The Earthing adapter has a 98k ohm resistance inside it for safety reasons.

With multimeters the continuity range usually has a certain resistance threshold in which it considers a wire to be closed. If your resistor is of greater resistance than the threshold on your multimeter, then even though current can flow through it, the meter will not register continuity.

The ohm setting on the multimeter gives you the maximum ohm it can measure up to. For example, 2k (0 to 2000 ohm), 20K (0 to 20,000 ohm), 200K (200,000 ohm), 2m (0 to . 002 ohm). If the resistance is greater than the range setting, it will give a reading of zero.

If you select the Ω symbol setting to 200k it will bypass the resister and give you a reading, not all multimeters have that option as their default is usually set at 20k.

It is a little confusing if you aren’t familiar with using a multimeter. Please, contact us here if you have any questions. 

V~ is the symbol for AC (Alternating Current) This setting is for testing a current that is moving. When testing the bodies volts when grounding, the measurement will go up and down, which means it is an alternating current.

 V─ is the symbol for DC (Direct Current) This setting is looking for a type of current that flows in a single direction without changing polarity. It is often found in batteries and electronic circuits. Using this setting will not give an accurate reading when testing your earthing product. 

A lot of multimeter settings only go to 200 and not 20. It needs to be set at 20 because we are only testing for a low voltage. 

No, all our earthing products do not conduct any electricity. So you can leave your power point at the wall turned on or off, it will make no difference.

The power point switch does not control the earthing outlet, you will still be grounded. 

Yes, they are all designed to connect to the earth outlet.
