I Safety Instructions

Thank you for purchasing the Clamp-on Ground Resistance of our company

and for the full use of the product, please:

Read the user manual carefully.

observe the operation notes listed in the manual.

Under no circumstances shall fail to pay attention to the safety in using the

clamp meter.

Pay attention to the stipulate measurement scope and operation environment.

The instrument shall apply to ground resistance testing instead of the current

of power frequency power wire, or it will affect the clamp's magnetic property

and the accuracy of ground resistance testing finally .

Pay attention to the labeled words on the surface board and backboard.

Before start it, pull the trigger once or twice to confirm the jaw of clamp can

close or open freely .

When starting it, don't pull the trigger and clamp any wires.

Clamp the objects being tested only after displaying the sign OL after

started the instrument.

Contact surface of the clamp jaw shall keep clean and refrained from cleaning

by corrosive and coarse matters.

Refrain from any shock on the clamp meter , especially the junction surface of

the clamp jaw.

It is strongly recommended using our company's explosion-proof Clamp-on

Ground Resistance tester in dangerous occasions.

The explosion-proof product is prohibited to dismantle and replace the battery

in dangerous place.

The clamp meter shall sound sporadically with light hum in measuring the

resistance, which is normal and shall be distinctive from the warning sound

beep--beep--beep-- .

Do not exceed the upper limits of the clamp meter in measuring the wire's

current.

Take out battery if do not use it for long time.

Dismantling, calibration and maintenance of the clamp meter shall be

conducted by the authorized qualified personnel.

If any danger might be resulted in continuation use by the inner reason of the

meter, stop using it immediately and pack it to the authorized qualified

institution to address the problem.

The contents labeled with * in the user manual shall be only applicable to

UT278A.

II Product Overview

The series of clamp-on ground resistance tester represents a significant

breakthrough of the traditional ground resistance measurement techniques and

apply widely to grounding resistance measurement in electricity,

telecommunication, meteorology, oilfield, architecture and industrial electric

equipment.

In measuring the ground system with loop, the series of clamp-on ground

resistance tester don't need to disconnect the ground down lead and any auxiliary

electrode, safe and fast, easy to use.

The series of clamp-on ground resistance tester can measure the grounding

problems with the traditional methods and apply to occasions traditional ways

can't measure as the tester measure the composite value of the grounding body

resistance and grounding down lead resistance.

UT276A 278A clamp-on ground resistance tester is the medium and high-end

UT276A/278A OPERATING MANUALUT276A/278A OPERATING MANUAL

Product in the UT270 clamp-on ground series, its uniqueness are:

No long time waiting for start up, enter into testing immediately .

The only one clamp-on ground resistance meter with RS232 port, uploading the

stored data to PC.

A breakthrough of the relay self-checking method, adopt the advance arithmetic

and digital IC processing techniques.

Solving the bulkiness of old product, and meeting the portable meter property .

Add the sound-light alarm function with beep--beep--beep--

Add the recognition indication function of interference signal with beep--beep--

beep-- .

Measurement scope has increased to 0.01 -1200 .

With 99-group storage data, lower energy consumption, and with working current

less 50mA in maximum start up.
