Earth Tester with improved Work Efficiency

HIOKI EarthTester12 August 2020 - Hioki announced the Earth Tester FT6031-50. The optional Wireless Adapter Z3210 can be connected to the instrument to enable Bluetooth wireless communications with smartphones and tablets. GENNECT Cross, a free application from Hioki, can be used to send measurement data to smartphones and tablets and to easily create reports combining site photographs and design drawings in the field.

The new model inherits the dustproof performance and convenient, one-touch automatic measurement functionality of its predecessor (the Earth Tester FT6031-03) while adding wireless capability to dramatically boost work efficiency.

Grounding, which generally refers to the connection of electrical devices to the earth, is essential as a method for preventing electric shock when electrical equipment malfunctions or deteriorates over time. Grounding is accomplished by driving an electrode into the ground, and the resistance between the electrode and the ground is known as the grounding resistance. For safety reasons, grounding resistance must not exceed certain standard values, making it necessary to measure grounding resistance in order to verify the safety of grounding installations.

In the past, technicians had to record data measured in the field on paper and create reports later. This workflow increased the likelihood that mistakes would be made when recording values on paper or entering them into a computer. Additionally, the need to transfer values to a computer and to return to the office in order to create reports placed a significant burden on workers.

Hioki developed the FT6031-50 with wireless capability so that operators could transfer measurement data directly to handsets such as smartphones and create reports on the spot.

KEY FEATURES

  • New function: Wireless functionality that dramatically improves work efficiency
  • Dustproof and waterproof performance that make the instrument washable (International Protection Code IP67)
  • One-touch automatic measurement for more efficient operation
