Arrange parallel earth
connection necessary.
Driving starts. loose soil, a
sledgehammer and impact stud suffi-
cient. Measurement ground resistance. Based on
that and the maximum earthing resistan-
ce can estimated how much line is
needed.
Practical advice:
1. Make sure that the line maintains the
same speed down into the soil the
rod.
• earthing resistance can measured
continuously. Plan the earth connection. When the appropriate
value reached, driving interrup-
ted and the last extension tube is
withdrawn (and can therefore be
reused). 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. Start the driving locking the line
into the hardened tip with the leading
rod.
2. Determine the soil resistivity.
If the stone does not shatter after about
10 seconds, you must start over. heavier soil/at greater depth, a
power hammer should used.5 times the
line length already driven down.
In the event interrupted driving, start
again distance least 1. Splicing and bran-
ching the earth line contact crimped
by means Elpress through connectors or
branching sleeves and tools. Resistivity different soil conditions.
1. NOTE: Do
not rotate the driving sleeve during the
work.
.
4.
- the rod continues and the line stops; the
line has come loose and can pulled up
or the tip has folded.
What are the soil conditions?
Normal and loose soil steel pipe 17
mm sufficient.
Hard and rocky soil- steel rod mm
(type HD) should used.
3. mm² line should folded double
before the tip attached.
5.
• the extension rods are fitted with a
guide pin, which during work pushed
into the preceding rod. The earth line locked the hardened
steel tip with the leading rod. parallel
earth connection possible?
2.
- both stop; stone rock has been found.

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. Preferably measure the earthing resi-
stance continuously while driving down
the earth line
