Using the Universal Zebra
We know most Techs won’t (or don’t want to) study a thick
manual for each of their tools. So, this mini-manual is NOT a
complete tutorial on how to use the Universal Zebra System.
Visit our website at: www.UniversalZebra.com, to watch short
training videos on the UZ-1 and all available accessories.
Basic tool use involves: •Selecting the correct adapter for
the motor being tested. •Plugging the adapter into the mo-
tor. •Plugging the adapter into the UZ-1’s harness. •Placing
the correct magnetic overlay in the UZ-1’s lid (reading any
motor-specific instructions there.) •Providing 24VAC power
to the UZ-1 through the alligator leads (note that certain
motors
require you to attach the Black clip to 24V COM-
MON, and the Red clip to 24V HOT.) •Using some or all of
the six available switch selections and LED indicators to
test your motor in various conditions. (Most motors won’t
have all six available speeds to test. Some, because they
use serial data streams, can only be operated in one speed
with this type of tool.) •A PWM adapter is also available to
run those type motors from 0 to 100% of their rated speed.
Bench testing can now be performed on ECM Motors!
Power harnesses with the special motor plugs required
are now available; see www.UniversalZebra.com
