For Testing Resistance on Floors, S7.1 requires a minimum of five RTG tests per
5,000 sq. ft. Connect the leads for the external probes to the meter.
When the cables have been plugged
into the appropriate socket, the parallel
probes under the meter disengage.
Attach one lead to a 5
-
lb probe and place probe onto the floor to be tested. Attach
the other lead to an alligator clip and connect to a groundable point (RTGP). If using
a ground adapter plug, plug the banana lead into the adaptor after the adapter is
plugged into the receptacle.
