4-Pole Measurements
To make 4-pole measurements:
1. Select 4 POLE function. See Figure 5.
2. Connect test leads.
Connect terminals E/C1 and ES/P1 to the earth system to be measured with the
two supplied test leads (1.5 m). Place two ground stakes in earth/dirt. Minimum
distance between earth electrode (E/C1), probe (S/P2), and auxiliary earth (H/C2)
should be at least 20 m. The ES test lead eliminates the influence of the test
leads.
Connect the stakes with the 25 m and 50 m cable reels to H/C2 and S/P2 as
shown below.
3. Push START.

measurement, continue to push the START button.

new measurement is started or the rotary switch is turned.
