Measurement thresholds in resistance or voltage drop 
 The device offers high and a low measurement thresholds expressed either in continuity resistance or 
in voltage drop. 
Resistance measurement thresholds adjustable from  
Voltage drop measurement thresholds adjustable from 
A rise time applies to the test and then the output current is equal to the set point. The test is stopped if 
the user requests to stop the test by pressing the red button on the front panel. 
In AUTO mode: The test consists of 3 successive phases during which the current increases linearly up 
to the desired value (Rise), is maintained at the programmed value (Hold) and is then gradually reduced 
to 0 (Fall) 
Rise and Fall programmable from 
0.0 to 9999.0 sec. in steps of 0.1 s.  
0.1 to 9999.0 sec. in steps of 0.1 s.  
If the current generated is high (greater than or equal to 25 A), it may cause overheating of the current 
transformer and trigger its protection. 
The information below indicates the maximum time of use of the ground continuity function according to 
the cycle of use (one ½ cycle represents an application of the current for one second for a cycle with a 
total duration of 2 seconds). Note: All these times are given for a current of 32 A. For lower currents 
these times are longer. 
25 minutes / 5 hours/ infinity
