Do not withhold the trigger and do not clamp any wires when turning on the meter After the power is turned on normally, the "OL Ω" symbol is displayed, and the measured object can be clamped. Do not place and store the instrument for a long period of time ...
Because of the reason of this instrument, if it is dangerous to continue using it, it should be immediately stopped and sealed immediately, and it should be handled by a qualified organization. The " " safety warning sign in the instrument and manual ...

the symbol shows. At this point, trigger may be artificially pressed, or the jaws have been seriously polluted, and can no longer continue to measure. ⑵. “Er” Boot-strap error symbol, May be pressing trigger or jaw has been opened when the power is turn on. Symbol of low battery voltage: when the battery voltage ⑶.
VIII. Measuring Principle The basic principle of the ground resistance measurement of the clamp-type grounding resistance meter is to measure the loop resistance. See below. The jaw section of the clamp meter consists of a voltage coil and a current coil. The voltage coil provides the excitation signal and induces a potential V on the circuit under test.
Before booting up, the trigger should be pressed for a couple of times to ensure the jaws are well closed. Boot, must maintain clamp meter natural resting state, don’t flip Clamp, don’t be imposed outside force on the jaw, otherwise can not guarantee the accuracy of measurement Press the power button to switch on and off.
3. Resistance Test When the user thinks that the grounded value does not conform to the normal, you can use a random calibration ring to check whether the clamp meter is normal. The check ring has two resistances of 1Ω and 10Ω. After the power-on self test is completed, the large middle digit shows “OLΩ”...
Resistance + clock mode: The circuit of the measured resistance exceeds the lower limit, The number of save groups is 8 and the current time is 12:08 4.Clock Settings After power on, long press the "SET" button (more than 3 seconds) to enter the clock setting mode.
6.Date Lock After the measurement is stable after power on, short press “HOLD” key to lock the current display data, save the data, and press “HOLD” key again to exit lock mode. As shown below: 7.Data Storage / Review / Delete When the measurement is completed after power on, short press "HOLD"...
In the data review state, long press the "SET" button, then press the "POWER" button to delete the stored data Ⅹ. Battery Instructions When the voltage drops to 5.2V, the battery symbol " " is displayed. Please replace the battery. Low battery voltage affects measurement accuracy.

Where: R is the target grounding resistance. is the equivalent resistance of the other entire tower grounding resistances paralleled. Although strictly on the theoretical grounding, because of the existence of so-called "mutual resistance”, R is not the usual parallel value in the sense of electrical engineering (slightly higher than its IEC parallel output value).
Page 19
the grounding resistance paralleled is calculated by the usual sense. Thus, for the grounding system of N (N is smaller, but larger than 2) grounding bodies, it can offer N equations: .. .....

solutions. In principle, in addition to ignoring the mutual resistance, this method does not have the measurement error caused by neglecting R However, users need to pay attention to that: in response to the number of the grounding bodies mutually linked in your grounding system, it is necessary to measure the same number of the testing values for calculating of the program, not more or less.

As the resistance value measured by the Meter is the value of the series resistance from the testing line and two grounding resistances. Where: R is the resistance value measured with the Meter. is the resistance value of the testing line. Meter can measure out the resistance value by connecting the test lines with both ends.

Second, have R and R linked up, as shown in the following figure. Use the Meter to get the second reading R Third, have R and R linked up, as shown in the following figure. Use the Meter to get the third reading R In the above three steps, the reading measured in each step is the value of the two series grounding resistance.
As the reference points, the grounding resistance values of the other two grounding bodies are: RB=R1-RA RC=R3-RA ⅪI. Accessories Earth Tester Battery 5th alkaline battery 4PCS Test Loop Monitor software CD (FR2000C+) USB line(FR2000C+) User’s Manual 1SET Carrying Case...
