NOTE: Do
not rotate the driving sleeve during the
work.5 times the
line length already driven down.
3. Measurement ground resistance. When the appropriate
value reached, driving interrup-
ted and the last extension tube is
withdrawn (and can therefore be
reused).
If the stone does not shatter after about
10 seconds, you must start over.
In the event interrupted driving, start
again distance least 1.

What are the soil conditions?
Normal and loose soil steel pipe 17

into the hardened tip with the leading

Practical advice:
1. The earth line locked the hardened
steel tip with the leading rod. Preferably measure the earthing resi-
stance continuously while driving down
the earth line. 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.11:3

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. Determine the soil resistivity.
5. heavier soil/at greater depth, a
power hammer should used.
• earthing resistance can measured
continuously. Based on
that and the maximum earthing resistan-
ce can estimated how much line is
needed.
Driving starts.

• the extension rods are fitted with a
