THE INSTRUMENT MUST ONLY BE USED BY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS
The MEGGER DET62D Digital Earth Tester is a compact portable instrument designed to
measure earth electrode resistance quickly and accurately. Powered by six LR6 battery
cells, the instrument is very robust and has a tough case moulded in ABS plastic.
The instrument uses the three-terminal method of measurement in which the 'X' terminal
is connected to the earth electrode under test, and the 'C' and 'P' terminals are connected
to Current and Potential test spikes. Test frequency is 128 Hz to avoid problems from electrical
mains 'Noise'.
Test leads and auxiliary electrode test spikes can be supplied as part of an earth testing
field accessory kit which is available as an option.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Warnings and precautions must be read and
understood before the instrument is
used. They must be observed during use.
The earth spikes, test leads and their
terminations must not be touched if an
installation earth-fault can arise, unless
adequate precautions are taken.
The DET62D must be disconnected while
its battery cells are changed. Replacement
fuses must be of the correct type and rating.
Special precautions are necessary when
'live' earths may be encountered. Isolation
switches and fuses are needed in this
situation.
When working near high tension systems,
rubber gloves and shoes should be worn.
