Make sure that the line maintains the

• earthing resistance can measured
continuously.
Driving starts.
If the stone does not shatter after about
10 seconds, you must start over.

Structure and operation the system
Elpress systems consist the
following parts:
• hardened steel tip
• leading rod
• extension rod
• driving sleeve/impact sleeve
• earth line (not supplied Elpress)
This feature simple
• the earth line inserted into the
hardened steel tip and clamped the
leading rod.
2. NOTE: Do
not rotate the driving sleeve during the
work.
4.
Practical advice:
1. Measurement ground resistance.
3.
5. Resistivity different soil conditions. Start the driving locking the line
into the hardened tip with the leading
rod.
3.
In the event interrupted driving, start
again distance least 1.
• the extension rods are fitted with a
guide pin, which during work pushed
into the preceding rod.
1. Preferably measure the earthing resi-
stance continuously while driving down
the earth line. Splicing and bran-
ching the earth line contact crimped

branching sleeves and tools. mm² line should folded double

value reached, driving interrup-
ted and the last extension tube is
withdrawn (and can therefore be
reused). loose soil, a

2. Based on
that and the maximum earthing resistan-
ce can estimated how much line is
needed. Plan the earth connection.
Hard and rocky soil- steel rod mm
(type HD) should used. does not, there are the following
possibilities:
- more rods than line required; the rod
may have been bent and then runs
parallel the surface the soil and the
line does not follow the pipe through the
ground.
What are the soil conditions?
Normal and loose soil steel pipe 17

- both stop; stone rock has been found. The earth line locked the hardened
steel tip with the leading rod.5 times the
line length already driven down.
- the rod continues and the line stops; the
line has come loose and can pulled up
or the tip has folded
