Description
Kyoritsu KEW 4105DL EARTH TESTER
The Kyoritsu KEW 4105DL is a rugged, handheld digital earth tester designed to assess ground resistance and earth voltage in a variety of settings. Housed in an IP67-rated, dust- and waterproof enclosure, it withstands harsh outdoor environments and can be washed clean after muddy field use. Six AA cells power the unit, and an automatic power-off feature conserves battery life when idle.
Internally, the tester employs the fall-of-potential method: it injects a stable AC current between the earth electrode under test and a remote spike, then measures the resulting voltage drop to calculate resistance. A large backlit LCD displays true-RMS voltage (AC/DC auto-detect) up to 300 V and earth resistance from 0.00 Ω to 2099 Ω, with clear over-range and warning indicators.
Ergonomically shaped for two-hand operation, the KEW 4105DL features a rotary range switch, a dedicated TEST button with LED feedback, and status LEDs for spike integrity and high earth-voltage warnings. The KEW 4105DLBT variant adds Bluetooth® (v5.0) for remote monitoring via the free “KEW Smart” app, enabling data logging and location tagging on tablets.
Features:
- Meets IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-030 CAT II 300 V / CAT III 150 V / CAT IV 100 V, Pollution degree 3 and IEC 61557-1, -5 safety standards.
- Dust- and waterproof to IP67 (washable).
- Backlit LCD with auto-off after 2 min; auto-power-off after 10 min of inactivity.
- Shoulder-strap design for hands-free operation.
- AC/DC earth-voltage measurement with auto-detect and high-voltage warning LED.
- Three-range earth-resistance measurement (0 Ω–2000 Ω) with auxiliary‐spike check LED.
- Built-in comparator function to flag values exceeding user thresholds.
- Bluetooth® communication (KEW 4105DLBT only) for remote monitoring and data saving.
