Anomalous Measuring Applications - HT EARTH 2P Manuel D'utilisation

4.5.1. Anomalous measuring applications

1. When starting a measurement the
instrument checks the continuity of
measuring cables. If the volt circuit
(red cable S and green cable ES) is
interrupted or its resistance value is
too high, the instrument displays a
screen similar to the one beside. Check
that terminals are properly connected
and that the earth rod is connected to
terminal S and not driven into a pebbly or scarcely conductive ground. In this latter
case pour water around the rod to decrease its resistance value (§ 11.2).
RP>top is displayed when:
 The S rod's resistance R
 The resistance of rod S exceeds the value 1200 + 100 R

measuring cables.

3. When starting a measurement the
instrument checks the continuity of
measuring cables. If the volt circuit
(red cable S and green cable ES) and
the ampere circuit (blue cable H and
black cable E) are both interrupted or
their resistance values are too high,
the instrument displays a screen similar
to the one beside. Check that the
terminals are properly connected and that the earth rods connected to terminals S
and H are not driven into a pebbly or scarcely conductive ground. In this latter case
pour water around the rods to decrease their resistance value (§ 11.2).
