Operating manual
TRITEST
®
control
The phase-sequence indicator TRITEST
®
control is a
measuring instrument for testing the phase sequence
of three-phase mains (subdistributions, sockets etc.).
The applicable three-phase nominal voltage range
is 400
device, the measuring instrument is equipped with an
integrated battery-powered LED pocket lamp. Before
using the measuring instrument, carefully read this
operating manual and always observe the safety
instructions!

1. Considerations for use
This operating manual is addressed to
- professional electricians and
- electrotechnically trained people.
The TRITEST
®
control is intended for being used in
dry ambient conditions and must not be used for three-
phase mains with a nominal voltage higher than 690 V
AC (also see section 9 „T

ual and on the TRITEST

indicator
The phase-sequence indicator TRITEST
®
control is
equipped with two integrated voltage divider systems
with star connection. One of the systems indicates the
phase LED (indication of the phase voltages L1
9
, L2
7
, L3
5
). The other system (combined resistance and
capacitor) ensures the phase-sequence indication by
means of two LEDs
8
and
6
. The capacitor (reac-
tive impedance) and the resistances (active resistance)
build up a phase shift and is almost in phase with a ro-
tary field (travelling wave). The respective LED (clock-
wise
8
or anti-clockwise
6
phase sequence) gets the
higher voltage and is activated.
Note:
The phase sequence can be tested even with the bat-
teries being removed or empty
5. Battery installation/ battery indication
Before opening the housing cover
4
, separate the
test handles A , B and C from all voltage sources and
measuring circuits.
The battery compartment is behind the housing cover
4
at the back of the device. There are apertures on
the sides of the device to release the cover
purpose, use a 5.5
of which you can move the cover over the holding
notch with a rotary movement. Thus, the cover can be
removed.
Please ensure correct polarity when inserting the bat-
teries (see battery symbol)!
When closing the housing, make sure that the cover
locks into place correctly and that there is no gap on
the side of the housing.
In case of low battery voltage, the pocket lamp cannot
be operated. Please replace the batteries!
6. How to test the phase sequence
Contact the connecting cables (test cables) L1, L2, L3
with the mains to be tested. If necessary
tips A , B and C and the alligator clip
J
.
The phase voltages are indicated by means of the
LEDs L1
9
, L2
7
und L3
5
.
Depending on the connection, the LED for “clockwise
phase sequence”
8
or for „anti-clockwise phase se-
quence”
6
is activated. Please observe for each
testing that all of the three phase voltages have to be
present to obtain a correct indication!
7. Pocket lamp function
The LED lamp
2
can be switched on via the sliding
switch
3
integrated into the side of the device. The
pocket lamp function can be operated independently of
the phase-sequence indicator system.

9. Maintenance
For cleaning the device, use a cloth which is moistened
with a mild cleaning agent. If there is electrolyte con-
tamination or white deposit near the battery ort he bat-
tery compartment, remove them with a dry cloth.
Remove the batteries from the device when not using it
for a longer period of time!
If the LED lamp
2
does not work any longer or be-
comes weak, replace the batteries by new ones of the
same type.
10. Environmental notice
At the end of the product’s useful life, please
dispose of it at appropriate collection points
provided in your country
