- Place the 9062 face down on a nonabrasive surface and loosen the battery-door screw with a flat-blade screwdriver.
- Lift the battery access lid away from the 9062.
- Replace the battery as shown in Figure 4. Observe the battery polarity shown in the battery compartment.
- Secure the battery access lid back in position with the screw.
- Place the 9062 back in the holster.
