Precise measurements are ensured in both 2-pole and 4-pole configurations, with the ability to test ground resistance using included stakes and a 20 m cable. Lightning rod testing is critical for sensitive buildings such as schools and hospitals, ensuring proper lightning discharge with optimal resistance values.
The integrated visual guide simplifies connections by highlighting the correct ports and triggering acoustic or visual alarms in case of errors. The device automatically blocks measurements until all cables are properly connected, minimizing incorrect readings. Stored data can be exported to a PC for further technical analysis.
In addition to resistance, the tester detects parasitic currents, stray voltages, and interference frequencies, making it suitable for advanced diagnostics in electrical systems and grounding installations. The large backlit display ensures readability even in low-light conditions, completing a rugged and functional design for professional use.
