    If the two values coincide, the total resistance is acceptable (impedance test) and the electric circuit is satisfactory . If the actual value is less than the set value, this indicates that the electrical resistance in the external circuit is too high. The cause must be found e. g. adhesive electrode too dry , skin resistance too high, broken cabl ...
