Clamp on Earth and Insulation Tester with Bluetooth Link

02 February 2021 - Hioki launched the Clamp on Earth Tester FT6830-50 and the Insulation Tester IR4057-50, both of which are compatible with the Wireless Adapter Z3210. The Wireless Adapter Z3210 can be connected to either instrument to enable Bluetooth wireless communications with smartphones and tablets. Users can enter measurement data directly into an Excel form or use GENNECT Cross, a free application from Hioki, to record measurement results on site photographs or construction drawings.

This capability allows the entire series of steps from measurement to report creation to be carried out in the field for applications such as completion inspections following the installation of electrical equipment and subsequent regular inspections, reducing workload and eliminating the risk of transfer errors.

Hioki is expanding its line of field measuring instruments that support Bluetooth wireless communications in order to streamline measurement and testing work while accommodating new workstyles. As part of that effort, the company added support for Bluetooth wireless communications to its phase detector with built-in voltmeter, an instrument that plays an essential role in electrical equipment installation and completion inspections. Previous versions of both models already supported Bluetooth wireless communications, but Hioki updated them to add convenience and enhance interoperability with other models that support GENNECT Cross.

The FT6380-50 measures grounding resistance in order verify proper grounding, which is essential to prevent hazards such as electric shock and fires. Clamp-on earth testers need only be clamped around a grounding wire, making it easy to measure grounding resistance in multiple-earth installations including warehouses, transmission towers, and lightning rods.

is used to prevent electric shock and short-circuits caused by the deterioration of insulation over the course of extended use in electrical devices, components, and equipment in manufacturing plants and other buildings.
