This meter has been designed and tested
according to CE safety requirements for Electronic
Measuring Apparatus, EN61010-1 and other safety
standards. Follow all warnings to ensure safe
operation.

●Application:
Earth Resistance Tester is used to measure the
ohms(Ω) of an earth grounding installation for
buildings (residential, office, labs, hospitals),
computer server rooms, military installations,
cellular sites, radio and cable towers, etc. It is
used to determine if the earth (or ground) is a
good conductor of electricity.
