1. Rhagymadrodd
The ETCR2000A Digital Clamp Ground Resistance Tester is a specialized instrument designed for measuring grounding resistance in various electrical systems. This device offers a non-intrusive method for testing loop resistance without the need to disconnect grounding leads or use auxiliary electrodes, making it suitable for applications in power systems, meteorology, oilfields, construction, and industrial electrical equipment.
It accurately measures the combined resistance of the grounding body and lead, and is capable of detecting ground faults that traditional methods may miss. This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your ETCR2000A tester.

- Always observe local and national safety regulations.
- Do not use the instrument if it appears damaged or operates abnormally.
- Ensure the instrument is clean and dry before use.
- Peidiwch â rhagori ar y sgoriau mewnbwn uchaf ar gyfer unrhyw swyddogaeth.
- Always disconnect the instrument from the circuit before opening the battery compartment.
- This device is designed to measure loop resistance only, not single-point grounding. For single-point grounding, an artificial loop must be created.

6.2 Taking a Measurement (Loop Resistance)
The ETCR2000A is designed for loop resistance measurement. It measures induced potential and current to calculate resistance using the formula R=E/I.
- Ensure the circuit to be tested forms a closed loop. The tester cannot measure single-point grounding directly. If testing a single grounding electrode, an artificial loop must be created (e.g., by connecting a temporary conductor to another known ground point or using the provided test ring).
- Agorwch y clamp genau trwy wasgu'r lifer.
- Gosodwch y clamp around the grounding conductor or loop to be measured. Ensure the jaws are fully closed and there are no gaps.
- The resistance value will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- For stable readings, hold the clamp steady during measurement.

7. cynnal
7.1 Glanhau
Wipe the instrument with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no moisture enters the device.
7.2 Batri Newydd
When the low battery indicator appears on the display, replace the batteries as described in the 'Battery Installation' section (5.1).
7.3 Storio
Store the instrument in its carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
8. Datrys Problemau
| Problem | Achos Posibl | Ateb |
|---|---|---|
| No display or weak display | Batris marw neu isel | Amnewid batris. |
| "OL" (Open Loop) displayed | Circuit is not a closed loop; clamp jaws not fully closed; resistance is out of range. | Ensure the circuit forms a complete loop. Check that the clamp jaws are fully closed around the conductor. Verify the resistance is within the 0.010Ω-500Ω range. |
| Darlleniadau anghywir | Interference; dirty clamp jaws; improper contact. | Move away from strong electromagnetic fields. Clean the clamp jaws. Ensure good contact with the conductor. |
