    6-2 Precise Measurement (with Test Probe M-7095) q Test probe connection Stick the auxiliary earth spikes P and C into the ground deeply. They should be aligned at an interval of 5-10m from the earthed equipment under test. Connect the green wire to the earthed equipment under test, the yellow wire to the auxiliary earth spike P and the red wire to the auxiliary earth spike C from terminals E, P and C of the instrument in order.

    20Ω when the earth resistance is low. This indicated value is the earth resistance of the earthed equipment under test. Note : If the auxiliary earth resistance of auxiliary earth spike C is too high to make measurement, the display reads ' . . . '. Recheck the connection of test leads and the earth resistance of auxiliary earth spike.
  • Page 14 Note : When the simplified measurement probes are not used, short P and C terminals. DANGER Please be sure to use a voltage detector to check a common earth of commercial power supply. Do not use the instrument to check a common earth of commercial power supply.
  • Page 15 w Earth Voltage Measurement Set the range switch to EARTH VOLTAGE position in the condition of q . Earth voltage will be indicated on the display. Make sure that the voltage is 10V or less. When the display reads more than 10V, it may result in excessive errors in earth resistance measurement.
