The Clamp includes a trigger lock on the trigger. Push the jaw trigger lock and trigger together to open the jaw. Ground Resistance Measurements The Clamp generates a voltage to the system under test and the induced current in the system is measured by the Clamp. The Clamp uses Ohm's Law (R=U/I) to automatically calculate the resistance measurement. To check the Clamp before ground resistance measurements: 1. Position the Jaw on the Standard Loop Resistance. See Figure 7. Figure 7. Standard Loop Resistance 12 Find Quality Products Online at: Valuetesters.com info@valuetesters.com 2. 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. Table 4.

Ground Resistance Measurement Principles 14 Find Quality Products Online at: Valuetesters.com info@valuetesters.com AC Leakage Current Measurement Based on the electromagnetic induction principle, the Clamp has a ring-shape current transformer comprised of a metal core and coil winding. The current transformer senses the magnetic field produced by the current or by the vector sum of the currents flowing in the conductor under test. The current transformer then produces a current proportional to the current flowing in the conductor. For an AC leakage current measurement test: 1. Open the jaw and make sure the jaw is free of dust, dirt, or any foreign substances. 2. Turn on the Clamp. 3. Push to select the A function. 4. Attach the Clamp to the electrode, conductor, or ground rod for measurement. Figure 9 shows several connection types for an AC leakage current measurement. 5.

Hazardous voltage exposure is possible. · Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks. · Use only specified replacement parts. · Have an approved technician repair the Product. · Remove the input signals before you clean the Product. · Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown potentials. When HOLD is turned on, the display does not change when a different potential is measured. Clamp Care Caution To avoid damaging the Clamp, do not use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning. These solutions will react with the plastics used in the Clamp. 20 Clean the case with a damp cloth and weak detergent. Do not use a solvent or cleaners with abrasives. Battery Replacement Warning To avoid false readings that could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator () appears. To replace the battery: 1. Push and hold >2 s to turn off the Clamp. 2. See Table 5 for details on how to replace the battery. Parts and Accessories Read this manual to make sure the Product is used correctly. If the Clamp does not turn on, check the battery. Replacement parts and accessories are shown in Table 5.
