Make sure the Transmitter is off. Plug the direct connect cable into the
front panel jack. Connect the Black clip to the ground rod. Place the
ground rod in the earth perpendicular to the suspected cable path. If
necessary, extend the black lead with the Ground Extension Cable. Next,
remove the ground bonding and attach the Red clip to the shield.
Press to turn the Transmitter on in the Ohms mode . It will
measure the continuity of the cable under test. The results are displayed in
ohms and as a tone (solid tone = good ground; beeping tone = usable
ground; no tone = poor or no ground).
Note: In the ohms mode, the Transmitter can detect voltage as well as ohms. If a
low voltage is detected, the display will alternate between displaying ohms and
volts. When displaying ohms, the flag over the will be visible. When displaying
volts, the flag over the 'V' will be visible. When the voltage magnitude is sufficient
to impair the accuracy of the ohms measurement, only voltage will be displayed. If
the voltage is AC, a sine wave will be visible on the display. If a high AC
voltage is detected, a rapid beeping tone will be heard.
Note: Never attach or remove the direct connect cable from the Transmitter front
panel jack while the red and black clips are connected to a cable.
