The broken fuse indicator on the LCD will flag if the fuse has blown. It must be replaced with
the correct type
:
Fuse type: F 500mA fast blow ceramic 600V.
The enclosure is double insulated
Protected against over voltage to 550V
For safety reasons the tester is shipped without batteries fitted. To install batteries remove
the two small crosshead screws on the back of the instrument that retain the battery cover
and fit four Alkaline batteries type AA / LR6 in accordance with the polarity shown
.
The KT63 complies fully with the requirements of EN61010.
The following table details the operating ranges for the individual functions compliant with the
performance requirements of EN61557.
Features of the KT63
The KT 63 is packed with design features that maximise both convenience and safety. These
include:
Large display
To give the clearest results the KT63 uses a large auto-backlit LCD which makes reading the
test results easy even when used in poorly lit areas.
Auto shut down
To preserve battery life when not in use the KT63 incorporates an Auto-Off function that
powers the unit down after three minutes of inactivity. To resume use after an Auto shut down
a single press of any of the function buttons will power up the unit.
Battery check
The first position either side of the off position of the rotary selector switch is a battery
check function.
Extended battery life
For simplicity the tester is powered by just four conventional AA (LR6) alkaline batteries. The
KT63 has much lower power consumption than most testers and therefore gives excellent
battery life.
In addition to the battery status indicator that shows on the LCD, when the battery power
is becoming very low the Red warning LED will light to show that imminent replacement is
necessary. Always use Alkaline rather than zinc carbon batteries.
Easy to locate
The test lead inputs are located on the top of the case allowing the tester to stand vertically
or be laid flat. Alternatively the unit can be carried by the supplied neck strap.
Hands Free
Most of the test functions can utilise the Hands-Free mode in which the tester is primed to
automatically start the test as soon as the probes are connected to a circuit, thereby leaving
your hands free to hold the test probes
.
Socket wiring check
To protect both the user and the instrument against harm caused by accidental connection to
an incorrectly wired supply the tester will automatically check the polarity upon connection to
a live supply. If the wiring has been incorrectly connected testing will be inhibited an alarm will
sound with flashing LED.
