    5.Wire Resistance Verification In order to improve precision and stability of field measurement of earth ground resistance, avoid error due to wire resistance change due to prolonged usage of testing wires; avoid error due to testing wire that is failed to be fully inserted into tester interface or by poor contact;...
  • Page 14: 7.Simple Measurement

    There are 3 types of display modes for earth ground resistance measurement: P:---- Average Value Display H:---- Maximum Display L:---- Minimum Display The default display on booting is average value, and press MODE button to switch display mode. Precision measurement earth ground resistance adopts three-wire connection.
  • Page 15 Simple method for measurement of earth ground resistance, its reading on Tester is the total value of earth ground resistance value of measured earthing object and that of commercial earthing object, namely: RE=RX+re In which: RE is the Tester reading value; RX is the earth ground resistance value of measured earthing object;...
  • Page 16: 8.Backlight Control

    Simple method for measurement of earth ground resistance also needs to confirm that voltage value to ground must be lower than 10V. If the voltage value is over 10V, the measurement value of earth ground Note resistance may cause error and at that time, it shall firstly cut off power on measured earthing equipment and make resistance measurement after the earthing voltage is decreased.
