Tester Setup
The only requirement to set up the Tester is to zero the earth bond test. For correct earth bond
test results you must zero the earth bond lead to eliminate its resistance:
•
when you set up your new Tester. Earth bond tests are locked out unless the bond zero
icon
∅
is on.
•
occasionally, dependent on the condition of the bond socket and the test lead plug, a dirty
plug/socket can result in a significant contact resistance.
To zero the test lead:
1. Attach the probe to the test lead and insert the test lead plug into the EARTH BOND
socket, see Figure 1.
2. Firmly attach the probe to the BOND ZERO connector on the Tester.
3. Push

. The display shows a countdown for the test progress.
4. When zero is complete, test lead resistance is subtracted from the bond test result. A
readout of >1.99 cannot be compensated for and the bond test is locked out.

Figure 1. Bond Zero Connections
The Tester saves the zero value so you will not need to repeat the operation every time you
use the Tester. If the Earth Bond test has been zeroed, the idle screen and subsequent earth
bond test results are marked with
∅
, for example:
∅ 0.09
