7-3. Measurement by TERMINALS Out mode 
 

This  TERMIANL  Out  mode  means  the  measurement  for  earth  resistance  by 
using output from the terminal of instrument body. 

 

 
 

  Make power off of the circuit and disconnect the terminal of grounding line. 

  Connect the lead wires as above drawing. 

  Press 

“POWER” switch once. 

  Set cursor at 

“Earth Res.” on the display. 

  Press 

“ENT” switch and set the cursor at “TERMINALS Out” on the display. 

  Press 

“ENT”  switch  once.  “Measuring”  sign  appears  on  the  display  and 

measurement starts. 

  After approx. 30 seconds, the measurement value is shown on the display. 

 
*  To get back  the  initial  display  from  the measuring  condition, press  “MENU” 

switch once. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

- 15 - 

CAUTION 

Locate the direction of red & black lead wires from the output terminals and the 

Detection CT (CT SENSOR) as above drawing.    In case of different direction 
between lead wires and CT, the display will show “OVER” or wrong value.

 

At the time of disconnecting the terminals of grounding line, make power off the 

circuit. 

Lead wires are optional accessories.    If you make them yourself, use wires with 

φ

2mm and make the length less than 1m.
