Ground Resistance Measurement

1. Power on the AEMC 3711.
2. Mepee clamp jaws by pressing the release lever.
3. Debe ihe clamp around the ground conductor or rod to be tested, ensuring the jaws are fully closed.
4. The instrument will automatically measure and display the ground resistance in Ohms (Ω).
5. For stable readings, allow approximately one second for the measurement to settle.
6. To hold the current reading on the display, press the "HOLD" button. Press again to release.

Ntụle ugbu a

1. Power on the AEMC 3711.
2. Mepee clamp agba.
3. Debe ihe clamp around the conductor carrying the current to be measured (leakage, neutral, or phase current). Ensure the jaws are fully closed.
4. The instrument will automatically measure and display the current in Amperes (A) ma ọ bụ milliAmpere (mA).
5. The current measurement function provides direct readings for leakage current flowing to ground or circulating in ground loops (down to 1mA) and neutral/phase currents (up to 30A RMS).

Use the supplied 25Ω calibration check loop to verify the instrument's accuracy periodically. Clamp the tester around the loop; the reading should be approximately 25Ω. If the reading deviates significantly, contact AEMC customer support for service.

Nchekwa

Store the instrument in its hard carrying case in a dry, cool environment when not in use. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods.
