EARTH RESISTANCE & RESISTIVITY TESTER
Earth Resistance & Resistivity Tester
- Earth resistance measurement with six ranges covering measurements from 0.001 Ω to 200 kΩ
- Earth resistivity (ρ) measurement is automatically calculated after having set the distance between Auxiliary Earth Spikes (Wenner method)
- Automatic and Manual selection of the Test Current Frequency in four bands of 94/105/111/128Hz
In Automatic mode KEW 4106 will select the most suitable Frequency - Advanced Filtering method (based on FFT Fast Fourier Transform) reduces noise interference for obtaining stable measurements
- Up to 800 measurement results can be saved in the memory and recalled on the display
- The stored results can be transferred to a PC by using USB adapter (MODEL 8212-USB) and the special software "KEW Report"
- Robust design with IP54 protection
