which is about 16.5m far from the tested earth system and the depth is over 1.5m. Under above use
conditions, it is suggested to adopt three-wires or four-wires method for test. When measuring, the
surface of metal conductor could remove the protection layer or rusty layer, and bear the metal
surface for good contact with instrument test clip).
6.1.1 Remove the line resistance of testing line
This instrument should remove the lead resistance firstly before test by two-wires
method and three-wires method.
The following are the steps:
1、 Short connection of testing line as is shown by chart 3 (that is short connection of blue testing
line and black testing line).
Adjust the switch to the testing position 【2-wires】(if the switch is in this position, adjust forward
a little and then back to this position. This position could display the interface (see chart 5).

2、 Press 【SAVE】, and LCD screen could display the letter K (see the chart 6).
3、 Press 【TEST】, LCD screen could firstly display the tested lead resistance, and then display
0.00, meanwhile it shows that the instrument has been calibrated. The following measurement
could be done. (Max line resistance calibrated by instrument is 5Ω).

Note: for there are voltage and current in neutral line, this instrument would be in automatic
anti-interference state when the voltage is less than 20V, if the voltage is more than 20V, the instrument
would perform automatic protection and stop measurement, and display voltage value simultaneously,
so it is harmless for the instrument to do the mistaking operation, such as connect with live wire for
measurement.
6.1.4 Applied example
In actual measurement, besides above two typical measurement methods, the two-wires
measurement method could also be used flexibly.

Example 1 When the poor contact of equipment’s protection earth and joint of ground screen or the
rust of joint may lead the increase of contact resistance value, some conditions, such as thunder or
occasional short of system, cause the big current could not lead into underground, and consequently
harm the equipment and cause personal accident. The following methods could remove the faults
prevent from above accidents.
Chart 9 connection method could perform the test for equipment 1 and equipment 2 in the same
place, if the measured resistance value could conform to actual condition, it shows good connection
between protective earthing of equipment and ground screen, contrarily, if the measured resistance
value is very big, it shows that there are problems of connection between protective earthing of

place, adjust forward the switch a little, and then return this position). This position could
display the interface (see chart 5).

black line to pre-testing earth body (see chart 13), and then the same operation could be done in
accordance with two- wires method.
Earth resistance measurement by four- wires method; the following are the steps:
1、Connection as is shown by chart 14.
2、Adjust the switch to 【four- wires method】testing position as is shown
by chart 15, display the figure 2 in chart 5 to show the instrument could
perform second measurement and calculate the average value, if the testing
result is unstable, press 【TEST】twice and change the test times as 5 for
measurement, and the instrument could perform 5 measurements automatically
and calculate the average. Chart 15 Four- wires switch position chart
3、Press 【TEST】, after the display value is stable, mark down the reading, if necessary, press
【SAVE】for saving the result.
6.1.7 Voltage measurement
1、Connection as is shown by chart 16.
2、Adjust the switch to 【VOLT.】position as is shown by chart 17, the screen could display output
voltage (see chart 18), and the measurement could be performed automatically, and no need to
press 【TEST】.

6、 After setting the distance, press 【TEST】, LCD screen could display the soil resistivity ρ
calculated by the formula ρ=2πaR. (See chart 23).
When measuring the soil resistivity, if you want to obtain the average of the results in different
places, and the operation could be done as following steps:
7、The switch could adjust to the position of 【AVG.ρ】, and display measurement times and

measurement value, if you want to cancel the saved measurement, press 【CLEAR】twice.
8、The switch could adjust to the position of 【ρ】, and perform soil resistivity measurement.
9、Press 【SAVE ρ】to save all testing results. (Most can save 10 measurement values) after
finishing all measurements, adjust the switch to the position of 【AVG.ρ】as is shown by chart 22,
after a while, it could display measurement times and average (see chart 23).

Save: every testing result could be saved by press 【SAVE】, and then press【SAVE】again, it could
display mem firstly, and then display serial number of save position.
View: press 【VIEW】, read and display the memory value of last testing result. Press 【VIEW】
again, it could display other memory value, firstly display position number, and then display
mem symbol.
Clear: this key has three functions:
a) If no operation could be done after saving the testing result, press 【CLEAR】 would delete the
testing result which is saved immediately, and press 【CLEAR】, and display the position number
of deleted record, and display Clr character.
b) When the switch is on the position of 【ρ】or 【AVG.ρ】, press 【CLEAR】would delete all testing
results of storing ρ, press 【CLEAR】 for the first time, the screen could display flashing Clr
characters, press 【CLEAR】again, confirm to delete, it could display NO to show no memory
value.
c) If the switch is placed in other positions except for 【VOLT.】or 【AVG.ρ】, and carry out other
functions after saving the testing results for the last time, press 【CLEAR】would delete all memory
results (15). Press 【CLEAR】, the screen would display the flashing Clr characters firstly, press
【CLEAR】for reaffirm, confirm to delete, otherwise it would press other keys or change switch
position for give up the delete operation.

Warning!!!
When testing, the battery has to be replaced. Replace the battery must stop the test.
When testing on the alternating current line, the battery tie-in could be in electrification
state for the line is possibly electrified.
