GSafety Warnings

Before commencing any testing, short the prods

together to check the batteries.

The TPT320 is designed to offer a high

degree of safety. It conforms to standards

DIN VDE 0682-401 and IEC/EN 61243-3.

To ensure that the unit is operated safely,

please read the following instructions

before using the device.

■Do not use the instrument in a humid

environment.

■Before testing a live circuit the voltage tester

should be checked by connecting to a

known voltage source (e.g. a suitable 120

/ 230 V outlet or a suitable proving unit)

before and after use.

■Tests for voltage should be made with both

poles.

■Extreme care must be conducted when

testing voltages above 50 V AC / 120 V DC.

■Ensure the tester is only used within the

stated measurement ranges and in low

voltage installations up to 690 V and in the

measuring category it has been designed for.

■When testing ensure hands are behind the

barriers on the main body and remote probe.

Avoid touching the tips.

■The instrument must be in good order, clean,

dry and with no broken case or damaged

lead or probes.

■Do not use the unit with battery cap

removed and ensure when changing the

batteries no probe is connected to any

circuits.

■Do not use the instrument if one or more

functions are not working correctly.

■The voltage warning triangle FLED

will illuminate to indicate voltage is present at

the tips in the event of exhausted batteries

while testing. This must not be used for

measuring purposes.

■The audible indication should be considered

for audibility in noisy environments.

■Remove the batteries if the tester is not to be

used for a long period of time.

■The voltage tester must not be used with

exhausted or leaked batteries. Danger of

electric shock!

General point: Voltage tests have priority on the

TPT320. If no voltage is detected at the probe tip

(<10 V), the device is in continuous test mode.

Introduction

The Megger TPT320 voltage tester provides

electricians and electrical engineers with voltage

indication but has additional functions / features

that makes the instrument more versatile.

The TPT320 features both LCD and LED displays

that provide AC and DC voltage measurement

from 12 to 690 volts, in addition, a continuity

function ranging from 0 to 500 kW. Continuity

and voltage measurements are accompanied by

an acoustic sounder.

A bright LED torch feature allows safe working in

poorly lit environments.

When conducting a test between phase and

earth on a circuit protected by an RCD, RCBO

and Safety Breaker the TPT320 will not trip

these devices.

The phase rotation indication feature is simpliﬁed

which avoids the crossing of the test probes

adopted by some 2 pole testers.

With safety in mind, the TPT320 is CAT IV 600

V rated with an IP64 rated strong body that

provides an easy and comfortable grip. GS38

shrouds are provided as standard.

The unit has a feature that will warn the operator

of dangerous test voltages even when the

batteries have become exhausted.

Please note: To comply with GS38 (minimum

exposed tip) the metal caps on each prod must

be unscrewed and replaced with the supplied

plastic tip shrouds.

Operating instructions

Auto-power-on / switching on

The tester switches on when it detects continuity,

an AC or DC voltage above approx. 10 V or a

live phase on L2 (single pole test). It can also be

switched on with the torch light button.

Auto-power off

Tester is automatically powered off after 5 sec

when there is no signal detected by the probes.

The torch light switches off after approx. 10 sec.

Self test

Before commencing any measurements with

the TPT320 a self test should be made. Short

the probes tips together; the continuity LED will

illuminate and a continuous audible tone will be

heard. This procedure checks the batteries have

sufﬁcient power to operate the voltage tester

correctly.

CAUTION: This test does not indicate the tester

is capable of indicating correct supply voltage;

a known live supply or a dedicated proving unit

should be utilised to check the voltage measuring

capability of the unit before and after testing.

If only the voltage warning LED illuminates

(>50 VAC / >120 VDC) and the LCD display is

blank then check the batteries.

(This feature must not be used as a means

of continuing voltage indications.)

If the low battery indicator appears in the LCD

window then change the batteries.

Continuity test

Ensure the circuit under test is not energised.

Connect both test probes to the circuit. The

continuity LED illuminates and buzzer sounds

continuously to indicate continuity < 500 kW.

Note: No continuity measurement is available on

the LCD display.

Diode test

Connect the L1 - probe to the anode of the

diode and the L2 + probe to the cathode. The

continuity LED will illuminate and the buzzer

will sound. Reversing the connections, the

continuity LED will not illuminate and no sound

will be present.

AC/DC Voltage test

Connect both probes to the circuit under

test. The voltage is indicated by LEDs and

the LCD display.

The buzzer sounds when a threshold voltage of

approximately 38 VAC or approximately 100 VDC

is exceeded.

Voltage polarity is indicated in following

manner.

AC: Both + and – 12 V LEDs are on.

+DC: +12 V LED is on.

-DC: -12 V LED is on.

When the L2 probe + is the positive (negative)

potential, the Polarity indication LED indicates

“+DC” (“-DC”).

During a voltage test, L or R LEDs may illuminate.

For voltages over 690 V the LCD will display ‘OL’.

Single-pole phase test

Hold the tester securely in your hand. Connect

the “L2 +” probe to the object under test.

Voltage warning LED lights up and buzzer sounds

when a voltage of approximately 100 V AC or

more exists in the object under test.

(Pol≥100 VAC).

Function of this test may not be fully achieved if the

insulation condition / grounding conditions of user or

of the equipment under test are not good enough.

Note: Veriﬁcation of live-circuits should not be

dependent on a Single-pole phase test only.

Phase rotation test

L LED and R LED’s for the Phase rotation test

may operate on various wiring systems, but an

effective test result can only be obtained on

three-phase 4-wire systems.

Hold the tester and remote probe ﬁrmly in each

hand, ensuring hands are behind the hand

barriers, and connect both probes to the object

under test. Phase-to-phase voltage is indicated by

voltage LEDs and LCD display.

R LED lights up for Right rotary ﬁeld. (L1, L2, L3)

L LED lights up for Left rotary ﬁeld. (L1, L3, L2)

Measurement principle: The instrument detects

the phase rising order referencing the user as

earth. The function of this test may not be fully

achieved if the insulation condition/ grounding

conditions of user or of the equipment under

test are not good enough.

Torch light

Pressing the torch light button will turn on

the light and after approximately 10s it will

turn itself off.

Battery Replacement

Remove the probes from any testing point, when

opening the battery cap. Batteries are exhausted

when the continuity test with both test probes

connected cannot be achieved anymore. A

battery symbol + 1.5 V AAA - in the LCD display

indicates low battery.

Follow the procedure below and replace batteries

with new ones (type AAA / IEC LR03 1.5 V).

Unscrew the battery cap, e.g. with a screwdriver.

Pull out the battery cap and replace the batteries.

Insert new batteries according to the engraving

on the battery cap and re-assemble battery cap.

Conﬁrm that the battery cap is properly locked

prior to measurements.
