Ground Resistance Tester Model 3640 DISCONTINUED

This item has been discontinued. See Model 6424 for new purchases

The Digital Ground Resistance Tester Model 3640 performs ground resistance measurement. This direct reading tester is auto-ranging, so it automatically seeks out the optimum measurement range. The Model 3640 is easy to use - simply connect the leads, press to measure, and read. The large LCD (nearly 3/4" high) also indicates low battery status, overrange, and lead reversals.

The Model 3640 comes with 3 color coded terminals to aid in easy hookup. Three LED indicators on the front panel continuously warn the user of measurement problems to ensure accurate and reliable tests.

The Model 3640 is fuse protected up to 250VAC.

The Ground Resistance Tester Model 3640 is also available in complete Kits (150ft and 300ft).
