Ground Resistance Tester Model 6471
3. The 6471 makes a measurement with a positive current (R+), then reverses the
direction of the current and makes another measurement with negative (R-).

is compensation for the measurement leads.
5.2.1 Lead Compensation Measurement
Lead compensation subtracts the resistance of the test leads from the measured
result.
• Short the two measurement leads connected to H (Z) and E (X) terminals.
• Press the 2nd button, then the START/STOP button to start the measure-
ment.
• This value will be deducted from all resistance values measured thereafter
until the rotary switch is turned to another function.

NOTE: If the compensation resistance is > 5Ω, or if the leads are not shorted
when the measurement is started, the value of compensation will be canceled.
