The Advanced Diagnostic test provides a specific impedance value, a polarity value, and a circuit 
quality assessment of Good, Poor, or Fault. For more information about the Good, Poor, and 
Fault condition labels, see Table 3. AEFD condition labels. 
 
Table 3. AEFD condition labels 
Measurements of at least 120kΩ earth-to-ground pose no risk of causing an earth 
fault. 
Measurements between 60kΩ and 120kΩ earth-to ground do not cause an earth 
trouble, but they indicate poor quality of earth fault isolation. 
Investigate to prevent a future problem. Several channels that qualify as Poor can 
cause an earth fault trouble at the panel that Location Search diagnostic will not 
be able to isolate and find. 
Measurements of less than 60kΩ cause an earth fault trouble. This circuit must be 
investigated and wiring or devices need to be replaced.
