Tips

For accurate earth resistance measurements, ensure the earth spikes are driven deep into moist soil and spaced according to the 62% method. Always check for earth voltage before connecting the tester to avoid damage. Use the data hold function to capture readings in hard-to-reach locations, and replace all six batteries when the low battery indicator appears to maintain accuracy.
