Product Construction
The Models 3710 and 3730 bodies are
built of Lexan
® or equivalent for rugged
use. The probe heads are encapsu-
lated in a double-walled shell
for extra strength and
reinforced for enhanced
field
reliability.
Overall
construction
and mechanical
design ratings such
as drop test, shock and
vibration, weatherproofing
against water projections
or dust, meet or
exceed IEC-1010 Cat. III
standards. These products
have also been designed to meet UL,
CSA and GS safety approvals, and are CE marked.
The probe head, or jaw, is a key component in the measurement and over-
all product performance.
The large jaw thickness permits use on tight ground conductors on poles
and in manholes. The 1.25" (32 mm) opening accommodates not only
ground rods, but larger ground conductors (up to 1000 MCM) typically
found in telecommunication buildings or railroad applications.
The inner jaw is composed of two independent and individually shielded
magnetic cores permitting measurement without noise interference or
cross talk common to separate probe instruments.
Thorough mechanical design,
including small winglets,
ensures repetitive jaw align-
ment for accuracy and pre-
vents undesirable insertions
into the jaw spring assembly.
The ergonomic body design
permits one-handed opera-
tion. The guard provides addi-
tional strength, and prevents
the hand from slipping or
coming into contact with con-
ductors under test. The LCD
lens cover may be easily
replaced if scratched. The
sealed push-buttons directly
access all test functions and
are easily operated even with
gloved hands.
