Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Model 408403
Motor and Phase Rotation Indicator. This handheld instrument
detects the rotational field of three-phase systems and determines
motor-rotation direction. Color-coded test leads are provided for
connecting to the system or motor under test. This meter is shipped
fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years
of reliable service.

ƒ
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed
metal. Check test lead continuity. Damaged leads must be
replaced. Do not use the meter if it appears damaged.
ƒ
Use care when working above 30V ac rms, 42V ac peak and
60V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
ƒ
When using the probes, keep fingers away from probe
contacts. Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
ƒ
Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of
additional operating circuits connected in parallel or by
transient currents.
ƒ
Verify operation prior to measuring hazardous voltages
(voltages above 30V ac rms, 42V ac peak and 60V dc).
ƒ
Do not use the meter with any of the parts removed.
ƒ
Do not use the meter near explosive gas, vapor, or dust.
ƒ
Do not use the meter in a wet environment.

Operation
Determine Phase Rotation Direction
1. Connect the supplied color-coded test leads to the meter’s test lead
input jacks at the top of the meter.
2. Connect the test probes to the three mains phases for the system
under test.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the meter on.
4. L1, L2, and L3 indicators will illuminate for each phase connected,
respectively.
5. The clockwise and counter-clockwise arrows with the left/right ‘L’ or
‘R’ icons display the phase rotation direction (phase sequence) of
mains as connected.
6. To understand the status of a test, based on the condition of the
meter’s front panel LEDs , refer to the table printed on the meter:
Note: The rotational indicator LEDs illuminate even if one of the test
probes is connected to a neutral or ground conductor instead of one
of the mains phases.

Check Motor Turn Direction (contact method)
1. Connect the supplied color-coded test leads to the meter’s test
lead input jacks at the top of the meter.
2. Connect the test (alligator) probes to the three motor connections
(L1 to U, L2 to V, and L3 to W).
3. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the
instrument is ready for testing.
4. Turn the motor shaft half of a revolution towards the right.
5. The clockwise and counter-clockwise arrows with the left/right ‘L’
or ‘R’ icons display the orientation of the motor.
Check Motor Turn Direction (non-contact method)
1. Disconnect the test leads from the meter and from any other
devices under test.
2. Hold the meter close (one
inch or closer) to the motor,
parallel to the length of the
motor shaft.
3. The bottom of the meter
should face the drive shaft
and the back of the meter
should be flush with the motor
(refer to diagram at right).
Note: There is an orientation
symbol on the meter to assist.
4. Press the ON/OFF button. The green ON indicator shows that the
instrument is ready for testing.
5. The orientation of the motor is represented by the clockwise and
counter-clockwise arrows with the left/right ‘L’ or ‘R’ icons display.
Face the rear of the motor (meter will appear upside down) when
reading the status of the display LEDs.
Note: The meter will not operate with motors controlled by
frequency converters.

Magnetic Field Detection
1. Hold the meter in the area under test.
2. A magnetic field is present if either the clockwise or the counterclockwise LED illuminates.
Battery replacement
The meter uses a 9V battery (supplied) as a power source. If the green
LED does not light when the ON/OFF button is pressed, replace the
battery.
1.
Place the meter on a clean, flat, non-abrasive surface.
2.
Loosen the rear bottom Phillips head screw to access the
battery compartment.
3.
Lift the battery access door and replace the 9V battery observing
polarity.
4.
Place the battery carefully in the compartment without crimping
the black and red battery connecting wire.
5.
Close the access door and secure the screw.
