AEMC Model 3711 Clamp-Pukapuka Kaiwhakamahi mō te Whakamātautau Ātete i runga i te Whenua

Kupu Whakataki

The AEMC Model 3711 is a portable clamp-on ground resistance tester designed for measuring electrical ground rod and grid resistance in multi-grounded systems. This instrument offers a non-intrusive method for testing without the need for auxiliary rods or disconnecting the ground system. It also measures leakage, neutral, and phase currents, providing a comprehensive solution for electrical system analysis.

The AEMC Model 3711 features an ergonomic design for one-handed operation. Its robust polycarbonate construction ensures durability for outdoor use. Key components include:

• Clamp Kauae: 1.25" opening to accommodate ground rods and cables up to 1000kcmil.
• Whakaaturanga LCD: Digital readout for resistance and current measurements.
• Patene Mana: For power, data hold, and mode selection.
• Wāhanga Pūhiko: Located at the rear for a 9V battery.

Tatūnga me te Tāuta Pūhiko

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the rear of the instrument.
2. Insert the supplied 9V Alkaline battery, observing correct polarity.
3. Katia kia mau te uhi o te wahanga pākahiko.
4. Press the "ON" button to power on the device. The display should illuminate.

Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

Ground Resistance Measurement

1. Power on the AEMC 3711.
2. Whakatuwheratia te clamp jaws by pressing the release lever.
3. Whakanohoia te 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.

Inenga o naianei

1. Power on the AEMC 3711.
2. Whakatuwheratia te clamp kauae.
3. Whakanohoia te 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) milli raneiAmpere (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).

Te Tiaki me te Whakatau

Te horoi

Horoia te taputapu ki te ngohengohe, damp kakahu. Kaua e whakamahi i nga kai horoi me nga whakarewa.

Whakakapinga Pūhiko

Ina puta te tohu iti o te pākahiko i runga i te whakaaturanga, whakakapihia te pākahiko 9V i whakaahuatia i roto i te waahanga "Tautuhi me te Whakanoho Pūhiko".

Tirohanga Whakatau

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.

Rokiroki

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.

Raparongoā

• No Display/Instrument Not Powering On: Check battery installation and ensure the battery has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Panui Uuukore: Me whakarite te clamp jaws are fully closed around the conductor. Verify there is no excessive electrical noise in the environment.
• "OL" or Overload Indication: The measured value exceeds the instrument's range. Ensure the correct measurement function is selected or the circuit parameters are within the device's limits.
• Nga Panui Heke: Perform a calibration check using the 25Ω loop. If the issue persists, contact technical support.
