•The Kewtech KT1720 is a professional two pole voltage tester. It
incorporates a number of features which make using the tester safer and
easier to use.
•The KT1720 has unique twin (side by side) colour coded voltage LED’s giving
extremely clear and easy to read voltage indication.
•The probes comply fully to the UK HSE GS38 probe tip requirements
ensuring full safety compliance at all times.
•The new ergonomic design is extremely easy and confortable to hold and is
suitable for use with Gauntlets/PPE equipment if required.
•The durable double insulated ultra flexible cable helps prevents tangles and
the generous 1.4m cable length gives the operator greater flexibility in use.
Instructions
Before use, visually check both probes and the cable for any signs of damage -
if damaged, do not proceed.
Clean the unit using a clean, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Always hold the probes behind the finger guard. Never touch an exposed tip
when in use.
Immediately before and after use, check the testers operation on a known
voltage source or a proving unit such as the Kewprove 3.
The tester should never be used on any voltage higher than its 600V category
rating or in environments greater than Measurement Category IV.
The tester must not be used in a manner that is not specified by Kewtech.
Doing so may impair the protection provided by the tester.
Using the tester
The KT1720 voltage tester has been designed to be easy to use and give a
clear indication of the voltage present.
Firmly place the contact tips of the two probes on the voltage source being
measured.
Check which LEDs illuminate - this will indicate the voltage present.
Use in conjunction with a safe isolation procedure.
