Precautions

This instrument is compliant with safety standard IEC 61010-2-030 for voltages

up to 600V in category IV. Do not use the instrument for measurements on

circuits that are not in measurement categories II, III, or IV or that might be

connected inadvertently to circuits that are not in measurement categories II, III,

or IV.



The operator and/or the responsible authority must carefully read and

clearly understand the various precautions to be taken in use. Sound

knowledge and a keen awareness of electrical hazards are essential

when using thisinstrument.



If you use this instrument other than as specified, the protection it

provides may be compromised, thereby endangeringyou.



Do not use the instrument on networks of which the voltage or category

exceeds those mentioned.



Do not use the instrument if it seems to be damaged, incomplete, or

poorly closed.



Before each use, check the condition of the insulation on the leads,

housing, and accessories. Any item of which the insulation is

deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for repair or scrapping.



Before using your instrument, check that it is perfectly dry. If it is wet, it

must be thoroughly dried before it can be connected or used.



The use of leads (or accessories) of a lower voltage or category limits the

voltage or category of the combined instrument and leads (or

accessories) to that of the leads (or accessories).



Use personal protection equipment systematically.



When handling the leads, test probes, and alligator clips, keep your

fingers behind the physical guard.



All troubleshooting and metrological checks must be performed by

competent and accredited personnel.

Definition of Measurement Categories (CAT)

CAT IV Measurement category IV corresponds to measurements taken at the

source of low-voltage installations.

Example: power feeders, counters and protection devices.

CAT III Measurement category III corresponds to measurements on building

installations.

Example: distribution panel, circuit-breakers, machines or fixed

industrial devices.

CAT II Measurement category II corresponds to measurements taken

on circuits directly connected to low-voltageinstallations.

Example: power supply to domestic electrical appliances and

portable tools.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment cover.

2. With your fingers on either side of the cover, insert a tool (for example a

screwdriver) in the latching system, and lift up.

3. Remove the battery compartment cover.

Ground Tester Models 6422/6424 9

4. Pull open the rubber seal covering the battery compartment.

5. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarities. We recommend

disposable batteries for the Model 6422 (for example alkaline) and

rechargeable batteries for the Model 6424. The Model 6422 comes with

alkaline batteries installed, and the Model 6424 with rechargeable

batteries installed.

6. Press the rubber seal back in place, ensuring it correctly covers the

compartment.

7. Replace the battery compartment cover.

If you insert disposable batteries in the Model 6424, the batteries will

last longer but the battery level indicator will be inaccurate.

If you insert rechargeable batteries in the Model 6422, the battery level

indicator will always display low battery level and the batteries

will not last as long.

1.2 Battery Charging (Model 6424)

Before using the Model 6424 for the first time, you should fully charge the

battery. Charging must be done in a location with the temperature between 32

and 104°F (0 and 40°C).

Do not perform the charging procedure if disposable batteries are

installed in the instrument.

1. Connect one end of the provided USB cable to the Model 6424 terminal

block and the other end to a wall outlet using the provided external-

power-to-USB adapter.

2. The instrument displays CHrG. While the battery charges, the battery

level indicator displays progress. Full charging requires approximately 6

hours.

3. When the battery level indicator shows full charge disconnect the

USB cable from the instrument.
