Operation

Battery Voltage check

1. Press the "ON/OFF" button, if "Battery Low" appears on the display, replace the batteries.

Earth Voltage measurement

1. Connect the test leads as shown below.

2. Press the "ON/OFF" button and wait for “Select Function” to appear on the display.

3. Press the "ACV" button and then the "TEST/STOP" button.

4. The earth voltage will be displayed on the display.

Note: When the earth voltage is more than 10V, errors in earth resistance measurements may

occur. Make sure that the indicated value is less than 10V.

Earth Resistance measurement

Note: The measured results may be influenced by inductive or capacitive coupling if the test leads

are twisted or adjacent to each other. When connecting the Probes, keep the leads separated.

Setup

Insert the Potential spike and the Current spike (if required) as deep as possible into the soil. The

distance between spikes must be 5 to 10 meters (16 to 32 feet).

Four-terminal earth resistance measurements

Testing

1. Connect the test leads for 2, 3 or 4 terminal testing.

2. Press the ON/OFF button and wait for the “Select Function” screen to appear.

3. Press the "2P", "3P" or "4P" button that agrees with the setup.

4. Press "TEST/STOP" button to begin the test.

5. The meter will beep while the test is in progress (approximately 10 seconds) and then the

reading will appear on the lower line of the display.

Notes:

"Rc" & "Rp" LED indications:

Rc: No test current output. Check connections.

Rp: If Rp is on and the display indicates “> 2 kΩ”, the earth resistance is greater than 2000Ω.

If, in "4P" mode, the display shows "Vp Error", short circuit C1(black) and P1(green).

Measurement Considerations

2 terminal testing of earth resistance is appropriate for most general purpose testing in normally

conductive soil. But, 2 terminal measurements include test lead and contact resistance in the

measurement and the result will be a reading slightly higher than the true earth resistance. When

measured results are higher than desired or if measurement directives require multi-terminal

techniques, switch to the 3 or 4 terminal techniques as needed.

Maintenance

1. Rear cover

2. Battery

3. Fuse

Fuse Replacement

1. Disconnect the test leads from the instrument.

2. Remove the rear cover by removing two screws.

3. Remove and replace the fuse with the new one of the same value and size 0.1A/250V, 5 x

20mm.

4. Replace and secure the rear cover.

Battery replacement

When "Battery Low" appears on the display, replace the batteries.

1. Disconnect the test leads from the instrument and remove the rear cover and the batteries.

2. The tester's battery is situated under the tester.

3. Replace with eight 1.5V AA light batteries, taking care to observe correct polarity.

4. Reinstall battery holder and the battery cover.

Cleaning And Storage

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock or damage to the meter, do not get water inside the case.

Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and detergent, do not use abrasives or solvents.
