2.7. Measurement ranges
The equipment has 4 resistance measurement ranges:
Range Unit Reading resolution
0 – 20.00 Ω 0,01
0 – 200.0 Ω 0,1
0 – 2000 Ω 1
0 – 20 kΩ 0,01
2.8. Grounding resistance measurement
1. Insert in the soil the two auxiliary rods: the E3 current rod and the E2
voltage rod. Connect them by means of provided cables to H(EC)#
and S(ET)$ output terminals, respectively. The E(EXC)& terminal must
be connected to the grounding system under test (E1) using the 5
meters cable (see fig. 01).

2. Select the R(3 pole) position in the FUNCTION Selector Switch(.
Select the 20 kΩ range with the RANGE Selector Switch* and press
the START Pushbutton'. If the resistance value is lower than 2 kΩ,
select the most adequate, electing the scale from the highest to the
lower. If the acoustic alarm bips, this indicates some abnormality in the
rods wiring, the reason may be a misconnection or an excessively high
diffusion resistance in the current rod. Check the installation to fix this
problem. (See item 5).
