tances
Turn central rotary switch to position "A RE 3pole" or "A RE 4pole".
The instrument is to be wired according to picture and notices given on the
display.
A flashing of the sockets symbols EFGH or A, points to an incorrect
or incomplete connection of the measuring lead.
Fix clip-on transformer around the earth electrode to be measured.
Make sure that the clip-on transformation ratio set on the instrument corre-
sponds to the clip-on transformer used. Change settings if necessary (see
“Changing of all Data Settings with Personalised CODE”)
