Figure 4. 3-Pole/4-Pole Measurement of Earthing Resistance - Process 
1.  Turn central rotary switch to position "R
E
 3pole" or "R
E
 4pole"  
The instrument is to be wired according to picture and notices given on the display. 
A flashing of the sockets symbols  or , points to an incorrect or 
incomplete connection of the measuring lead. 
2.  Press "START TEST" button.  
Now a fully automated test sequence of all relevant parameters like auxiliary earth 
electrode and probe and earth electrode resistance is implemented and finished with 
the display of the result R
