Page 15: Earth Resistance Measurement
3.3. EARTH RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT This function is used to measure an earth resistance when the electrical installation to be tested is not live (new installation, for example). It uses two auxiliary rods, with the third rod being constituted by the earth electrode to be tested (whence the name “3P”). It can be used on an existing electrical installation, but the power must be cut off (main RCD). - Page 16 3.3.4. AVERAGE OF THE MEASUREMENTS (C.A 6424) At the end of the measurement made with the S rod at 62% of the distance d between the H rod and the earth electrode, press the 62% key to store the value in memory. ...

- Page 18 If you find the same values, your measurement is reliable. If the measured values are substantially different, it is probable that they were influenced by earth currents or a groundwater artery. It may be useful to drive the rods deeper. If the in-line configuration is not possible, you can plant the rods in a triangle.
