the local environmental rules.
If in doubt, contact your local waste disposal authorities.
Thank you for buying the AVM52ERT ! Please read the manual carefully before bringing this
device into service.
The modern design limits the influence of the earth voltage and the earth resistance of
auxiliary earth bars to a minimum.
Press the BATT.CHECK button to test the auxiliary earth resistance and the connection
cable. The OK lamp lights up when the device is ready to perform accurate earth resistance
measurements.
Low power consumption : max. 12V/100mA.
Push buttons allow smooth operation of the device.
The earth resistance value can be read directly from the scale.
You only need to press the SIMPLIFIED MEAS. button for simplified measurements. No
shorting wire is required since terminals P and C can be shorted internally simply by
pressing this button.
Battery replacement is easy.
The carrying case in hard plastic is water-resistant and accommodates all accessories.
