Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Extech Meter. The PRT200 is used to quickly and
accurately determine three phase sequence for motor installation and repair. The non-contact
voltage detecting technique permits easy connection to insulated conductors, avoiding uncertain
and difficult connections to bare high voltage wires. This meter is shipped fully tested and
calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
