boot-up stage.
¨Keep jaw and jaw contact clean.
¨Pollution will effect accuracy of measurement.
¨Keep meter away from any impact, especially jaw contact planes.
¨It is normal that the meter has some sound buzzing during measurement.
Please remove batteries if long time without operation.
¨Disassembling, calibration and maintenance on the Meter shall be operated by the
authorized engineer.
¨In case of hazards generated itself caused by continuing use, stop using immediately,
send to authorized agencies for further operation.
II. Brief Introduction
Clamp on ground resistance tester is a major breakthrough in traditionalTR-5300
grounding resistance measurement. It is widely used in the grounding resistance
measurement of the power, telecommunications, meteorology, oilfield, construction
and the industrial and electrical equipment.
Clamp on ground resistance tester , in the measurement of a groundingTR-5300
system with loop, does not require breaking down the grounding wire, and need no
auxiliary electrode. It is safe, fast and simple.
Clamp on ground resistance tester is equipped with a long jaw sized 55mmXTR-5300
32mm, particularly suitable for the grounding with the flat steel.
