PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

This instrument and its accessories comply with safety standards EN 61010-1,

EN 61010-030, and EN 61010-2-032 for voltages of 600V in Category IV at an

altitude of less than 2000m with a pollution degree of not more than 2.

Failure to observe the safety instructions may result in electric shock, re,

explosion, and destruction of the instrument and of the installations.

■The operator and/or the responsible personnel 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 this

instrument.

■ If you use this instrument other than as specied, the protection it provides

may be compromised, thereby endangering you.

■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 housing. Any item

of which the insulation is deteriorated (even partially) must be set aside for

repair or scrapping.

■Use personal protection equipment systematically.

■ When handling the instrument, keep your ngers behind the physical guard.

■All troubleshooting and metrological checks must be performed by competent

and accredited personnel.

■Avoid impacts on the measurement head, in particular the air gap.

■Keep the surfaces of the air gap clean; even a little dirt can cause the clamp

to malfunction.

■All metal objects or wires connected to the electrical system should be

assumed to be lethal until tested. Grounding systems are no exception.

■Use extreme caution when using the instrument around energized electrical

equipment.

■Never attempt to use the instrument to twist or pry the ground electrode or

ground wire away from the equipment being grounded.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES

2.1 Description

The Clamp-on Ground Resistance Tester Model 6417 measures grounding

electrodes and grid resistance without the use of auxiliary rods. Clamp-on ground

resistance testers can be used in multi-grounded systems without disconnecting

the ground system under test. The Model 6417 simply clamps around the

ground conductor or rod and measures the resistance to ground. By performing

measurements on intact ground systems, the user also veries the quality of the

grounding connections and bonds. Resistance and continuity of grounding loops

around pads and buildings can also be measured.

The Model 6417 includes a current measurement function. The ground tester’s

high sensitivity enables measurement of leakage current owing to ground or

circulating in ground loops from 0.2mA to 40A and resistances from 0.01 to

1500W.

Battery life information is displayed at power-up and the Auto Power OFF feature

can be enabled for power management. Additional features include the large

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display that ensures high readability of

data. The Buzzer and Auto Power OFF features can be disabled at any time.

The Model 6417 is equipped with an alarm function and a data storage function.

In the Alarm mode, the probe will audibly and visually indicate when the reading

is beyond an input set point. You can also have the alarm activate above or

below the set point. This alarm feature permits quick eld checks where only

“pass” or “fail” readings are required.

The data storage function logs up to 2000 measurements (Wand/or A). This

enables you to conduct eld surveys, and to retrieve and analyze the readings at

a later time. The alarm settings and stored data are saved on the ground tester

and remain stored even when the instrument is turned OFF. You can retrieve and

analyze the results at a later time with DataView®software or with an Android app

through the Bluetooth communication port.

Two new features unique to AEMC®are test frequency selection and touch

voltage indication.

The ability to select the test frequency provides more accurate measurements in

inductive environments.

Displaying voltage derived from current and resistance measurements provides

an extra level of safety for the user, indicating a potentially dangerous touch

condition.
