4-4 Backlight function: HOLD Button Press and hold the HOLD button for 2 seconds to turn the display backlight on. Press and hold the button for 2 seconds again to extinguish it. The backlight also goes off in 30 seconds after it is turned on. 4-5 Relative value function: REL button The function is used to cancel resistance of test leads for earth resistance measurement.
5-1 Start-up Inspection Check the following items before starting the daily measurement work. • Appearance check : Check the appearance of the tester to see if it is free from damage caused by falling, etc. • Accessories : Check that the test leads and alligator clips are free from irregularities such as wire disconnection and crack.
HOLD > TEST POWER illustrated, then press TEST button. ④ Press REL button, reading EARTH TESTER PDR4000 becomes 0.00 with symbol. During earth resistance measurement press button again or change function, function will be canceled. Note: If reading is 5 Ω or less when pressing REL function, test lead may be broken.
> TEST POWER Earth Earth EARTH TESTER PDR4000 5~10m 5~10m Note: Please place the auxiliary earth electrode as much as possible into the moist area. If you place it into a place where there are many pebbles, sandy lands, dry place, please add water and damp it.

During the measurement, LED indicator lights and symbol turns on. ③ Press the TEST button again to stop the measurement. ④ Explanation when displaying values other than numbers • In case of overload, the display is "O.L.". • When the resistance of the auxiliary earth electrode H (C) exceeds about 12 kΩ, the display is "- - - -".
POWER EARTH TESTER Low Earth resistance Low Earth resistance Earth Earth PDR4000 5-6-2 Measurement CAUTION Before measurement, make sure that sensitivity of leakage circuit breaker is large enough against 2 mA, which is maximum measuring current of the tester. ① Set the function to 40 Ω/400 Ω/4000 Ω.
• When the resistance of the auxiliary earth electrode H (C) exceeds about 12 kΩ, the display is "- - - -". [6] MAINTENANCE WARNING 1. This section is very important for safety. Read and understand the following instruction fully and maintain your instrument properly. 2.

Operating uncertainty (IEC61557-5) Operating uncertainty ( B ) is an uncertainty obtained under the rated operating conditions, and calculated with the intrinsic uncertainty ( A ), which is an error of the instrument used, and the error ( En ) due to variations. The maximum operating uncertainty should be within ±30 %.
