5.1 പൊതു പ്രവർത്തനം

1. Power On: Rotate the function switch from 'OFF' to the desired measurement function.
2. Function Selection: Select the appropriate range or function using the rotary switch. The instrument offers multiple measurement ranges to suit different testing requirements.
3. Measurement: Connect the test leads as described in the specific test sections below and press the 'TEST' button to initiate measurement.
4. Reading Display: The measurement value will be shown on the large LCD display.
5. Power Off: Rotate the function switch back to 'OFF' when not in use.

5.2 Earth Resistance Measurement (2/3/4 Pole)

This function measures the earth resistance of various grounding systems.

1. Connect the test leads to the E/COM, S, and ES terminals as required for 2, 3, or 4-pole measurement.
2. Insert the auxiliary grounding rods into the earth at appropriate distances from the grounding electrode under test.
3. Select the 'EARTH RESISTANCE' function and an appropriate range (e.g., 2Ω, 20Ω, 200Ω, 2000Ω).
4. Press the 'TEST' button. The instrument will display the earth resistance value.
