BONDING VERIFICATION
REQUIRED TOOLS:
• Multimeter
• Roll of Test Wire (common 14 - gauge wire will work)
• Alligator Clips
1. ZERO OUT (or calibrate) THE METER:
Attach one of the multimeter leads to one end of the test wire. Attach the other lead to the other end of the test
wire. The meter will display a measurement (it is measuring the resistance of the test wire). Use the calibration dial or
button on the meter to zero out the meter. You are now ready to begin the testing.
2. TESTING PROCEDURE:
a. Using an alligator clip, attach one end of the test wire to an exposed bonding wire at the equipment pad. Unroll
the amount of necessary wire to reach the bonding connection in the Hydrostride. This connection is located on
the left threaded rod/threaded stud used to mount the Hydrostride to the pool wall under the End Cover (Refer
to Figures 13 and 14).
b. Connect the other end of the test wire to one of the leads of the multimeter using another alligator clip. Use the
other lead of the meter (without the alligator clip) to take readings of the various metal components by touching
them. Test both the threaded rods/threaded studs used to mount the Hydrostride and the Grab Bar. See test
results below.
c. Take the end of the wire used in step b above and perform the same tests at the Hydraulic Power Unit and power
unit controller to ensure they are properly bonded. See test results below.
3. TEST RESULTS:
The reading on the multimeter should be between 0 and 1 ohms. Higher readings or "OL" (open line) indicate
that the component you are testing is not properly bonded.
