Disposal
Dear Testboy customer: purchasing our product gives you the option of returning the instrument to suitable collection points for waste electrical equipment at the end of its lifespan
The WEEE directive regulates the return and recycling of electrical appliances. Manufacturers of electrical appliances are obliged to take back and recycle all electrical appliances free of charge. Electrical devices may then no longer be disposed of through conventional waste disposal channels. Electrical appliances must be recycled and disposed of separately. All equipment subject to this directive is marked with this logo.
Disposal of used batteries
As an end user, you are legally obliged (battery law) to return all used
batteries; disposal with normal domestic waste is prohibited!
Batteries containing contaminant material are labelled with adjacent symbols
indicating the prohibition of disposal with normal domestic waste.
The abbreviations used for the respective heavy metals are:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead.
You can return your used batteries free of charge to collection points in your
community or anywhere where batteries are sold!
Certificate of quality
All activities and processes carried out within Testboy GmbH relating to

Product description
The non-contact rotating field and rotary tester TV 411 indicates the
direction of rotation in relation to the phase sequence of the external
conductor and is particularly suitable for service tasks in engine
installations.
Non-contact measurement with the coloured insulated terminals accelerates the
service application and minimizes the risk of contacting energized
electrically active conductors.
The integrated rotary tester can also be used to determine the direction of
rotation of an engine shaft with no contact.
Instrument description
- Phase indicator
- Rotation direction indicator
- Standby indicator
Switching on the instrument
To switch on the instrument, briefly press the ON button. The standby LED (3) stays lit once the instrument is switched on.
Phase test
- The status LEDs (1) light up when an AC voltage between 70 and 600 V is detected at the respective connection A, B or C.
- In some circumstances these light up when the test terminals are close to live conductors or electrostatically charged parts.
- This is not an instrument defect, but is due to the non-contact measurement procedure
Phase sequence testing
To test the direction of the rotating field (right or left) in relation to the
phase sequence L1, L2 and L3, connect the non-contact terminals in the
sequence red, yellow and green (A, B and C) to the respective external
conductors.
The terminals can be connected directly via the insulated single conductors,
with no need for any electrical contact with the connection cable. The arrow ”
▼” on the terminal should be located above the centre of the conductor.
The direction of the rotating field is indicated via the LEDs of the rotation
direction indicator (2):
L= left rotating field R= right rotating field
Rotary test
- To test the direction of rotation of an invisible engine shaft (e.g. in pumps or flange-mounted gearboxes), hold the Testboy® TV 411 directly on the housing of the electric motor.
- Ensure that the output shaft is aligned with the symbol stylized to resemble the tester.
- While the engine is running, the LEDs of the rotation direction indicator (2) now indicate the direction of rotation of the engine shaft.
Switching off the instrument
To switch off the instrument, briefly press the OFF button. The standby LED (3) goes out when the tester is switched off.
Maintenance and cleaning
To prevent electric shocks, do not allow moisture to ingress the housing.
Use a dry cloth, without cleaning agent, to clean the housing at regular
intervals. Do not use any abrasive or scouring agents, or solvents.
Replacing the battery
- To open the battery compartment on the bottom of the instrument, undo the Phillips screw with a Phillips screwdriver size 1. The lid can now be opened and the AA batteries replaced.
- If the instrument is not going to be used for a long period of time, the batteries should be removed and the tester kept in an environment that is not too humid or too hot.
- Do not leave any spent batteries in the measurement instrument, because even leak-proof batteries can corrode and, as a result, release chemicals that could damage your health and destroy the instrument
Batteries must not be disposed of with normal domestic waste. There will be a collection point near you!
