Operating Precautions
Handling the Instrument
• To avoid short circuits and potentially life-threatening hazards, never attach the clamp to a circuit that operates at more than 600 V AC, or over bare conductors.
• The maximum rated voltage between input terminals and ground is 600 V AC. Measuring a voltage in excess of this rating relative to ground could damage the instrument and result in bodily injury.
• To avoid electric shock, do not remove the instrument's case. The internal components of the instrument carry high voltages and may become very hot during operation.
• When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal part of the clamp sensor to touch any exposed metal, or to short between two lines, and do not use over bare con­ductors.
To avoid electric shock when measuring live lines, wear appropriate protective gear, such as insulated rubber gloves, boots and a safety helmet.

Overview Chapter 1

1.1 Product Overview
The FT6380-50 Clamp on Earth Tester makes grounding resis­tance measurements simply by being clamped to multiple­grounded ground wires. No auxiliary grounding rod is needed, and there is no need to disconnect the ground wire from the grounding rod.
The instrument also provides AC current measurement function­ality and can measure currents ranging from leakage current on the order of several mA to load currents of up to 60 A.

Page 17

1.2 Features

14
1.2 Features
Compact, low-profile sensor
The compact, low-profile sensor can be used to clamp ground wires with ease. The sensor design dramatically speeds the measurement process by eliminating the need to pull out ground wires for clamping or dig around the ground rod or wire.
Broad dynamic range
The instrument can easily measure grounding resistance of up to
0.02 Ω to 1,600 Ω with its auto-range function. Current measurement ranges from small leakage current (maximum resolution 10 A) to a maximum of 60 A.
Noise check function (p.31)
The instrument automatically detects noise that may affect ground­ing resistance measurement and displays a [ ] mark.
True RMS display
True RMS calculation allows the instrument to accurately measure distortion waveform currents.
Data hold function (p.37)
A large button that is easy to push lets you hold the measured value. The button notifies the user of the hold status by lights up while the value is being held.
Backlight function (p.37)
The instrument uses a white LED for excellent visibility so that dis­play values can be read clearly, even in dark locations.
Auto-power-save (APS) function (p.53)
An auto-power-save function keeps batteries from running down when you forget to turn off the instrument.
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Page 18
1.2 Features
15
Alarm function (p.39)
By setting a threshold, you can have the instrument make a PASS/ FAIL judgment and notify you of the result with a buzzer. You can set threshold values as you prefer for each resistance and current and choose between two judgment conditions: when the measured value exceeds the threshold (High) and when it falls below the threshold (Low).
Filter function (p.38)
Widespread use of switching power supplies and inverters has led to cases where harmonic components are superimposed on leakage current waveforms. The instrument’s filter function allows it to per­form two types of measurement: leakage current as related to deg­radation of insulation, and leakage current including this harmonic component.
Internal memory (p.42)
The instrument’s internal memory can record up to 2,000 measured values.
Automatic measurement report function using your mobile communication device (p.46)
The wireless communication function enables your mobile commu­nication device to create measurement reports on-site easily.

Measurement Procedure
• To avoid electric shock, do not touch the por­tion beyond the protective barrier during use.
• When the clamp sensor is opened, do not allow the metal part of the clamp sensor to touch any exposed metal, or to short between two lines, and do not use over bare conductors.
• The maximum allowable current is 100 A AC continuous or 200 A AC for 2 minutes (50 Hz/60 Hz). Currents in excess of these values must be avoided as they may dam­age the instrument or cause bodily injury.
• The tips of the clamp sensor are precisely manufac­tured in order to provide a high level of precision. Exer­cise caution when handling the clamp so as to avoid subjecting it to excessive vibration, mechanical shock, or force.
• If foreign matter gets stuck between the tips of the clamp sensor, do not forcibly open or close the sensor, but rather use a soft brush or similar implement to carefully remove the foreign matter. Accurate mea­surements cannot be made while foreign matter is stuck between the tips of the clamp sensor or while the shape of the clamp sensor is deformed. If the tips of the clamp sensor become deformed, have the instru­ment inspected and calibrated by your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

Resistance Measurement
Measuring Principle
As illustrated below, the instrument is designed to measure grounding resistance at multiple grounding locations. (*For appli­cations involving the measurement of grounding resistance at a single grounding site, use Hioki FT6031-50 Earth Tester or Hioki FT3151 Analog Earth Tester).
If the grounding resistance of the measurement target is repre­sented by grounded locations are represented by tance value measured by the product is as follows:
If n is sufficiently large and each Ri value is sufficiently small,
and the second term can be ignored, allowing the value of
Rx and the grounding resistance values of other

Example with actual measured values
The following provides an example with actual measured values. The more grounding electrodes there are in the multiple­grounded installation, the higher the accuracy of the obtained values. Alternately, if even one grounding electrode has a small value (for example, 1 Ω), accurate values can be approached even if there are few grounding electrodes. Since most multiple­grounded systems have a large number of grounding elec­trodes, the error can be limited.

2.4 Measurement Procedure
• Do not measure the same location with two or more Clamp on Earth Testers at the same time. The instru­ments will interfere with each other, preventing accu­rate measurement.
• Verify that the [ ] mark is not lit up.
When the current flowing through the grounding wire is high (approximately 2.5 A or greater with a commercial frequency of 50 Hz/60 Hz, approximately 100 mA or greater with a harmonic component of 1 kHz), the cur­rent will affect measured values, making it impossible to measure the resistance. Check the current flowing through the grounding wire. * The current level at which the [ ] mark lit up
depends on individual differences as well as the fre­quency. The closer to the injected signal frequency, the smaller the noise current that will affect opera­tion.
• Open display
The screen will show [OPEn] if the clamp sensor is not completely closed. Close the clamp sensor completely and repeat the measurement. * If an extremely large current is flowing through the
grounding wire or a DC current is superposed, the screen may display [OPEn] even if the clamp sensor is completely closed. This does not signal a malfunc­tion. Check the current flowing through the grounding wire by using the instrument's current measurement mode or an instrument such as a clamp tester capa­ble of DC current measurement.

Current Measurement
Measuring Principle
The instrument is designed based on the principle of electro­magnetic induction. The magnetic field corresponding to the cur­rent flowing through the conductor to be measured is detected by a current transformer that consists of a magnetic core and coil. The current transformer generates the current correspond­ing to the magnetic field. The detection resistor converts this cur­rent into the voltage to calculate the value of the current flowing through the conductor.

The current RMS value will be shown on the display.
• Always clamp the instrument around only one conduc­tor. Clamping the instrument around two or more of conductors in a bundle prevents the instrument from measuring any current regardless of whether the mea­surement target is a single-phase or three-phase cir­cuit.
• The frequency of special waveforms such as at the secondary side of an inverter may not be indicated cor­rectly.
• Depending on the magnitude and frequency of the input current, resonances may be heard from the clamp jaw. This does not affect the measurement.
• Do not input a current in excess of the maximum allow­able current for the current range being used.
• Displayed values can frequently fluctuate due to induction potential even when no voltage is applied. This, however, is not a malfunction.

2.4 Measurement Procedure
36
Do not input current that exceeds the maximum continu­ous input of the electric current range.
• Measurement may not be accurate in the cases below. (1) When there is large current (of about 100 A) flow-
ing through a nearby electric line
(2) Note that a value of several tens of amperes may
be displayed when opening or closing the clamp sensor, or when changing the electric current range. This is not an error. It may take some time for the display to return to zero. However, starting measurement before the display returns to zero will not affect measurement.
• Enable the “Filter function (Rejecting noise) (p.38)” when conducting measurement in the cases below. (1) When meaningless data is displayed due to noise. (2) When using the instrument to measure special
waveforms, such as those on the secondary side of an inverter
• The instrument may not be able to perform measure­ment in the cases below. (1) When using input current that is 1/10 or less of the
full electric current range
(2) When measuring high frequencies with the filter
function enabled.

During current measurement
Using the filter function enables a low-pass filter, causing the harmonic component to be eliminated from measured values. Widespread use of switching power supplies and inverters has led to cases where harmonic components are superimposed on current waveforms; the filter function is effective in such cases. Canceling the filter function dis­ables the low-pass filter, allowing measurement of current including harmonic components.

Wireless Communication Function (GENNECT Cross)
When the wireless communications function is enabled, you can review measurement data and create measurement reports on mobile devices. For more information about this functionality, see “GENNECT Cross Official Website” (application software, free of charge).
• The communication distance is approx. 10 m (line of sight).The distance over which data can be sent and received varies greatly depending on whether there are any obstructions between the paired instruments (for example, walls, metal barriers, etc.) and on the dis­tance between the instrument and the floor (or ground). To ensure stable communication, verify ade­quate signal strength.
• Although the GENNECT Cross is provided free of charge, downloading or using the application software may incur Internet connection charges. Such charges are the sole responsibility of the user.
• The GENNECT Cross is not guaranteed to operate on all mobile devices.
• The Z3210 uses 2.4 GHz band wireless technology. It may not be possible for the device to establish a wire­less connection when used in the vicinity of other devices that use the same frequency band, for exam­ple Wi-Fi devices (IEEE 802.11.b/g/n).
• When the app is launched for the first time (before being paired with any instrument), the instrument set­tings screen will be displayed.
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
Page 50
2.5 Convenient function
• While the mobile device is displaying the GENNECT Cross's instrument settings screen, simply move it close to the instrument to automatically pair it with the instru­ment (the app can be paired with up to 8 instruments).
• Allow about 5 s to 30 s for the instrument to pair with the app after being turned on. If the instrument fails to pair within 1 min., relaunch GENNECT Cross and cycle the instrument’s power.

If foreign matter gets stuck between the tips of the clamp sen­sor, do not forcibly open or close the clamp sensor, but rather use a soft brush or similar implement to carefully remove the foreign matter. Accurate measurements cannot be made while foreign matter is stuck between the tips of the clamp sensor or while the shape of the clamp sensor is deformed. If the tips of the clamp sensor become deformed, have the instrument inspected and calibrated by your dealer.
• Wipe the LCD gently with a soft, dry cloth.
• To clean the instrument, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moistened with water or mild detergent. Never use sol­vents such as benzene, alcohol, acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as they can deform and discolor the case.

Inspection and Repair
If damage is suspected, check the “Before returning for repair” section before contacting your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.

Be sure to include details of the problem. Hioki cannot be responsible for damage that occurs during shipment.
• Use the original packing materials when transporting the instrument, if possible.
