Description
This meter has been designed to measure both surface resistance and resistance to
ground. To measure surface material place the meter on the area to be tested and
press the test button. For measuring resistance to ground, place the ground
lead into the earth leakage socket, connect the crocodile clip to the area to be tested
and press the test button.
The meter will test conductive, static dissipative and insulative surfaces using two
parallel bars set to give Ohms per square readings. Conductive is indicated by green
LEDs from 10³ – 105, static dissipative by yellow LEDs from 106– 10¹¹
and insulative by red LEDs 10¹²+.

Operation
Remove battery panel and insert PP3 Alkaline battery. To check the battery, hold down the unit in the air and press the test
button, the red LED should show (insulative). Place the meter onto the surface, ensuring the probes are touching the area to
be tested and press the test button. The LED that is illuminated shows the relevant results in Ohms per square.
Checking Resistance to Ground
Insert the grounding lead into the earth leakage socket and connect the crocodile clip to the ground connection. Place the
meter onto the surface being tested, and hold down the test button. The measurement will show the resistance to ground in
Ohms rather than Ohms per square.
