Button Functions

Button Description

• When the rotary switch is set to Ω+A or A: Increases the brightness of

the OLED display; makes it easier to read the display in an environment

with strong background illumination. Highlighting activated for 30 seconds.

• When the rotary switch is set to SET-UP or MR: Serves as ▲ arrow

when browsing in the menus and values. The brightness of the display

does not change when device is set to SET-UP or MR.

MEM

▼

• When the rotary switch is set to Ω+A or A: Records the measured

value. All of the data is recorded in the Standard or Advanced mode.

• When the rotary switch is set to SET-UP or MR: Serves as ▼ arrow

when browsing in the menus and values.

►

• When the rotary switch is set to Ω+A (Advanced Mode):

Short Press: Switches the display through the following 3 modes:

-Display of the impedance recalculated at the selected frequency.

-Display of the contact voltage (product Z*I).

-Display of R and L.

Long Press: Activates or deactivates the audible alarms.

• When the rotary switch is set to SET-UP:

-Validation when browsing in the menus and values.

• When the rotary switch is set to MR (Advanced Mode):

-Switches the display through the measurement screens and the

measurement date/time.

HOLD

AUTO-HOLD

• When the rotary switch is set to Ω+A:

-Freezes the measurement display for as long as the HOLD button is

pressed. The NOISE, clamp open ( ), and alarm overshoot ( ) icons

are visible if they were active.

• When the rotary switch is set to MR or SET-UP:

-Activates or deactivates the Bluetooth®connection.

• Auto-Hold Function:

If the AUTO-HOLD mode was activated during instrument SET-UP, open-

ing the clamp places the device in an identical state to the HOLD mode for

as long as the clamp is open. The benet of this function is that it makes it

easy to freeze the measurement with one hand, when access to the HOLD

button is di󰀩cult. If the HOLD button is not pressed during this time, clos-

ing the clamp automatically exits the AUTO-HOLD mode.

Audible Signals

Four types of audible signals can be generated:

Type Duration Description

Low-pitched Short Normal use (button pressed).

Permanent Over(under)-shoot of a measurement alarm threshold (Ω, A).

High-pitched Short Abnormal use (for example, memory full).

Permanent Overshoot of a safety alarm threshold (V).

Getting Started

Inserting the Batteries

• Disconnect the instrument from any

connections and turn the rotary switch to

the OFF position.

• Use a Phillips head screwdriver to

unscrew the 2 attachment screws and

remove the battery compartment cover.

• Remove the old batteries and replace

them with 4 new batteries (LR6, AA,

1.5V), observing the polarities.

• Close the battery compartment cover and

screw the two screws back in.

• Check the proper operation of the device.

WARNING: Do not clamp onto a conductor during a measurement.

Turning the Instrument ON

With the clamp closed and not clamped around any conductor, set the rotary switch to

a position other than OFF. All icons on the display light for approximately two seconds,

before possible entry of the date and time.

Turning Bluetooth ON

• Turn the rotary switch to the MR or Setup position., then press and release the

HOLD / button.

When Bluetooth (BT) is ON you will see the Bluetooth icon ( ) at the bottom of the

display.

To turn Bluetooth OFF, repeat the steps above. Once Bluetooth is ON you can rotate

the rotary switch to any position (except OFF) and Bluetooth will remain ON.

NOTE: When setting up the Bluetooth connection between the instrument and your

PC, you may be prompted to enter a pass code on the PC. If so, enter 1234 for the

pass code.

Setting the Date and Time

Setting the clock, which allows time-stamping of the measurements, is done only the

rst time the device is used or after the device has been without battery power for

more than 2 minutes.

Set the function switch to Ω+A. All icons on the display light for approximately two

seconds. Enter the date and time of the device using the ▲, ▼, and ► buttons.

The date and time can also be congured before a measurement in SET-UP.

Standard and Advanced Modes

The Ground Resistance Tester has two modes:

• Standard Mode: Makes the standard loop resistance/impedance and current

clamp measurements.

• Advanced Mode: Used to rene and complete the measurements:

-Impedance referred to the selected frequency.

-Contact voltage.

-Resistive and inductive fractions of the loop impedance.

The choice of the Standard or Advanced mode and the alarm thresholds are

congured in SET-UP.

Storing Measurements into Memory

The values displayed during the measurements can be stored in memory and read

later. Storage of the data is available in both the Ω+A and A measurement modes,

provided that memory locations are free. Data is stored as soon as the MEM button is

pressed. A long audible signal conrms the storage.

Displaying Stored Measurements

• Set the function switch to the MR position.

• The type of data that is displayed is dependent on whether Standard or Advanced

mode was selected during SET-UP.
