3.
A screen similar to the one beside 
appears where both the input interfering 
voltage of the instrument and the rods’ 
distance value are displayed 
Value of input interfering 
voltage and rods' distance 
set 
4.
Should you need to modify the 
rods’ distance press the arrow 
keys ,  and select DIST, 
then pressing the arrow keys 
,  set the desired distance 
(ranging from 1 up to 10 metres, 
by steps of one or from 3 up to 
30 feet by steps of three) 
Value of rods' distance set
5.
To set the distance measuring 
unit press the arrow keys ,  
and select UNIT, then pressing 
the arrow keys ,  set the 
desired measuring unit (m or ft) 
Measuring unit selected
6.
Connect the blue, red, green and black cables to the corresponding instrument’s input 
terminals H, S, ES, E then adding crocodiles if necessary 
7.
Extend, if necessary, the blue and red measuring cables separately using cables with 
proper section. Adding any extension does not require calibration and does not affect 
the measured ground resistivity value 
8.
Drive the auxiliary rods into the ground placing them on a line at a mutual distance 
equal to that selected on the instrument. Setting a distance other than the actual 
distance between the earth rods may affect the measurement (§11.3) 
9.
Connect crocodiles to the auxiliary rods (see Fig. 6)
10.
Press GO key, the instrument starts carrying out measurement
