KYORITSU KEW 4300 Simplified Earth Tester (Made In THAILAND)

Description

KYORITSU KEW 4300 Simplified Earth Tester (Made In THAILAND) The KYORITSU KEW 4300 Simplified Earth Tester (Made In THAILAND) is a handheld, simplified earth resistance tester designed for quick, two-pole measurements using existing earth electrodes (e.g. buried water pipes or building lightning rods). Its compact body houses a rotary range switch and an integral LED work‐light that automatically adapts to ambient brightness, making it ideal for field use in dimly lit areas. Employing a constant-current fall-of-potential method, the tester injects a small AC current (≈1.4 mA at 825 Hz on the 200 Ω range; ≈0.7 mA at 825 Hz on the 2000 Ω range) between the H(C) and E terminals, then measures the voltage drop to calculate “Rx + re.” The result earth resistance plus any existing earth electrode resistance is displayed instantly; deduct any known “re” to obtain true “Rx”. Built to withstand indoor environments up to 2000 m altitude, the KEW 4300 features a protective finger-guard, glow-in-the-dark TEST button, and a warning buzzer that sounds below 100 Ω. Its backlit LCD auto-shuts after 2 minutes, and the instrument powers off after 10 minutes of inactivity, preserving two AA alkaline cells. A live-circuit LED warns if line voltage exceeds 30 V during resistance measurement. Features: 2-pole earth resistance tester using existing electrodes (fall-of-potential). Auto-ranging: 200 Ω / 2000 Ω. Small test current (max 2 mA) avoids tripping ELBs. Warning buzzer for readings ≤ 100 Ω. Live-circuit warning LED at ≥ 30 V. Automatic LED work-light with ambient sensor. Backlight auto-off (≈2 min); auto-power-off (≈10 min). Glow-in-the-dark TEST button for low-light use. Protective finger-guard for safety. User-replaceable metal tips (3 types).
