GSAFETY WARNINGS

■Use of rubber gloves is good safety practice even if the equipment is properly operated and

grounded.

■Safety is the responsibility of the operator.

■Use extreme caution when using the instrument around energised electrical equipment.

■Do not attempt to use the ground tester to twist or pry the ground electrode or ground wire away

from the equipment being grounded.

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

tested, the grounding system is no exception.

Symbols used on the instrument are:

FCaution: Risk of Electric Shock

GCaution: refer to accompanying notes

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ground Resistance Measurement

1. Open the jaws and make sure that the mating surfaces are clean and free of dust, dirt or any

foreign substance.

2. Snap the jaws a few times to ensure clean contact is made.

3. Turn the rotary switch to the Ωposition to power the instrument on. Do not clamp on to any

conductor or open the jaws, as this is a self-calibration phase.

4. At power on in _ mode, the instrument will perform a self-calibration for optimum accuracy. Users

must wait for self-calibration to be complete before use. During the self-calibration phase, the

LCD will show CAL7, CAL6, CAL5, CAL4, CAL 3, CAL2, and CAL1.

5. When the ground tester is ready, a beep will be heard.

6. Place the clamp around the electrode or ground rod to be measured. Operate the jaws a few

times for better accuracy.

7. Read the value of Rg (ground resistance) from LCD.

NOTE: For better measurement:

1. Operate the jaws a few times before powering on to clear mating surfaces.

2. Do not clamp on to any conductor during power up (point 3 above).

3. Operate the jaws a few times after clamping around the ground electrode.

NOTE: If self-calibration does not complete (The instrument will continue the process until a

successful self-calibration is achieved):

1. Check the jaw mating surfaces. If there is any dirt, dust, or any foreign substance, clean the

surfaces.

2. Ensure the jaws are not open during self-calibration.

NOTE: Noise present in the electrode or ground rod.

If there is excessive current or over 30V noise in the ground rod, a symbol of "NOISE" will be shown

in LCD. Under these conditions, the reading is no longer accurate. We recommend the current flow is

measured before a resistance reading is taken.

NOTE: If jaws are opened during a measurement, a symbol of "OPEN" will be displayed on the LCD.

High and Low Alarm ( )

1. Set the rotary switch to the position.

2. Press the FUNC button to select "HI" or "LO" alarm. The present value of High or Low alarm will

be shown in the lower row of the LCD.

3. Press the ▲button to increment the value by 1 ohm. If the button is held down, the rate of

increment accelerates. The value can be set from 0 ohm to 1550 ohm and then OL. The value will

roll over to 1(HI) or 0 (LO) if the set value in incremented past OL.

4. Once the value is set, press the FUNC button several times until the upper row LCD does not show

any letters. 6

5. When the rotary switch is set at the position the instrument will compare the measured

value with the high and low values. If the measurement is higher than the HI value, the unit will

beep and show "HI --" in the upper row of LCD. If the current measurement is lower than the

LO value, the unit will beep and show "LO-- " in the upper row of LCD.

NOTE: If the HI value is set at OL, or the LO value is set at 0, the ALARM function is disabled. The

HI or LO value can be disabled individually

NOTE: The HI value cannot be lower than the LO value. Similarly the LO value cannot be higher

than the HI value. HI value will be adjusted to LO value plus 1 if roll-over occurs. The maximum

value of LO value is HI value minus 1.

NOTE: If data logging is in progress, the beeper will be disabled to save battery power. However,

the LCD displays the warning letters of "HI—" or "LO—" if an alarm condition occurs

NOTE: The values for the high and low alarm are stored in the memory. The values will be active

when the unit is powered on and alarm mode selected.

Ground/Leakage Current Measurement

1. Set the rotary switch to the mA or A position.

2. Place the clamp around the electrode or ground rod to be measured.

3. Read the value of leakage current displayed on the LCD.

Setting the Sampling Interval

1. Press the FUNC button until the letters "SEC" are shown on the upper row of LCD.

2. The unit shows the current sampling interval in seconds.

3. Press the ▲button to increment the value by 1 second. If the button is held down, the rate of

increment accelerates. The value can be set from 0 to 255 seconds. The set value will roll over to 0

when the maximum value of 255 seconds is reached.

4. Press the FUNC button several times until the upper row LCD does not show any symbols.

NOTE: The sampling interval is used for data logging and RS-232C output timing.

Data Logging

The unit will start data logging if the "REC ▲" button is pressed, and the symbol "REC" will be shown

on the LCD. Data will be recorded at the specified sampling interval. Data logging will be stopped if

the memory is full, or the unit detects a low battery condition, or the "REC ▲" button is pressed

again.

NOTE: With sampling time greater than zero the Auto Power Off feature is disabled in this mode

NOTE: If the sampling interval is set at 0 seconds, one set of data is recorded. To record the next set

of data, press the "REC ▲" button again. The record number and "REC" symbol is displayed for

approximately 1 second.

Downloading Data to a PC (ASCII format)(DET20C only)

1. Connect the RS-232C cable to the unit and a PC.

2. Run any application software which can accept ASCII data.

3. Press the FUNC button until the symbol "dL" is shown in the upper row on the LCD. The number

of records in the memory is shown in the lower row on the LCD.

4. Press the "REC ▲" button to down load all the data stored in the memory. The symbol " -- " is

shown next to the symbol "dL" when data is transferring to PC in ASCII format.

5. The process of down loading can only be halted by turning the instrument off.

6. To exit this function, press the FUNC button several times until the upper row LCD shows no

symbols.

NOTE: The unit first sends the sampling time, then the rest of the data stored in memory is sent to

the PC.

Format of Down Loaded Data (DET20C only)

The data is down loaded to the PC in ASCII format. In addition to data readings information includes

status of jaws open, noise, HI alarm, LO alarm, and low battery. Below is a list of abbreviations for

each condition and an example of data down loaded to the PC:

List of abbreviations:

Abbreviation Abbreviation Abbreviation

OPEN Jaws open NS Noise HI Hi alarm

LO Low alarm HD Data Hold LB Battery low

Example of down loaded data:

0001 (sampling time)

10.00 ohm

10.02 ohm

5.200 ohm LO

1.000 ohm NS

1.500 mA

9.00 A

NOTE: Each record is ended by <CR> and <LF>. The corresponding ASCII codes for <CR> and <LF>

are 13 and 10.

Reading the Data Stored in Memory

This function allows users to read the data stored directly from the instrument display.

1. Press the FUNC button until the symbol "NO." is shown on the LCD. The current record number is

shown on the upper row of the LCD, the data is shown in the lower row of LCD.

2. Press the ▲button to read the next data record.

3. Holding down the ▲button accelerates the rate of increment. The record number will roll over to

1 when the last record is reached.
