FLUKE-1623-2 Includes Only:

• GEO Earth Ground Tester
• User's Manual
• Batteries
• Quick Reference Guide
• 2 Test Leads

Features:

• A unique earth ground tester that performs fast, accurate testing with and without stakes
• Tests 3- and 4-pole fall-of-potential, and 4-pole soil resistivity (with stakes)
• Performs selective earth ground rod testing (one clamp + stakes)
• Performs stakeless earth ground rod testing (two clamps)
• Features IP56 rating for outdoor use

This earth ground tester measures earth ground loop resistances using only clamps, only stakes, or one clamp and stakes. With the stakeless test method, It is able to measure earth ground loop resistances for multi-grounded systems using only current clamps. This technique eliminates the dangerous, and time consuming job of disconnecting parallel grounds, and finding suitable locations for auxiliary ground stakes. can use it to perform earth ground tests in places have not considered before, such as inside buildings, on power pylons, or anywhere don't have access to soil.

Keep in mind, the stakeless test method works only if a bonded earth ground system exists for the building or structure under test. If there is only one path to ground, typical with many residential applications, will need to use the fall-of-potential test method that requires stakes.
