ERICO ERITECH®
Earth / Ground Resistance Tester Kits


A complete range of Ground / Earth Resistance Testers

 

Applications

ERICO® Inc. along with LEM Instruments Inc. are pleased to offer a complete range of Ground / Earth Resistance Testers to meet the requirements of every user. The units are lightweight and portable for ease of use in the field. Their robust design and splash-proof construction help them withstand extreme conditions. The units' large LCD display shows required test connections and features a complete automatic test sequence for selected operations.

Three units are offered in the range. No matter what the application, there is sure to be an Earth Tester suited to fit your many diverse ground/earth measuring needs.
