Limitation of Warranty and Liability

Bierer & Associates Inc. warrants this product to be free from defects in

workmanship and material, under normal use and service conditions for a

period of one year from date of shipment.

Due to continuous product improvement and development, Bierer &

Associates Inc. reserves the right to modify product designs and

specifications without notice.

It is impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of high

voltage electrical devices including this device. Risks of serious injury or

death are inherent in working around energized electrical systems. Such

risks include but are not limited to variations of electrical systems and

equipment, manner of use or applications, weather and environmental

conditions, operator mentality, and other unknown factors that are beyond

the control of Bierer & Associates Inc.

Bierer & Associates Inc. do not express or imply to be an insurer of these

risks, and by purchasing or using this product you AGREE TO ACCEPT

THESE RISKS. IN NO EVENT SHALL Bierer & Associates Inc. BE

LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL

DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OR HANDLING OF THIS

PRODUCT.

SAFETY MESSAGE DEFINITIONS per ANSI Z535

These instructions contain important safety messages to alert the user to

potentially hazardous situations, how to avoid the hazard, and the

consequences of failure to follow the instruction.

The safety alert symbol identifies a safety message. The signal

word following the symbol indicates:

DANGER A hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result

in death or serious injury and equipment damage.

WARNING A hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in death or serious injury and equipment damage.

CAUTION A hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in minor or moderate injury and equipment damage.

NOTICE Important safety message relating to equipment damage

only.

PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

1. Meter assembly, interconnect cable assembly, and live line tool

adapters shall be considered non-insulating. Do not let live line

tool fittings come in contact with energized or grounded

conductors. The live line tool adapters, fittings, and handles

supplied with meters shall not be used on any other devices.

2. Use appropriate length live line tools for voltage being worked

and maintain minimum approach distances as outlined in OSHA

1910.269, Table R-6.

3. All Phasing Meters and Voltage Detectors manufactured during

and after 2007 will have a limit mark engraved on the high

voltage probe(s) 2.5 inches from the tip to indicate to the user

the physical limit that should not be exceeded when

approaching and contacting an electrical conductor or other

electrical test points. Zero Ohm insulated adapters (81280IE)

should be used if limit mark will be exceeded.

4. This equipment should be used only 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.

5. These instructions are not intended as a substitute for adequate

training, nor do they cover all details or situations which could

be encountered when operating this type of equipment.

6. Before operating this equipment, read, understand and follow all

instructions contained in this manual. Keep instructions with

equipment.

INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE BEFORE USE

WARNING

1. Prior to using any high voltage test equipment a careful

inspection should be made to ensure the unit is free from any

contaminants such as dirt, grease, etc. and that there are no

apparent physical damages.

2. High voltage probe assemblies shall be wiped clean prior to

each use with a silicone impregnated cloth and kept clean and

free of contaminants. This will prevent tracking on the outside

of the probe and meter error.

3. Always confirm internal battery voltage before and after each

use.

The Voltage Detector and Phasing Tester:

WARNING

see “Product Safety Information”, page 3.

see “Inspection & Maintenance”, page 3.

1. For voltage sensing and phasing on overhead and underground sys-

tems.

2. For voltage sensing and phasing at capacitive test points.

3. Five-position switch selects function:

C voltage sensing on capacitive test points

CP phasing between capacitive test points

L voltage sensing on overhead and underground systems

LP phasing on overhead and underground systems

BT internal battery test.

4. Bushing and elbow adapters for URD use.

5. Adapters are available for use with live line tools:

Q Quick Change –Standard on both probes

UGA Universal/Grip All Combination –Adapters for use with

hotsticks or shotgun sticks. PN: PA165UGA

6. Available in two models: 300 V to 25 kV and 300 V to 35 kV.

7. A second probe and series lead is furnished for use when phasing or

measuring line-to-line or line-to-ground voltages.

8. The carrying case incorporates a 3 kV test device for testing the

instrument for correct operation before and after each use

BATTERY TEST

The battery test tells the operator whether the meter probe’s internal

battery is fully charged.

Turn the selector switch on the back

of the meter to position BT (Battery

Test) and hold to the right. The

meter should show a full scale

deflection. If there is less than full

deflection, the meter probe battery

should be changed.

(If the battery test fails, you can

replace the 9 volt battery located

behind the attachment point for the

hot stick located on the main meter

face.)

WARNING –Battery Test

-see “Inspection and Maintenance”, item 3, page 3.

SENSING ON CAPACITIVE TEST POINTS

Turn the Selector switch to position

C (Capacitive Sensing).

Fasten the meter probe to appropriate

live line tool.

Turn on the test device.

To test the meter probe on the test

device (provided in the carrying case),

depress the button on the test device

with the meter probe end. The meter

should show a half scale deflection

minimum.

6. Retest meter on test device to confirm

that it is working.

WARNING

see “Product Safety Information”, page 3.

see “Inspection & Maintenance”, page 3.

5. Test the meter probe on the

Capacitve point.

No meter deflection indicates

de-energized source.

Any meter deflection indicates

voltage present.

PHASING ON CAPACITIVE TEST POINTS

Turn the Selector switch to position

C (Capacitive Phasing).

Connect the meter probe to the

second probe with the interconnect

cable.

Turn on the test device.

To test the meter probe on the test

device provided, depress the

button of the test device with the

meter probe and place the second

probe end on the other terminal.

The meter should show a

reading of at least 2.5kV. If not,

check all batteries or send for

repair.

While depressing the button with the meter

probe, have the second probe make contact

with the meter probe end. The meter probe

should show a near or zero reading.

Place the meter probe end to a

capacitive test point.

Have the second probe make contact with

the meter probe end on the capacitive test

point. The test point meter probe should

show a Zero reading.

Leave the meter probe on the capacitive test

point to the first elbow and contact the second

probe on another capacitive test point. In

Phase is represented by no meter reading or

deflection. Out of Phase is represented by a

meter reading or deflection.
