- stick the label corresponding to your language on the back of the instrument. SAFETY IN USE I Before connecting up the C.A 6423, check that no dangerous voltage is present at the earth to be measured. I Before opening the battery compartment, ensure that no measurement lead is connected to the instrument.

DESCRIPTION Measurement input terminal E (green) Measurement input terminal S (blue) Measurement input terminal H (red) Attached rod S - H for 2 wire resistance measurement 2000 count digital LCD Low battery indicator Reverse connection indicator Current circuit fault indicator (E - H) Voltage circuit fault indicator (E - S) Indicator of presence of interference on voltage circuit (E - S) Measurement press button...
3. OPERATING MODE 3.1 MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF AN EARTH POINT To measure the resistance of an earth conductor, the so-called "62% method" is in general recommended. This measurement requires the use of the items in the Earth Kit (see Ch.6: TO ORDER).
Checking the measurement 7. Note the displayed value. 8. Wait for a few moments and then re-measure. 9. Move rod S by 10% towards H, along the line between the earth point E and the rod H. Measure and note the result. 10.
NB: In the case of low value resistances, it becomes necessary to take into account the resistance of the leads (approx. 22.5 mΩ/m for those supplied as accessories). To overcome the resistance of the leads, we advise the use of a (4 pole) Earth/Resistivity Tester, on 4-wire connection.
