8) OPERATION

  

Warning

When the device is developing ground resistance tests, 

the highest voltage between E and C must be 50V AC.

Do not touch the external part of the probes or the au-

xiliary stakes, to avoid eletric shock danger.

A. Precision Measure

Place both stakes in the ground. The smallest distance 

between the electrode (E), the catheter (P) and the auxiliar 

stake (C) must be between 5 ~ 10 meters, like figure 2.
