General Guidelines for Testing

 Use both 5-pound electrodes for RTT (Resistance between two points) testing.

 Use one 5-pound electrode and one lead to a groundable point for RTG (Resistance to

Ground) testing.

 Use the optional resistivity adapter sled (removing leads and electrodes) for Resistivity

measurements.

 Make sure that the item being measured is electrically isolated (i.e. placed on an insulative

surface) as the meter will measure the lower resistance path.

 Make sure that the test leads are separated or the meter may measure the lower resistance

path

 When using the 5-pound electrodes:

o Place the electrodes no closer than 2 inches from edge of surface being measured.

o Place the electrodes no closer than 3 inches to any groundable point

o Preferred placements include: most commonly used surface portion, most worn,

center, and furthest from a groundable point.

o For RTG, connect the sensing lead with shielded plug to the groundable point.

 If the surface has sections (like tile flooring or garment panels), for RTT place the electrodes

on different sections.
