Resistance to earth connection and equipotential bonding measurement procedure
 Select continuity function using the function selector switch.
 Set sub-function to R LOWΩ.
 Enable and set limit (optional).
 Connect test cable to the instrument.
 Compensate the test leads resistance (if necessary, see section 5.1).
 Disconnect from mains supply and discharge installation to be tested.
 Connect the test leads to the appropriate PE wiring (see figure 5.13).
 Press the TEST key to perform the measurement.
