Information on the calibration of newly purchased equipment and what it means to you.
Calibration and its certification comes in varying forms on new equipment and in this section, we will break it down into the three areas that we use to classify calibration state at the point of purchase.
Manufacturers Calibration Certificate
This is a calibration certificate offered by the manufacturer supplied with the tester. This is also known as an end-of-line certificate or manufacturer’s certificate. These certificates vary depending on the manufacturer and product. They will not have your company's name on them and don’t always show proven test results.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
This instrument comes complete with the manufacturer's calibration certificate. Please be aware that these certificates are generic and may also be time-lapsed.
If you would prefer a personalised full traceable calibration certificate applied to the equipment before dispatch, then please select this option from the drop-down menu above, an additional calibration charge will apply.Manufacturers Certificate of Conformity
A manufacturer's certificate of conformity is not a calibration certificate. It is merely a statement that the equipment has been produced to operate within its intended application, it has no traceable certificate or constitutes any defined results for accuracy before leaving the manufacturing process.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.
Where calibration of an instrument is possible we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.Personalised traceable calibration certificate from isswww
This is a calibration certificate created by us at ISS. This certificate is fully traceable to national and international standards. The certificate will show your company's details, tester information, proven test results and the equipment used to carry out the test. Nearly 90% of all calibrations we do are done in-house in one of our many fully equipped laboratories. You can add this service to your order on the product page before you checkout.
Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.
We are on occasion able to offer FREE calibration on certain products at their point of sale (newly purchased equipment only) please look out for the following badge on the product's page to take advantage of this free offer.

Chauvin Arnoux CA6416 Earth Clamp
The C.A 6416 earth clamps, delivered in a carrying case, are ideal for quick earth-loop resistance measurements. 600V CAT IV, they display the earth voltage with a dangerous voltage alarm and provide additional safety during measurement.
They are particularly easy to use thanks to ergonomic innovations such as a force compensation system to keep the clamp open without any effort and an OLED display, offering visibility over an angle of 180° whatever the lighting conditions.
The automatic PRE-HOLD function when the clamp is opened and the automatic jaw calibration function at power-up help to optimize processing of the measurements provided by the clamps.
Chauvin Arnoux C.A 6416 Comes Supplied With:
- Carrying Case
- 4 x 1.5 V batteries
- CD-Rom containing the operating manual in 5 languages
Key Features:
Simultaneous display of:
- The impedance and leakage current (Ω+A),
- The earth voltage,
- The breakdown of the resistive and inductive parts of the ground impedance,
Also allows user to display the impedance transposed to a frequency close to the network frequency, thus reducing measurement errors when low values are involved.
- Additional specifications:
- Large measurement range: 1,500 Ω / 500 µH / 40A
- Alarms on Ω, A and V
- Automatic Pre-Hold mode when the clamp is opened
- 300 storage locations
- Real-time clock for time/date-stamping of measurements
- Automatic calibration of jaw opening distance at start-up
- Buzzer and automatic power-off
Typical Applications:
Measurement of grounds in parallel on MV/LV installations
To ensure the quality of the ground present on the whole distribution network, an extended ground is set up using all the local grounds in parallel: grounds of electricity poles, building grounds, etc.
Ground measurements in urban areas and/or on buildings with Faraday cages.
On buildings in urban areas where the grounding system comprises numerous ground connections in parallel and in buildings equipped with sensitive electronic equipment, a network of ground conductors connected to multiple grounds helps to equalize the potential of the chassis-grounds, particularly in the event of storms.
Measurements on telecommunications lines
To protect their line from disturbances, the telecommunications line provider isolates the cable by means of a conducting sheath connected to the ground over its whole length. Indeed, under the influence of external electromagnetic fields, telecommunication cables, which comprise several conductors, are subject to a stray current which disturbs the devices connected. This current, called the common mode, often drains to ground.
Measurements in the rail sector
Railways are particularly well protected against lightning and voltage surges. The poles bearing the catenary, the rails and sometimes even the fences are connected to the ground. In addition, to obtain a lower ground resistance, the poles, rails and fences are interconnected to create a network of multiple grounds set up in parallel.
Ground measurement on buried or surface pipelines
The ground connection of the pipeline is checked with a ground clamp by ground-loop and low- current or leakage-current measurements. In the case of pipelines, the presence of several independent but neighbouring ground networks may cause a significant difference in potential leading to dangerous stray currents. In order to prevent this, specific connections are set up to interconnect the various ground networks, thus guaranteeing their equipotentiality.
GTC Ground Tester Clamp software (Additional)
The GTC (Ground Tester Clamp) software can be used to control C.A 6417 communicating earth clamps.
GTC is a tool for:
- Configuring the instruments,
- Downloading and viewing the data stored in the memory and saving them (creation of a *.icp file)
- Perform instantaneous acquisition operations,
- Exporting the measurement data into DATAVIEW (*.dvb files) or an Excel spreadsheet (*.csv or *.xls files)
*Dataview software is not supplied with this version of GTC
