Principle of Operation
Soil Resistivity Measurement: Four pole - Wenner Method A constant current with low frequency (128Hz) is
passed to current terminal The voltage across potential terminals P1& P2 is
measured Soil Resistivity is calculated using formula ρ = 2пaR

Operating Procedure
Soil Resistivity Measurement Install four terminals in the ground equally spaced
in a straight line Using the connecting cables, connect the E, P1,
P2 and C terminals to the corresponding electrodes.
Press the SET button and read the digital display. Record the reading at the appropriate location Using the obtained R-value, calculate the value of
resistivity (ρ), which is represented by the units of Ω-m (Ohm-Meter)
