3.1 Komponén
- Tester Unit: The main body of the device, housing the indicators.
- Uji Lead: Three permanently attached leads (typically blue, red, black) with 4 mm spring-loaded plugs.
- Indikator LED: Lights on the front panel to show phase presence (L1, L2, L3) and rotary field direction (clockwise/counter-clockwise).

4. Setélan
The VOLTCRAFT VC-32 is a passive device and does not require batteries for operation. It draws power directly from the circuit being tested.
4.1 Nyambungkeun Test Leads
- Ensure the circuit to be tested is within the device's specified voltage range (CAT III 400 V).
- Carefully connect the three test leads to the respective phases (L1, L2, L3) of the three-phase electrical network. The leads are typically color-coded for easier identification, though specific phase assignments should always be verified according to local standards.
- Ensure that the spring-loaded plugs make firm and reliable contact with the terminals.
5. Parentah Operasi
Once the test leads are securely connected to the three-phase circuit, the VC-32 will automatically begin its measurement.

5.1 Napsirkeun Hasil
- Phase Presence: The LEDs labeled L1, L2, and L3 will illuminate if the corresponding phases are present and within the operational voltage range. If an LED does not light up, it indicates a missing or insufficient voltage dina fase éta.
- Rotary Field Direction: The device features two additional LEDs, typically indicating clockwise (right arrow) or counter-clockwise (left arrow) rotation. Only one of these LEDs should illuminate to indicate the detected phase sequence.
- Rotasi anu leres: If the desired rotation direction LED illuminates, the phase sequence is correct.
- Rotasi anu salah: If the undesired rotation direction LED illuminates, the phase sequence is incorrect. To correct this, swap any two of the phase connections (e.g., L1 and L2) at the source or load, then re-test.
6. Pangropéa
The VOLTCRAFT VC-32 Rotary Field Tester requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and accuracy.
- beberesih: Clean the device and test leads with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the device.
- Panyimpenan: Store the tester in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the protective caps on the test probes when not in use.
- Pamariksaan: Regularly inspect the test leads and the device casing for any physical damage, cuts, or cracks. Damaged equipment must be taken out of service immediately and repaired by qualified personnel or replaced.
7. Cara ngungkulan
If you encounter issues with your VC-32 Rotary Field Tester, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Masalah | Mungkin Cukang lantaranana | Solusi |
|---|---|---|
| No LEDs illuminate. | Henteu voltage present on any phase, or poor connection. | Verify the power supply to the circuit. Check all test lead connections for secure contact. |
| Only one or two phase LEDs (L1, L2, L3) illuminate. | Missing phase(s) or insufficient voltage on specific phase(s). | Check the integrity of the circuit and the power supply for the non-illuminated phases. Ensure test leads are correctly connected. |
| No rotary field direction LED illuminates, but phase LEDs are on. | Unstable phase conditions or specific fault. | Re-check all connections. If the problem persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
