Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the C.A 6460 and C.A 6462 Earth and Resistivity Testers, designed for field use to measure ground resistivity, earth electrode resistance, and coupling using traditional rod methods. These instruments are robust, watertight, and user-friendly, providing accurate and reliable measurements.
Specifications: The testers measure resistivity using "4-wire" connections, ground resistances with "3-wire" connections, and coupling between earth electrodes with "4-wire" connections. They feature automatic range and current selection, a large backlit LCD display, and three diagnostic LEDs to indicate faults or interference.
Safety and Standards: The C.A 6460 and C.A 6462 comply with strict safety standards, including double insulation according to NF EN 61010 / IEC 61557 and EMC standards EN 61 000-3 and EN 61 000-4. They are suitable for harsh environments with parasitic voltages and high telluric currents.
Technical Specifications: Measurement range is from 0 to 2000 Ω with three automatic ranges. The measurement frequency is 128 Hz, and the open circuit voltage is ≤ 42 V peak. The C.A 6460 can perform 4,500 measurements of 15 seconds each, while the C.A 6462 can perform 1,180 measurements.
Power Supply: The C.A 6460 uses 8 alkaline 1.5 V LR14 batteries or rechargeable NiMH/NiCd batteries, while the C.A 6462 is equipped with a rechargeable NiMH battery with an internal charger.
Accessories and Kits: The document lists replacement parts and accessories, including standard and prestige earth/resistivity kits with rods, cords, and a hammer. The kits are designed for easy transport and use in the field.
Contact Information: The document provides contact details for Chauvin Arnoux offices in France, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East.

USE / APPLICATIONS: Ground resistivity measurement with the "Wenner method" (4-rod method) Depending on the soil's properties, this measurement defines the best positions, depth and geometry necessary for installing electric ground connections. Ground connection resistance measurement with the "TAGG method" (62 % method) This method, using 2 auxiliary rods, measures up to 2000 Ω, even in worst-case conditions. Ground connection to be measured S(Y) Coupling measurement between two earths 4-wire measurements are considered better than 2-wire because they free you from cord resistance, which is...
