14. The multichannel meter registers instantaneous values of input voltage, output
voltage of the source, output current of the source (through the current shunt).
15. The source controller switches the input of the active source and controls the
operation of the external source.
16. The switch is designed for switching the supply lines of the source and the measuring
lines of the multichannel meter to the contacts of the electrode cable and the connectors
of the remote electrodes.
17. The output terminals of the source on the instrument panel are designed for operation
by the method of vertical electrical sensing and diagnostics of the equipment.
18. Connectors "1-32" and "33-64" are intended for connection of electrode cables with
corresponding numbers of electrodes.
19. The external source connection terminals are used to connect to the corresponding
external source terminals.
The instrument performs:
1. Measurement of transient resistance of the electrodes after they are ground.
2. Switching of feeding and measuring electrode in a multi electrode cable.
3. Excitation of electric current in the supply lines of electrical installations

1. Do not touch the dashboard connectors and electrodes during operation to ensure
normal operation and because of the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not operate the equipment, if possible to allow moisture (splash, rain, snow) and
dirt into the dashboard and connectors, as well as prolonged exposure to direct
sunlight on the dashboard due to the risk of overheating of the equipment.
3. Do not inflect with much power the cable (winding cable on a coil with an inner
diameter of less than 100 mm, not arbitrary tightening of nodes). The minimum
bending radius of the geophysical cable is 50 mm. It is not allowed to move the
geophysical cable by pulling it over the surface to avoid exceeding the maximum load
on the spit elements.
4. Do not use the geophysical cable with visible mechanical damage.
5. Do not move the geophysical cable without the cover on the terminal connectors to
prevent moisture and dirt from getting inside, which can lead to equipment damage. It
is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the contact pads on the cable and electrode
connectors (clips).
