Warning:

Do not disconnect the ground of a live circuit.

• X and Xv (C1, P1) are shorted.
• Connect X to the ground rod to be tested.
• Connect Y (P2) to the central electrode.
• Connect Z (C2) to the farther electrode.
• Use the range selector switch, and select a range with a measurement

capability between 2 and 2000

• Using the test current selector switch, select the highest current for

which you observe a stable reading, and for which the display is not

blinking, or use the following guidelines:
