Safety information and explanation of symbols used Safety information and explanation of symbols used ......3 Because the KT63 is a multi function tester used for testing both live and dead Features of the KT63 ..............5 circuits there are different safety issues that apply to the individual functions. Before Special Polarity Test Function.
The enclosure is double insulated Large display > 550V To give the clearest results the KT63 uses a large auto-backlit LCD which makes reading the Protected against over voltage to 550V test results easy even when used in poorly lit areas.
Audible tones Special polarity test function. It is a little known fact that a system can be reverse wired with Line (Phase) to earth/neutral A simple selection of audible tones is used to supplement the visual display. These help the and earth/neutral to Line (Phase).
Overview of the switches and LCD Test lead inputs The test lead input/ output terminals are separated into two groups by the clear sliding interlock cover. When slid to the left (figure 1) the interlock cover exposes only the Blue/Black terminal (marked -) and the Brown/Red terminal (marked +).
The KT63 has a handy feature known as lead nulling that does this calculation for you. A further single press of the test button will suspend measurement.
Insulation Test Function Hands Free Insulation testing To enable the hands free feature simply press the HANDS FREE button once, The ‘HANDSFREE’ Caution annunciator will appear flashing on the LCD and will continue to do so until cancelled by a further press of the HANDS FREE button or by changing the function selector switch.
ACC063 for testing at other points in the When first connected to a mains supply the KT63 will automatically conduct a safety test to circuit. In No-trip mode the 3 colour coded prods/crocodile clips of the test lead should be ensure that the Live, Neutral and Earth conductors are all connected correctly and that the supply voltage is in the acceptable range (207-253V).
To enable the hands free feature simply press the HANDS FREE button once, The The user friendly design of the KT63 simplifies the test process by enabling you to do any of ‘HANDSFREE’ annunciator will appear flashing on the LCD and will continue to do so until these tests by making just two function selections.
Ramp test RCD test procedure The KT63 also includes a diagnostic Ramp test feature. In this mode rather than applying a steady fault current and measuring the time taken for the RCD to trip, the KT63 gradually Select the type and rating of the RCD to be tested with the rotary function selector switch.
Specifications and tolerances The main display shows that the fault current was applied for over 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds) without tripping the RCD. The secondary display confirms that this passes the requirements of the 17 edition. Continuity test range accuracy In the event of the RCD failing the test and tripping within 2 seconds at half the rated current Ranges (Auto Range) Tolerance (@ 20°C)
