  • Technical Specification
    APPLICATION Earth resistance measuring of simple or complex electrode systems, Ground resistivity measurements (Four terminal Wenner´s principle), and Spurious voltage according to IEC 61557-5
    OPERATION FREQUENCY During R measurement operators should select the following test frequencies: 270 Hz ± 1 Hz or 1470 Hz ± 1 Hz
    VOLTMETER In the voltmeter function, the equipment operates as a CA conventional voltmeter, making it possible to measure voltages generated by parasitic currents.
    MEASUREMENT RANGES Resistance: 0 - 20kO (autoranging) Resistivity: 0 - 50kOm (autoranging) Voltage: 0 - 60V~
    ACCURACY Resistance and Resistivity measurements: ± (2% of the measured value ± 2 digits) Voltage measurement: ± (3% of the measured value ± 2 digits)
    READING RESOLUTION 0.01Ohm in the resistance measurement. 0.01Ohm in the resistivity measurement. 0.1V in the voltage measurement.
    OUTPUT CURRENT The short-circuit current is limited to less than 3.5mA r.m.s. (according the IEC 61557-5 - 4.5 )
    IMMUNITY TO SPURIOUS VOLTAGE INTERFERENCE During the R measurement, it allows for the presence of spurious voltage up to 7V~.
    EARTH RESISTANCE OF AUXILIARY RODS In the R measurement it allows Raux up to 50kOhm with error < 30%
    SERIAL DATA OUTPUT RS-232 @ 4800 bps. Suitable for data collection in an external serial printer, computer or data-logger.
    BUILT-IN PRINTER (OPTIONAL) For a printed register document of measured values
    POWER SUPPLY By means of an internal rechargeable battery, 12V 2.3Ah.
