The KEW6016 incorporates Anti Trip Technology (ATT) which electronically bypasses
RCDs when performing loop impedance tests. This saves time and money by not having
to take the RCD out of the circuit during testing and is a safer procedure to follow.
With the ATT function enabled , a test of 15mA or less is applied between line & earth.

1. SAFE TESTING
Electricity is dangerous and can cause injury and death. Always treat it with the
greatest of respect and care. If you are not quite sure how to proceed, stop and
take advice from a qualified person.
1 This instrument must only be used by a competent and trained person and operated
in strict accordance with the instructions. KYORITSU will not accept liability for any
damage or inj
the safety procedures.
2 It is essential to read and to understand the safety rules contained in these
instructions. They must always be observed when using the instrument.
3 This instrument is designed to work in distribution systems where the line to earth
has a maximum voltage of 300V 50/60Hz and for some ranges where line to
has a maximum voltage of 500V 50/60Hz.
Be sure to use it within this rated voltage.
For use in the continuity testing and insulation testing modes this instrument must
be used ONLY on circuits which are de-energized.
4 When conducting tests do not touch any exposed metalwork associated with the
installation. Such metalwork may become live for the duration of the test.
5 Never open the instru
this case disconnect all leads first) because dangerous voltages are present. Only
fully trained and competent electrical engineers should open the case. If a fault
develops, return the instrument to your distributor for inspection and repair.
6 If the overheat symbol appears in the display disconnect the instrument from the
mains supply an
7 If abnormal conditions of any sort are noted (such as a faulty display, unexpected
readings, broken case, cracked test leads, etc) do not use the tester and return it to
your distributor for repair.
8 For safety reasons only use accessories (test leads, probes, fuses, cases, etc)
designed to be used with this instrument and recommended by KYORITSU. The
use of other accessor
features.
9 When testing, always be sure to keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the
test leads.
10 During testing it is possible that there may be a momentary degradation of the
reading due to the presence of excessive transients or discharges on the electrical
system under test. Should this be observed, the test must be r

11 Do not operate the function selector while the instrument is connected to a circuit.
If, for example, the instrument has just completed a continuity test and an insulation
test is to follow, disconnect the test leads from the circuit before moving the selector
switch.
12 Do not rotate rotary switch when test button is depressed. If the function switch is
inadvertently moved to a new function w
down position the test in progress will be halted.
13 Always check the test lead resistance before carrying out tests. This ensures the
leads are ok before taking measurements. The resistance of leads and/or crocodile
clips may be significant when measuring low resistances. If crocodile clips can be
avoided for low resistance measurements, this will redu
