Unspool 25 meters of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal C1 on the Megger.
Unspool another 25 meters of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal P1 on the Meter.
Tightly twist the open ends of the two 25 meter wires together and clamp to a bolt or flange on the well head
(use vice grips or a C clamp do not use alligator clip, spring clip or spring clamp).
Unspool 200 meters (typical) of #14 AWG. Connect one end to terminal C2 on the Meter.
Unspool another 200 meters (typical) of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal P2 on the Meter.
Tightly twist the open ends of the two 200 meter wires together and clamp to the same bolt or flange on the
wellhead (use vice grips or a C clamp do not use alligator clip, spring type clamp).
Measure the resistance with the Meter. Record the resistance measured as shown on the meter. It will
typically be less than 0.009 ohms.

Procedure to measure the resistance of the drill stem, or test anode, or anode bed:
Unspool 25 meters of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal C1 on the Meter.
Unspool another 25 meters of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal P1 on the Meter.
For Drill Stem , twist the open ends of the two 25 meter wires together and clamp to the frame of the drill
truck (use vice grips or a C clamp do not use alligator clip, spring clip or spring clamp).
For test anode resistance measurement, clamp the two wires to the end of the test anode cable
instead of the drill truck.
For anode bed resistance measurement, clamp these two wires to the bus bar in the anode
junction box instead of the drill truck.
Unspool 200 meters (typical) of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal C2 on the Meter.
Unspool another 200 meters (typical) of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal P2 on the Meter.
Twist the open ends of the two 200 meter wires together and clamp to a bolt or flange on the wellhead (use
vice grips or a C clamp do not use alligator clip, spring clip or spring clamp)

Unspool 25 meters of #14 AWG wire. Connect one end to terminal P1 on the Meter.
Twist the open ends of the two 25 meter wires together and clamp to one end of the anode (use vice grips or
a C clamp do not use alligator clip, spring clip or spring clamp).
Uncoil the test anode cable and loop the cable end back towards the meter in a single loop.
Connect terminals C2 and P2 of the Meter to one of the strands of copper from the end of the cable.
