FEATURES, ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
DET4TC/R
F: Tough rubber armoured IP54 rated instrument case.
A: Case can withstand knocks, and the outdoor environments experienced when
earth testing.
B: Instrument will last a long time, and will be ready to test when required.
----------------------------------------
F: Supplied in tough blow moulded carry case.
A: Keeps instrument, test leads, spikes, and optional clamps together and
protected.
B: Helps prevent loss of accessories, also makes ideal ‘tray’ to put the
instrument on when testing. Saves having to lay the instrument directly onto
muddy ground.
----------------------------------------
F: Supplied with calibration certificate, test leads and spike kit.
A: Nothing more to buy to start testing.
B: Saves time having to source separate leads and spikes. No waiting for
calibration to be carried out. No hidden costs. Convenient.
----------------------------------------
F: Back light
A: Easy to read in low light environments
B: Easier to operate when not having to use a torch to be able to read the
display.

F: ‘Attached Rod Technique’ capability, ART.
A: With the addition of an ICLAMP the instrument is able to take 3 or 4 pole
measurements of earth electrodes without disconnecting them.
B: Saves both time and aggravation having to undo rusted connections. No need
to shut down supply to ensure safety.
----------------------------------------
F: ‘Stakeless’ testing capability.
A: No need to drive test spikes in ground to perform measurement.

harm livestock.
----------------------------------------
F: 40V Pk to Pk Noise rejection
A: Able to make accurate measurements with up to 40V peak to peak (ground
voltage) between the potential terminals.
B: Can be used in most locations with ground noise such as sub-stations, near
transformers etc.
