Measuring Earth-Bond Resistance 
Resistance tests should only be performed on 
de-energized circuits. Check the fuse before testing. See 
Testing the Fuse later in this manual. Connecting to an 
energized circuit while the test is active will blow the fuse. 
Note 
Measurements can be adversely affected by 
impedances of additional operating circuits 
connected in parallel or by transient currents. 
To measure resistance: 
1.
 
Insert test probes in the 
Ω
 and 
COM
 input terminals. 
2.
 
Turn the rotary switch to the 
O
 position. 
3.
 
Short the ends of the probes together, press the blue 
button and wait until dashes appear on the display. 
The Tester measures the probe resistance, stores the 
reading in memory, and subtracts it from readings. 
The probe resistance reading is saved even when the 
Tester is turned off. If the probe resistance is >2 
Ω
the resistance will not be saved. 
4.
 
Connect the probes to the circuit to be measured. The 
Tester automatically detects if the circuit is energized.
