2.1 Description

The Clamp-on Ground Resistance Tester Model 6416 measures grounding
electrodes and grid resistance without the use of auxiliary rods. Clamp-on ground
resistance testers can be used in multi-grounded systems without disconnecting
the ground system under test. The Model 6416 simply clamps around the
ground conductor or rod and measures the resistance to ground. By performing
measurements on intact ground systems, the user also verifies the quality of the
grounding connections and bonds. Resistance and continuity of grounding loops
around pads and buildings can also be measured.
The Model 6416 includes a current measurement function. The ground tester's
high sensitivity enables measurement of leakage current flowing to ground or
circulating in ground loops from 0.2mA to 40A and resistances from 0.01 to
1500W.
Battery life information is displayed at power-up and the Auto Power OFF feature
can be enabled for power management. Additional features include the large
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display that ensures high readability of
data. The Buzzer and Auto Power OFF features can be disabled at any time.
The Model 6416 is equipped with an alarm function and data storage function. In
the Alarm mode, the probe will audibly and visually indicate when the reading is
beyond an input set point. You can also have the alarm activate above or below
the set point. This alarm feature permits quick field checks where only "pass" or
"fail" readings are required.
The data storage function logs up to 300 measurements (W and/or A). This
enables you to conduct field surveys, and to retrieve and analyze the readings
at a later time. The alarm settings and stored data are saved when the ground
tester is turned OFF.
Two new features unique to AEMC are test frequency selection and touch
®
voltage indication.
The ability to select the test frequency provides more accurate measurements in
inductive environments.
Displaying voltage derived from current and resistance measurements provides
an extra level of safety for the user, indicating a potentially dangerous touch
condition.
