Functional Displays 4-Point Bond Test 3-Point Fall-of-Potential Test The 4-Point (Kelvin sensing) Bond test shows lead connections, bond resistance test results, test voltage and current. The 3-Point Fall-of-Potential test displays test lead connection, grounding rod resistance and test electrode resistances. Test voltage, current or frequency can also be displayed with a button press.

Software Data Analysis and Reporting Software Configure all functions of the Model 6470-B DataView® software provides a convenient way to configure and control ground resistance tests from your computer. Through the use of clear and easy-to-use tabbed dialog boxes, all of Model 6470-B functions can be configured and tests can be initiated. Results can be displayed in real time and stored in your PC. Reports may be printed along with the operator’s comments and analysis.

DataView Functional Displays ® 4-Point Fall-of-Potential test setup screen — operator can select test voltage, manually select the test frequency or have the instrument automatically select the best test frequency. Distance for Y electrode can also be entered manually and a Fall-of-Potential plot generated. Lead Compensation is automatically provided in this test mode. Bond test setup screen — operator can choose two or four wire test method.
