explosion. ♦When the machine is turned on, do not hold the trigger or clamp any wires. ♦The object to be measured can only be clamped after the “OL Ω” symbol is displayed after it is turned on normally. ♦ Do not place and store the meter for a long time in places with high temperature and humidity, condensation and direct sunlight.
environment specified by this instrument. ♦The current of the measuring lead should not exceed the upper limit of the clamp meter. ♦The use, disassembly, calibration and maintenance of this instrument must be operated by authorized personnel. ♦Due to the reasons of this instrument, if it is dangerous to continue using it, you should stop using it immediately and seal it up immediately.

⑵.“Er” is the error symbol when starting up, it is possible that the trigger was pressed or the jaws were opened when starting up. Low battery voltage symbol, when the battery ⑶. voltage is lower than 5.0V, this symbol displays, the measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed at this time, and the battery should be replaced.
large interference current, this symbol flashes and displays, and the instrument emits a "beep-beep-beep--" prompt sound. The accuracy of the test cannot be guaranteed at this time. VIII. Principle of Resistance Measurement The basic principle of the clamp-type grounding resistance tester to measure the grounding resistance is to measure the loop resistance.
IX.Operation 1. Switch Machine When starting up, do not depress the trigger, open the jaws, or clamp any wires. After the boot is completed and "OL Ω" is displayed, the trigger can be pulled, the jaws are opened, and the conductor under test can be clamped. Before starting the machine, squeeze the trigger once or twice to make sure the jaws are well closed.
Before the automatic shutdown, the meter will flash for 30 seconds. Pressing the power button again will delay the on-off time for 5 minutes. 2.Battery Voltage Check After power on, if the LCD displays the low battery voltage symbol “ ”, it means the battery is low, please replace the battery.
The large number in the middle shows "OLΩ", indicating that the measured resistance exceeds the upper limit of the clamp meter. The large number in the middle shows "L0.01Ω", which means that the measured resistance exceeds the lower limit of the clamp meter.
current, and voltage alarm values, change the current number by pressing the "AL" key and "MEM" key, and short press the " MODE" key to switch the alarm mode, then long press the "SET" key to save and exit. When the measured resistance value is greater than the alarm critical set value and the alarm function is turned on, the meter flashes the "...
flashes the "MEM" symbol. Take the interface "MR" symbol display. Press the "AL" or "SET" key to select the data corresponding to the array number with a step value of 1, and then short press the "MEM" key to exit the search. See the picture below, the left picture is the flashing “MEM”...

ground wires (the shielding layer of communication cables) to form a grounding system. See below. When measured with a clamp meter, its equivalent circuit is as follows: Where: R1 is the predicted ground resistance. R0 is the equivalent resistance of the grounding resistances of all other towers in parallel.
2.Limited Point Grounding System This situation is also more common. For example, in some towers, five towers are connected to each other through overhead ground wires; for example, the grounding of some buildings is not an independent grounding network, but several grounding bodies are connected to each other through wires.
R1T, R2T, ... RNT are the resistances measured by the clamp meter in each grounding branch. This is a nonlinear system of equations with N unknowns, N equations. It has a definite solution, but it is very difficult to solve it manually, and it is even impossible when N is large. To this end, please purchase our company's finite-point grounding system solution program software, and users can use an office computer or a laptop computer to perform the machine...

the grounding system to artificially create a loop for testing. The following introduces two methods for measuring single-point grounding with a clamp meter. This method can be applied to the occasions that cannot be tested by the traditional voltage-current method. ⑴.

connecting the end of the test lead to the end. Therefore, if the measured value of the clamp meter is less than the allowable value of the grounding resistance, then the grounding resistances of the two grounding bodies are qualified. ⑵.

figure below. Use the clamp meter to read the third data R3. In the above three steps, the reading measured in each step is the series value of the two grounding resistances. In this way, each ground resistance value can be easily calculated: Since: R1=RA+RB R2=RB+RC R3=RC+RA So: RA=(R1+R3-R2)÷2 This is the ground resistance value of the ground body RA.
