Description

The Greenlee CMGRT-100A Clamp-On Ground Resistance Tester is a hand-held testing device intended to

evaluate grounding systems. It has two modes:

• Standard Mode: Standard Loop Resistance & Leakage Current Measurements

• Advanced Mode: Reﬁne Measurements to ﬁnd Impedance at the Selected Frequency & to compute

Contact Voltage

Furthermore, it can also give an idea about the integrity of the ground systems, the quality of connections or

bonds within the system.

The tester can measure Loop Resistance in the range of 0.01 Ω to 1500 Ω as well as leakage current in the

range of 0.2 mA to 40A. It comes with a data storage function, that can log up to 300 measurements (Both

Ω and/or A). Furthermore, the meter also allows the user to select test frequency between 50, 60, 128,

or 2083 Hz.

Important Safety Information

Read and understand this material before operating or servicing this

equipment. Failure to understand how to safely operate this tool can result in

an accident causing serious injury or death.

This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards or unsafe practices which could result in an

injury or property damage. The signal word, deﬁned below, indicates the severity of the hazard. The

message after the signal word provides information for preventing or avoiding the hazard.

SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result in severe injury or death.

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in severe injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided, MAY result in injury or property damage.

Electric shock hazard:

Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or death.

Important Safety Information

Electric shock and ﬁre hazard:

• Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

• Do not use the unit if it is wet or damaged.

• Clamp meter, test leads or any other clamp accessory, when used to make a measurement, create a System.

The System is rated for CAT IV 600 VAC when using the test leads or accessories provided with the meter.

The System CAT and voltage rating is limited by the lowest rated component in the System when using test

leads or accessories not provided with the meter.

• Inspect the test leads or accessory before use. They must be clean and dry, and the insulation must be in

good condition. Do not use the test lead if the contrasting inner layer of insulation is visible.

• Use this unit for the manufacturer’s intended purpose only, as described in this manual. Anyotheruse can

impair the protection provided by the unit.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

• Do not operate with the case open.

• Before opening the case, remove the test leads from the circuit and shut off the unit.

• Keep hands and ﬁngers below the barriers on the test leads and the clamp meter body.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

6

Electric shock hazard:

• Unless measuring voltage, current, or frequency, shut off and lock out power. Make sure that all capacitors

are discharged. Voltage must not be present.

• Set the selector and connect the test leads so that they correspond to the intended measurement. Incorrect

settings or connections can result in incorrect measurements or damage to the unit.

• Using this unit near equipment that generates electromagnetic interference can result in unstable or inaccu-

rate readings.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

• Do not change the measurement function while the test leads are connected to a component or circuit.

• Do not clamp the jaw around a conductor carrying a frequency greater than 400Hz. The magnetic circuitry

may reach a hazardous temperature if this frequency is exceeded.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and can damage the unit.

Electric shock hazard:

• Do not attempt to repair this unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts.

• Do not expose the unit to extremes in temperature or high humidity. Refer to “Speciﬁcations.”

Failure to observe these precautions may result in injury and can damage the unit.

Product Features

Rotary Switch Positions:

OFF – Instrument Powered Off

Ω + A – Measure Loop Impedance & Leakage Current

A – Measure Current

MR – Display Stored Data

SET-UP – Access to Instrument settings & Data Selection

Alarm Feature:

There are four distinct patterns of audio signal being employed for various warnings and instrument

operations. They can be disabled if required. The different pattern and their purposes are listed below:

Low – pitched with short intervals:

Normal instrument operations

Low – pitched with a permanent signal:

Alarm thresholds triggered for either Ω or A

High – pitched with a short intervals:

Irregular occurrence which may include OR in measurements or a full memory

High – pitched with a permanent signal:

Alarm threshold for V triggered

Thresholds are user deﬁned values. The alarm is enabled with a user deﬁned threshold when or when

icons are displayed.

– Alarm Enabled for measurement above deﬁned threshold

– Alarm Enabled for measurement below deﬁned threshold
