User's Manual

Earth Ground Resistance Tester

Model 382152

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech Earth Ground Resistance Tester. This

device can measure resistance (in 3 ranges) and AC voltage to 200V. 2mA constant

current test signal permits earth resistance tests without tripping current breakers in the

circuit under test. Single, momentary tests or automatic 3-minute tests can be selected.

This device was designed to meet IEC-1010 (EN 61010) safety standards.

Earth Ground Resistance Testers are useful for:

•Estimating ground resistance of a proposed substation or transmission tower.

•Computing inductive coupling between neighboring power and communication

circuits.

•Designing cathode protection systems.

•Geological surveys.

Careful use of this meter will provide years of reliable service.

Operation

Test Connection Diagram

Test Preparation and Setup

1. Connect the test leads to the meter as follows:

•Green lead to the 'E' terminal

•Yellow lead to the 'P' terminal

•Red lead to the 'C' terminal

2. Drive the Auxiliary Earth Bars C1 & P1 (included) into the ground. Align the bars

equidistant to the existing Earth ground connection and in a straight line as shown in

the diagram above.

3. Ensure that the bars are between 17 and 33 ft (5 and 10 meters) apart. If the auxiliary

bars are placed in close proximity to the ground stake, measurement inaccuracies will

result.

4. Connect the clamp ends of the test leads to the Earth bars and existing ground

connection spike as shown above.

Earth Voltage Test

1. Set the meter's function switch to the ACV position.

2. Press the PUSH-ON button to perform a single, momentary test.

3. Press the PUSH-ON and TIMER ON buttons simultaneously to begin a 3-minute test.

The 3-minute test automatically shuts down after 3 minutes. Press the Timer OFF

button to end an automatic test at any time.

4. The front panel test status LED will light if the test is operating correctly. If the LED

does not light check for problems such as open circuits or overload conditions.

5. Note the LCD reading.

6. Confirm that the voltage measurement is less than 10V AC; otherwise accurate Earth

resistance measurements cannot be made. If voltage is present (higher than 10V AC),

the source of the voltage must be found and corrected before testing can continue.

Earth Resistance Test

1. Set the meter's function switch to the ohms position and set the range switch to the

desired resistance range.

2. Press the PUSH-ON button to perform a single, momentary test

3. Press the PUSH-ON and TIMER ON buttons simultaneously to begin a 3-minute test.

3-minute tests automatically shut down after 3 minutes. Press the Timer OFF button to

end an automatic test at any time.

4. Note the displayed reading. The front panel test status LED will light if the test is

operating correctly. If the LED does not light, check for problems such as open circuits

or overload conditions.

5. If high resistance is detected, note the value and take appropriate steps to correct the

ground connection if necessary.

6. Readings between 300 to 600Ω(in the 2kΩrange) are typical when the test leads are

not connected to the meter.

Data Hold

Data Hold freezes the latest measurement reading on the LCD.

1. Select ON from the Data Hold selector switch to turn Data Hold ON.

2. The reading that was on the display when the switch was set is now held on the LCD.

3. The Data Hold function does not retain measurement data if the meter is turned off.

4. Select OFF from the Data Hold selector switch to return meter to normal operation.
