Ground Pro–Handheld, Ground Integrity Meter CTM051

Highly accurate 3 in 1 meter for ground impedance measurements.

“Improper grounding accounts for up to 40 percent of costly power-related problems, including damage and downtime — whether it’s lightning, voltages induced between equipment cabinets, multi-grounding on the site, or poor operation of computerized electronics.” (Allen-Bradley (AB) Technical Journal)

Proper grounding is absolutely crucial for safe, uninterrupted operation of equipment, and is the most essential component of any ESD/EMI management system. Common tool and equipment problems are largely due to ground and power related issues or excessive noise (EMI) on the ground line.

Ground ProTM ground integrity meter gives equipment and facility engineers and technicians the ability to accurately and easily measure ground parameters, including connectivity, noise and parasitic voltage on ground.

This ground integrity meter is a handheld portable instrument, which is highly accurate, and measures ground impedance in compliance with ANSI 6.1 and ESDA S20.20 requirements.

Ground Pro is a three-in-one meter measuring three (3) important ground parameters:

Impedance Meter – Measures the true value in Ohms on ground regardless of ground currents and noise/EMI that is common on working tools, with alarm threshold settings.
High Frequency (EMI) Signal Meter – Measures the peak and average of the high frequency (EMI) signals present in the tool or facility ground. User defined alarm thresholds will audibly warn of high frequency (EMI) signals above preset levels.
AC Voltage Meter – Measures parasitic AC voltage on ground. If ground is miswired accidentally, as with the other features, an audible alarm indication will notify the user.
