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
