Overview

The REED R5710 is a clamp-on ground resistance tester (earth ground resistance tester) from REED Instruments. It clamps around the ground rod and measures ground resistance from 0.010 to 1200Ω, with 0.001Ω resolution at the low end, plus leakage current up to 20A. Ranging is automatic.

Features (REED datasheet)

  • Auto-ranging ground resistance and leakage current measurements.
  • 0.001Ω resolution for low resistance measurements.
  • 9999-count EBTN display.
  • Internal memory stores up to 300 readings.

Frequently asked questions

What does the R5710 ground resistance tester measure?

Ground resistance from 0.010 to 1200Ω and leakage current from 0 to 20A, both auto-ranging, with Ω and A shown on the 9,999-count display. Ground resistance accuracy is ±(1% + 0.01Ω) up to 0.99Ω and ±(1% + 0.1Ω) from 1.0 to 49.9Ω (full table under Specifications).

What size ground rod fits the clamp?

The jaw opens to 1.26" (32mm), which REED sizes for large ground rods.

Can the earth ground tester store readings?

Yes. Internal memory stores up to 300 readings, and the meter has data hold and user-adjustable alarms.

What comes with the R5710?

A resistance calibration loop (1Ω and 10Ω), batteries and a hard carrying case.

What is its safety rating?

CAT. III 300V.
