Chauvin Arnoux CA 6472 Earth and Resistivity Tester
Description
Tester for all types of earth measurements, including pylon earth measurements (with the C.A 6474) - soil resistivity - earth coupling - ground potential - continuity & resistance
The C.A 6472 can be used for quick, comprehensive surveys of all earthing configurations, offering all the necessary earth measurement functions in a single instrument.
When used with the C.A 6474, it can also perform pylon earth measurements, making it a unique but essential tool for diagnostics and maintenance on pylon networks.
The C.A 6472 offers the possibility of analysing the frequency behaviour of the earth connections thanks to its extensive measurement frequency range (41 to 5,078 Hz). The use of a high-frequency measurement signal makes it possible to assess the behaviour of an earthing circuit in the presence of lightning.

GTT Ground Tester Transfer
The GTT (Ground Tester Transfer) software can be used to control the C.A 6470, C.A 6471 and C.A 6472/74 earth testers.
GTT is a tool for:
Configuring the instruments,
Downloading and viewing the data stored in the memory,
Performing instantaneous acquisition operations,
Exporting the measurement data into DataView (*.dvb files) or into an Excel spreadsheet (*.csv or *.xls files).
Caution: DataView is not supplied with this version of GTT
