Key features

  • Earth resistance, 4-wire method
  • Earth resistance, 4-wire method with one current clamp (option)
  • Earth resistance, two clamps method (option)
  • Specific earth resistance
  • TRMS current (option)
  • Earth resistance measurement: instrument performs standard 4-wire earth resistance tests with two earthing rods and specific earth resistance measurement
  • Selective earth resistance test: optional 4-wire earth resistance measurement in combination with an additional current clamp is used for measuring earth resistance of individual earthing rods
  • Contactless earth resistance test: earth resistance measurement with 2 current clamps without breaking the loop is intended for measuring resistance of individual earthing rods and is recommended first of all for urban areas
  • Downloadable: downloads via RS232 or USB cable directly to the PC with the help of the optional software
  • Upgradeable: if changes occur to the regulations upgrades can be made to the firmware to keep the instrument up to date
  • Help screens: instrument comes complete with built-in help screens for referencing on site
  • Built-in charger & rechargeable batteries: instrument has a built-in charging circuit and comes complete with a set of rechargeable NiMH batteries
  • Custom limits: the limits can be set on any function, in that case large green and red lights of the LEDs will indicate a PASS or FAIL evaluation of test result
  • Easy to use: large bright LCD display and large buttons enable easy handling of the instrument (even while wearing gloves)
  • Magnetic holder: magnet for fixing instrument on metal surfaces enables hands-free operation
