• Specific earth resistance;
• TRMS current (option).

Key features

• 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.
