Operation

ZERO Adjustment of Earth Resistance Ranges

1. Connect the long test leads to the meter as follows:

Green lead to the 'E' terminal (Green jack)

Yellow lead to the 'P' terminal (Yellow jack)

Red lead to the 'C' terminal (Red jack)

2. Set the function selector switch to the desired measurement range. (20, 200, 2000Ω)

3. Short the 3 test leads together by clipping them all to a single earth ground rod.

4. Press the TEST key.

5. Use the 0-Adjust knob to adjust the displayed reading to 000

6. Press the TEST key again to end the Zero adjustment process.

7. Perform this adjustment for each range.

Earth Voltage Test

1. Set the Function selector switch to the EARTH VOLTAGE position (AC or DC)

2. Connect the 2 Voltage test leads to the meter.Connect the black and red leads - connect the

black lead to the E (green jack) and connect the Red test lead to the C (Red jack).

3. Connect the test leads to the item under test.

4. Confirm that the voltage measurement is less than 10V AC; otherwise accurate Earth

resistance measurements cannot be made. If voltage is present (higher than 10V AC), the

source of the voltage must be found and corrected before testing can continue.

Earth Ground Resistance test

• Connect the 3 test leads to the meter (1) as follows:

Green lead (2) to the 'E' terminal

Yellow lead (3) to the 'P' terminal

Red lead (4) to the 'C' terminal

• Drive the Auxiliary Earth Bars P1 (6) & C1 (7) into the ground. Align the bars an equal distance

apart to the existing Earth ground rod connection and in a straight line as shown in the diagram

above.

If the auxiliary bars are placed in close proximity to the ground stake,

measurement inaccuracies will result.

(Minimum distance between rods should be no less than 10 feet (3m).

• Connect the alligator clip end of the test leads to the Earth bars and existing ground rod

connection as shown above:

Green lead (2) to the existing ground rod

(5) Yellow lead (3) to Earth Bar P1 (6)

Red lead (4) to the Earth Bar C1 (7)

• Set the meter's function switch to the desired resistance range. (20, 200, 2000Ω).

• Zero the range as described in the Zero adjustment procedure above.

• Press the TEST button. . The “ “ icon will flash and the audible signal will sound.

• Note the displayed reading.

• If high resistance is detected, note the value and take appropriate steps to correct the

ground connection if necessary.

• Press the TEST key to end the test.

• Readings of “1” are typical when the test leads are not connected to the meter.

HOLD Function

The Hold function freezes the latest measurement reading on the LCD.

1. Press the HOLD key to freeze the reading on the LCD

2. Press the HOLD key again to exit the HOLD function.

3. The HOLD function does not retain measurement data if the meter is turned off.

Backlight

1. Press the “ “ key to turn on the backlight.

2. The backlight will turn off after approximately 15 seconds.

200k Resistance Measurement

1. Connect the red test lead to the V (C) connector and the black test lead to the COM (E)

connector.

2. Set the function selector switch to the 200k position.

3. Connect the test probes to the circuit under test.

4. Note the displayed Resistance value.

AC Voltage Measurement

A Connect the red test lead to the V (C) connector and the black test lead to the COM (E)

connector.

1. Set the function selector switch to the 750V AC position.

2. Connect the test probes to the circuit under test.

3. Note the displayed Voltage value.

DC Voltage Measurement

1. Connect the red test lead to the V (C) connector and the black test lead to the COM (E)

connector.

2. Set the function selector switch to the 1000V DC position.

3. Connect the test probes to the circuit under test.

4. Note the displayed Voltage value.

Three terminal Ground Resistance Measurement

1. Using the Red and Green (1.5m) test leads with the alligator clips,

Connect one of the banana jacks of the red test lead to the V (C) connector (Red) and the

other to the P (Yellow) connector on the meter.

2. Connect the Green test lead (1.5m) with the alligator clip to

the COM (E) (Green) connector on the meter.

3. Set the function selector switch to the one of the Earth

resistance positions. (20, 200, 2000Ω)

4. Perform the Zero adjustment as described above.

5. Connect the Red and Green test clips to the ground rod or other item to be measured.
