whilesafetyline. The White Rubber Corporation Operating Instructions PD80OW Cordless Phasing Tester Bierer Patent No. 6,617,840 B2 and 6,734,658. Other patents pending. CAUTION The equipment covered in these operating instructions should be used by qualified employees, trained in and familiar with the safety-related work practices, safety rules and other safety requirements associated with the use of this type of equipment. These instructions are not intended as a substitute for adequate training, nor do they cover all details or situations which could be encountered in relation to the operation of this type of equipment. WARNING Use appropriate length live line tool for voltage being worked and maintain minimum approach distances as outlined in OSHA 1910.269,Table R-6. Do not let live line tool fittings become grounded in any way. This may damage the equipment Meter housing shall be considerednon-insulating.Meter should NOT be used as an insulating tool. The high voltage probe assemblies shall be wiped clean prior to each use with a silicone impregnated cloth and kept clean and free of contaminates to prevent tracking on the outside of the probe, which could affectthe accuracy of the meter and/or failure; resulting in personal injury and/or equipment damage. NOTICE Before operating this equipment, read, understand and follow all instructions contained in this manual. Keep instructions with equipment. CONTENTS Design and Function1 Set-Up Testing and Inspection 2 Battery Replacement 2 Phase Angle Measurments Direct Contact from240Vto69kV Including Capaciltive Test Points3 Delta/Wye Measurements3 Phase Angle Measurements Non -Contact from69kVto800kV 4 Testing Phase Sequence5 Voltage Indications URD and Overhead Direct Contact from4kVto69kV 6 Reference Probe as Voltage Detector Direct Contact Non-Contact 7 FCC Compliance Information Statement8 Parts & Accessories9 DESIGN AND FUNCTION The cordless PD80OW is designed to operate similar to a conventional phasing tester, but is easier to use because it does not require an interconnect cable. The unit consists of a Reference Probe (transmitter) and a Meter Probe (receiver) and will operate reliably at distances up to 70 feet. The phasing tester is useable from 240V to 8OOkV. Each unit has a five-position switch for the following functions: • Off– Unit off for storage or transport. • Deg- Phase angle measurement in degrees for use on Secondary, URD and Overhead. Direct contact from 240V to 69kV(including capacitive test points). Non-contact from 69kV to 800kV (without the use of extension resistors). • URD– Phasing Underground Residential Distribution with Voltage Indications. Direct contact from 4kV to 35kV(not for capacitive test points). • OH– Phasing Over-Head conductors with voltage indications Direct contact from 4kV to 69kV. • T– Tests basic meter function and displays the internal 9V battery voltage. Voltage indications and degree readings are supplemented with phase indicator lights on the Meter Probe for dual confirmation of the phase relationship between the Reference Probe and Meter probe. • White - • Blue - • Red indicates an in-phase condition. indicates out-of -phase condition of 120 degrees. indicates an out-of-phase condition of 240 degrees. • Yellow ''DY''-blinking light indicates a Delta/Wye transformation (30 degree phase shift) in conjunction with one of the other three phase indicator lights. Note 1:For best results, always hold the Reference Probe and Meter Probe perpendicular to the conductors being tested and away from all other conductive surfaces such as adjacent phases, neutrals and grounded structures. Maintain a minimum distance of two feet between the body of the probes and all other conductors or grounded surfaces. Maintain a minimum distance of two feet between yourhands and the body of the probe regardless of the voltage being tested. Never hold the tester with rubber gloves when in use. Note 2:When phasing on URD transformer bushings use 8128TBALB Bushing Adapters on both the Reference and the Meter Probe. 1 SET UP- TESTING and INSPECTION Testing the Meter Probe: The Meter Probe completes a self check each time the selector switch is moved from one position to another. It displays the number 510 +/- 5 (full scale) and blinks 0, 120, 240 phase sequence indicator lights followed by a blinking DY (Delta/ Wye Transformation) indicator light. Test: The internal 9V battery voltage may be checked by turning the rotary selector switch to the T position and holding for several seconds until the indicator lights stop blinking. If the battery voltage displayed is less than 8 volts, shown on the meter as 80, the battery should be replaced. A standard 9 volt battery is located behindthe live line tool attachment. Testing the Reference Probe: Turn theMeter Probe selector switchto the URD or OH position. The results of the Reference Probe self checks will be displayed on theMeter Probe.Each time the selector switch on the Reference Probe is moved from one position to another, the number 51 0 will be displayed on theMeter Probefor several seconds. Test: The internal 9V battery is checked by turning the selector switch to the T position and holding for several seconds. The internal battery voltage of the reference will be displayed on the Meter Probe. If the battery voltage displayed on the Meter Probe is less than 8V, shown on meter as 80, the battery should be replaced. A standard 9 volt batteryis located behind the live line tool attachment. Physical Inspection: Both the Reference Probe and Meter Probe should be clean and free of dirt, grease and other contaminants. The unit should not be used if any portion of either the Meter Probe or the Reference Probe is cracked or damaged in any way. Battery Replacement A standard 9 volt battery is located behind the 5/8" x 1 1 " threaded live line tool fitting on the probe housing. Two flat edges are furnished for use with a wrench or slip joint pliers to remove and install the fitting…

The test report is based on testing performed by Compatible Electronics personnel according to the measurement procedures described in the test specifications given below and in the "Test Procedures" section of this report. The measurement data and conclusions appearing herein relate only to the sample tested and this report may not be reproduced without the written permission of Compatible Electronics, unless done so in full. This report must not be used to claim product endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any other agency of the U.S. Government. Device Tested: Cordless Phasing Tester Model: PD800W S/N: N/A Product Description: See Expository Statement Modifications: The EUT was not modified in order to meet the specifications. Manufacturer: Bierer & Associates, Inc. 183 Wilson Boulevard Blythewood, SC 29016 Test Date: April 19, 2006 Test Specifications : EMI requirements CFR Title 47, Part 15 Subpart B; and Subpart C, Sections 15.205, 15.209 and 15.249 Test Procedure: ANSI C63.4 Test Deviations: The test procedure was not deviated from during the testing. SUMMARY OF TEST RESULTS TEST DESCRIPTION RESULTS 1 Conducted RF Emissions, 150 kHz - 30 MHz This test was not performed because the EUT operates on DC power only and cannot be plugged into the AC public mains. 2 Radiated RF Emissions, 10 kHz - 9200 MHz (Transmitter Portion) Complies with the limits of CFR Title 47, Part 15, Subpart C, sections 15.205, 15.209, and 15.249. 3 Radiated RF Emissions, 30 MHz - 1000 MHz (Digital Portion) Complies with the Class A limits of CFR Title 47, Part 15, Subpart B.
