AEMC Ground Resistance Tester Model 6417

AEMC Instruments 6417 Description:

Ideal for system troubleshooting in commercial, industrial, and utility applications, this ground resistance tester allows for stakeless ground loop testing and non-intrusive leakage current measurement. In addition, it has Bluetooth communication and an alarm function with an adjustable set point and buzzer for field checks.

By performing measurements on intact ground systems, the user also verifies the quality of the grounding connections and bonds. Resistance and continuity of grounding loops around pads and buildings can also be measured.

Features

• Ground integrity measurement
• Ground voltage indication (warns of possible unsafe conditions)
• Large multi-function bright yellow OLED (organic LED display)
• Selectable test frequency (improves accuracy in inductive environments)
• Display in Standard mode (one screen) or Advanced mode (three screens)
• Clamping diameter of 1.37" (35 mm) with large jaw design accommodating cables up to 1000 kcmil
• Storage of measurements (? and/or A, with time-stamping)
• Up to 2000 measurements stored
• View stored measurements on the OLED display or via Bluetooth (Class 2 - communicates up to 30' [9.14 m]) to a PC or the Android based mobile application
• Measurement hold by the HOLD and AUTO-HOLD functions
• Displays stored measurements on the display or via Bluetooth to a PC
• Auto Power OFF function
• Alarm function with adjustable set point and buzzer for quick field checks for volts, amps and ohms
• Rugged Lexan? head and body construction resists breakage
• Alarm settings and stored memory information saved during shutdown
• Includes DataView? software for data retrieval, real-time display, analysis, report generation and system configuration
• Noise icon and buzzer alert user to presence of dangerous voltage and current levels
• Designed to EN 61010-1, 600 V CAT IV safety standards

Current measurement function

The ground tester?s high sensitivity enables measurement of leakage current flowing to ground or circulating in ground loops from 0.2 mA to 40 A and resistances from 0.01 to 1500 W.

Battery life

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.

Alarm function

This model 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 activated above or below the set point. This alarm feature permits quick field checks where only "pass" or "fail" readings are required.

Data storage function

Logs up to 2000 measurements (W and/or A). This enables you to conduct field 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.

Applications

• Ground electrode system resistance
• Bonding/continuity checks
• Cell tower grounding verification
• Ground measurements on Railroad signaling systems
