1Introduction
We are very pleased to offer ahigh quality, professional grade test instrument, for
performing two- and three-wire earth resistance measurements, on which the estimation
of earthing quality is based. The equipment was designed and produced according to
many years of experience of producing and dealing with earth resistance and electric
installation test equipment.
1.1 General description
Earth 2/3 is aprofessional, hand–held, battery powered test instrument. It is intended
for carrying out earth resistance measurements in accordance with European standard
EN 61557 - 5.
The instrument is supplied with all accessories necessary for carrying out the tests.
1.2 Warnings
In order to ensure operator’s safety while carrying out various measurements and tests
using the Earth 2/3, as well as to keep the test equipment undamaged, it is necessary to
consider the following general warnings:
• symbol on the instrument means »Read the Instruction manual with
special care«. The symbol requires an action!
• If the test equipment is used in a manner not specified in this instruction
manual, the protection provided bythe equipment maybe impaired!
• Do not use the instrument and accessories if anydamage is noticed!
• Service intervention or adjustment and calibration procedure must onlybe
carried out bya competent, authorized person!
• Never connect the instrument to high voltage (U > 20 V).
• Turn power off and disconnect anymeasurement accessoryconnected to
the instrument before opening batterycover.

3Using instrument
3.1 Performing 3-wire measurement
The Earth 2/3 is able to carry out earth resistance measurement using three wire test
method.
The distance fromthe earthing electrode (black,E)tothe currentmeasurementprobe
(blue, H) is atleast5times the lengthofearthing electrode rod orthe lengthofthe band
electrode (see Figure5).
If measuring the total earth resistance of acomplex earthing system, the required
distance depends on the longest (diagonal) distance (d) between the individual earthing
electrodes (see Figure 6).
Step 1
• Connect test leads to the instrument and to the object under test according to the
figures below.
