Verify that the display reading is within specification, see
Table 4.
If the reading is not within specification, clean the
•
heads of the Jaw and repeat step 1 and step 2.
•
If the reading is within specification, remove the Jaw
from the Standard Loop Resistance. The Clamp is
ready for a ground resistance measurement.

Open the jaw and make sure the jaw is free of dust, dirt, or
any foreign substances.
Turn on the Clamp.
Push to select the Ω function.
Attach the Clamp to the electrode or ground rod to be
measured.
