2. Verify that the display reading is within specification, see
Table 4.
• If the reading is not within specification, clean the
heads of the Jaw and repeat step 1 and step 2.
• If the reading is within specification, remove the Jaw
from the Standard Loop Resistance. The Clamp is
ready for a ground resistance measurement.
For ground resistance measurements:
1. Open the jaw and make sure the jaw is free of dust, dirt, or
any foreign substances.
2. Turn on the Clamp.
3. Push  to select the Ω function.
4. Attach the Clamp to the electrode or ground rod to be
measured.
5. Read the value of R
g
(ground resistance) from the
display. Figure 8 illustrates the ground resistance
measurement principles.
