Danger
In measurement of earth voltage, do not exert voltage above AC220V on the measurement port.
In measurement of earth resistance, there will occur potential of about 50 V between port E and S or between
ports E and C, therefore, protect yourself from electrical shock.
Before using the meter, check the electricity in the battery by turning on the meter, checking if there is “ ”on
display and replace the battery by following the steps described in Chapter “Replacement of the battery” if the symbol
exists.
4.1 Measurement of earth voltage
Rotate the switch to ~VE position, insert the end of meter cable into sockets E and S, with another end of meter
cable connected to either end of voltage source or resistance load in parallel way to measure . If there exists voltage, it
will be displayed on LCD.
4.2 How to measure earth resistance by Bi-pole method
Existing earth pole, such as buried metals (metal water pipe etc) , common earth of the commercial power supply or
lightning rods of high buildings, instead of auxiliary earth bars are used as auxiliary pole in this method.
