The output works. The meters work. You need probes (insulated wire with steel pins tip). Background info from University of Toledo (thank you U of Toledo): The Soiltest R-40 earth resistivity system is powered by a 6-volt battery. Output ranges up to 120 volts, 60 milliamp maximum, as a 57 Hz square wave. The R-40 was designed to measure resistance through an internal bridge.  A pair of 15 meter cables is usually used to transmit current, and a pair of 5 meter cables used to measure potential drop. When necessary, the longer R-60 cables can be used. Electrical resistivity is usually measured by transmitting an electrical current into the earth through a pair of electrodes and measuring the potential drop across a second pair of electrodes. The apparent resistivity of the ground is then calculated by dividing the voltage by the current and multiplying the result by a value determined by array geometry - arrangement of and spacing between electrodes. Because the signal is "AC", electrode polarization presents no problem. Short steel pins driven a few cm into the surface are used for both transmitting current and measuring the potential drop. Schlumberger, Wenner, Lee-partitioning and dipole-dipole configurations have been used with the R-40. The choice of array depends on the nature of the study and the limits of the R-40: Dipole-dipole with the R-40 has been successful only for very shallow imaging at archaeological sites.
