AE-780 Operation Manual
Rev. 11/30/12 MKB
When the measurement is taken between the meter’s two rubber rails, the meter will
indicate the surface resistivity of the material being tested.
A. Prior to testing, make certain that surfaces to be tested are clean and
free of contaminants.
B. Allow the meter to acclimate to the atmosphere in which it will be used.
Adjustment to new environmental conditions may take as long as a half hour.
C. Place the meter on the desired surface to be tested.
D. Press and hold the white integrated
test button with approximately five
pounds of applied force. The meter
will display the surface resistivity.
E. When using the built
-
in probes, the
meter’s test values for surface
resistivity are in ohms per square
(although they are displayed in
ohms).
F. The test value is indicated on the
LED display. A decade will brighten
to the according test value. Colors
signify the test value’s function (see
page 3).

When the measurement is taken using the 5
-
lb external probes from the AE-780
accessory kit, the tester will indicate the resistance of the material in ohms.
The external probes are used to give fast electrical resistivity measurements on flat
homogeneous materials. They may be used on multilayered materials, but this should
be noted along with the temperature and humidity value on the data report.
When the cables have been plugged into
the appropriate sockets, the parallel
probes under the meter disengage.
