Model 4610 shown in

standard soft carrying case

Catalog #2114.94

Digital Ground Resistance Tester Model
4610 performs ground resistance and
soil resistivity tests. Direct reading
tester measures from 10mΩ to 1999Ω,
and is Auto-Ranging, so it automatically
seeks out the optimum measurement
range. Easy to use — simply connect
the leads, Press-to-Measure and read.

The large LCD (nearly

3

/4" high) is
easy to read, and also indicates low
battery status, overrange, and test
lead shorts and lead reversals. Three
LED indicators on the front panel
continuously warn the user of measure­ment problems to ensure accurate and
reliable tests.

The Model 4610 is fuse protected
up to >250V

AC against Accidental

connection to live circuits. In the event
of a system fault, it can withstand
250V

AC with spikes of 3000VAC or

1000V

DC

.

The heavy duty ABS case is O-ring
sealed against dust and water and the
Press-to-Measure button is also sealed.
Model 4610 is battery powered for
convenient use in remote field
applications. Mechanical and safety
specifications, such as vibration and drop
test, meet or exceed IEC standards, to
ensure safe and reliable field use.

The Ground Resistance Tester
Model 4610 is a rugged, easy-to-use
instrument ideal for maintenance
crews performing numerous tests. The
Model 4610 is designed to reject high
levels of interference, so it can be used
under difficult conditions such as high
stray currents that normally affect
accuracy.

Applications

• Three-point measurements of resis-

tance to ground of ground rods and
grids. Three-point measurements are
generally used when the electrode or
grid can be easily disconnected, if
corrosion is suspected, or in
circumstances where ground faults
are unlikely to occur.

• Four-point tests, or soil resistivity

measurements. Locating areas of
lowest soil resistivity is essential for
achieving an economical grounding
installation.

• Touch potential measurements, an

alternative to 3-Point tests in
evaluating electrical safety. This test
is recommended when the ground
cannot be disconnected, where
ground faults are highly likely to
occur, or when the “footprint” of
grounded equipment (the outline of
the part of equipment in contact with
the earth) is comparable to the size
of the ground to be tested.

• Two-point tests for continuity tests

on bonding or on pre-established
grounds. This test is commonly
performed in urban environments
where proper auxiliary electrode
placement may be obscured by
confined real estate. Measurements
are referenced against a good local
ground conductor.
