    Digital Earth Resistance Tester Caution Check if the total length of testing plugs are inserted into the port before a measurement. Take out of the batteries from the cartridge if the meter will not be used or will be stored for long. Don’t expose the meter to sunlight, high temperature, humidity or dew Clean the meter with neutral solvents or wet cloth instead of abrasives or organic solvents Lay the meter in store only when it is dry.

    Digital Earth Resistance Tester 4.Operation Instruction Danger In measurement of earth voltage, do not exert voltage above AC220V on the measurement port. In measurement of earth resistance, there will occur potential of about 50 V between port E and S or between ports E and C, therefore, protect yourself from electrical shock.

    Digital Earth Resistance Tester (2) Measurement of earth voltage. Earth voltage measurement should be done before measurement of earth resistance to check the amount of earth voltage, as voltage more than 10 V is likely to cause larger error in the measurement of earth resistance. In this case, cut the measured object from the power supply and wait until the earth voltage drop for another measurement.
  • Page 14 Digital Earth Resistance Tester (1) Connect the test leads to the meter as follows Fully insert the Auxiliary Earth Bars P, C in straight line into the ground and ensure that the bars are between 5 and 10 meters apart. Connect ends of the test leads (black, red and green), from the ports E, P, C, separately to the object measured, auxiliary earth rod P and auxiliary earth C.

    Digital Earth Resistance Tester (2) Measurement of earth voltage Earth voltage measurement should be done before resistance, as voltage more than 10 V is likely to cause larger error in the measurement of earth resistance. In this case, remove the test leads and wait until the earth voltage drop for another measurement. (3) Measurement of earth resistance Rotate the switch to 3 POL position, press down the MEASURE key to start the measurement The MEASURE key will come on and blink.

    Digital Earth Resistance Tester 4.6 REL—Relative Measurement Relative measurement is used for direct measurement of earth resistance. Press REL to switch in and out of relative measurement mode. (1) In relative measurement mode, the symbol “REL” is shown on LCD and the existing reading is stored in the memory for future reference.
