This document describes the operating elements and measurement functions of the Fluke-1625 GEO Earth Ground Tester. It has a digital LCD display to show measured values, units, and operator guidance. It can perform 2-pole, 3-pole, and 4-pole earth resistance measurements, as well as resistance measurements from 0.001 ohms to 300 kilohms using AC voltage and from 0.001 ohms to 3 kilohms using DC voltage with automatic polarity reversal. Instructions are provided for selective earth resistance measurements using a current clamp.
6. LCD Display
1. Digital display of measured value
2. Measuring function field to display measuring
function
3. Unit field: V, 立, k立, Hz
4. Special characters for operator guidance
7. RA 2-pole, 3-pole Measurements
To make 2-pole or dead-earth measurements, connect a jumper between terminals
H/C2 and S/P2 with the supplied connector cable. Refer to Figure. Then follow steps 1
thru 4 except use only earth electrode and the auxiliary earth electrode with minimum
distance between them of 20 m.
A Select function RA 3-pole. Display is as shown below.
16. Measurement of Resistances
Resistance Measurement (R~)
This measuring function determines the ohmic resistance between 0.001 立 and
300 k立. The measurement is done with AC voltage. For measurements of very low
resistances a compensation of the connecting leads is suggested (see
Compensation of Measuring Lead Resistance).
18. Resistance measurement (RF)
In this measuring mode all resistances from 0.001 立 to 3 k立 can be measured with
DC voltage and automatic polarity reversal as per EN61557-5. To achieve highest
accuracy 4 pole measurements are possible. To balance the extension lead, a
compensation has to be done.
