5. Подешавање

5.1 Инсталација батерије

The DY4100A/B requires 6 x AA (No. 5) batteries (not included). To install:

1. Пронађите поклопац одељка за батерије на задњој страни инструмента.
2. Користите шрафцигер да отворите поклопац.
3. Уметните 6 АА батерије, водећи рачуна о исправном поларитету (+/-).
4. Вратите поклопац одељка за батерије и причврстите га завртњем.

5.2 Connecting Test Leads and Earth Spikes

For accurate earth resistance measurements, proper connection of test leads and auxiliary earth spikes is crucial. Refer to the specific measurement method in the operating instructions for detailed connection diagrams.

6. Упутство за употребу

6.1 Општи кораци мерења

1. Ensure the instrument is clean and in good working condition.
2. Поставите свеже батерије.
3. Select the desired measurement function using the rotary dial.
4. Connect the test leads and auxiliary earth spikes according to the specific measurement method.
5. Притисните тастер ТЕСТ дугме за покретање мерења.
6. Очитајте вредност мерења на ЛЦД екрану.
7. After measurement, turn the rotary dial to the OFF position.

6.2 Earth Resistance Measurement (2-pole or 3-pole method)

The DY4100A/B supports 2-pole and 3-pole earth resistance measurements. For 3-pole measurement, connect the test leads as follows:

• Connect the green lead to the 'E/COM' terminal and to the earth electrode under test.
• Connect the yellow lead to the 'S' terminal and to the potential auxiliary earth spike (P1).
• Connect the red lead to the 'ES' terminal and to the current auxiliary earth spike (C1).
• Ensure the auxiliary earth spikes are driven into the ground at appropriate distances from the earth electrode under test (typically 5-10 meters apart).
• Select the appropriate resistance range (e.g., 20Ω, 200Ω, 2000Ω) using the function dial.
• Притисните тастер ТЕСТ button. The measured earth resistance will be displayed.

6.3 Soil Resistivity Measurement (DY4100B only)

The DY4100B model is capable of measuring soil resistivity (ρ). This typically involves the Wenner method using four earth spikes.

• Ensure the spacing 'a' between the spikes is consistent.
• Select the soil resistivity function on the dial.
• Input the spike spacing 'a' if required by the instrument (refer to specific DY4100B manual for input method).
• Притисните тастер ТЕСТ button. The soil resistivity (ρ) will be calculated and displayed.
