Kewtech KT66DL screens and functions

[@Tryingtimes007]

As a Megger fan boy, Kewtech are really upping their game 👍 the problem is, when you know your tester inside & out, it’s literally impossible to test with anything else, without a crash course 😅

[@scabthecat]

Always had Metrel but to upgrade now means touch screen menus. Not happening. Just bought one of these.

[@jonathanstephens7804]

I have had the KT64DL for about 12 years and its just starting to play up. They look very similar size wise. Considering one of these, not too keen on the colour though lol

[@gwizard12]

I have one of these so far a great bit of kit and yes I am also thinking of EV for future use.

[@highgatehandyman6479]

Its an amazing tester.

[@garyh303]

Great video mate keep them coming would be nice to see some on site videos 👌🏻

[@Kernozenko]

Hi. Great Video. Could you tell me what the battery options are for this tester? I see the comparable Metrel one has rechargeable but cannot find any info on this tester apart from that it comes with batteries. thanks

[@sibomb3423]

I'm glad you've done this video very good and makes it simple and easy to understand and use. 👏 My mind's made up. How does it test ev ie is there an auto function

[@guvnor0011]

Hi Richie I’ve just bought one after this video it seems future proof compared to its competitors just notice in the comments can you like this to an iPad via Bluetooth if so how, would love to see that function work, look forward to hearing from you, Cheers bud

[@richiegtridentelectrics9635]

Hi Guvnor. I believe you can link it to an IPad via blue tooth. I haven’t yet but intend to. I suspect you connect through your EICR software such as I-certify or Napit mobile, if I get a chance this week I’ll have a look just snowed under at the moment.

Does the tester have a Bluetooth function do you know?

[@richiegtridentelectrics9635]

@@guvnor0011 you’ll be fine. I’ve been an electrical engineer 22 years but domestic testing was new to me. As long as you understand the principles the best advice I can give is have a plan and stick to it. Wright a step by step guid if you have to.

Hi, great video. I brought one of these yesterday, I really like it seems really simple to use. Just can't understand what the touch pad is for?? Any ideas?

[@richiegtridentelectrics9635]

Good question Ben I don’t use it but think you can scroll down results page with it.

What’s it for?

[@grahamlush8185]

Hi, great video. Would you be able to test trip times on EV charger to show what values to expect? Thanks

[@richieg628]

I’m doing a charger this week so will try to remember. 👍

[@grahamlush8185]

Thanks, the reason I ask I have the exact same tester but I’m getting very high trip times when I test the 6mA DC side ONLY of the RCD! Thanks

[@user-yd2eb5ij7f]

Hi mate, looking to buy one of them for my first tester like future proof. Do you recommend it and how u get on whit him. Thanks bro

[@tomekb9511]

Hello, kt 117 is a good meter, please give me feedback and I can't find a test

[@marcospetarnella7509]

Hi Richie, great video thank you for sharing that. I'm just getting in the industry and looking to buy my first multifunction tester. I've been looking into the available options and I know I probably should start with a simpler and cheaper tester but looking to the future ahead and considering I want to move into installing EV chargers and Solar panel I'm thinking better to spend more money now then buying a cheaper option now and having to upgrade later which might end up costing me more. What is your opinion on this? and How you finding the KT66DL now that you have used for a few weeks? Thank you.

[@richiegtridentelectrics9635]

Hi Marcos. It sounds like we are of similar opinion and situations. I’ve been an electrical engineer for 23 years so lots of experience with lots of tech and measuring instruments but am just starting in pure domestic electrics. The same as you I wanted to keep it simple but also have always worked on the Buy cheep but twice motto. My justification for the Kewtech was that the Mega version with EV charging was the same price and you get the 1741 which is good but years old. The Metrel version just seemed a step too far with pure touch screen etc. I’ve been using this just over a month and I’d say it’s the perfect Balance of enough new tech with the robustness of a dial the EV charge tester is so simple to use and not that you’ll need them but the help screens are great if your doing a test your not used to. I need to get set up with bluetooth to the iPad next to speed up testing. I honestly can’t fault it.

@@richiegtridentelectrics9635 hi Richie, you've mentioned Bluetooth? Does this mean we can do the tests and it transfers the data over to an app or software? Never seen the spec list list Bluetooth. Thanks

@@apacalips2002 my apologies, this was an assumption on my part as it comes with software but further digging has revealed there is no blue tooth capability.

Not with the ones supplied.

how do you do a Ze test with the kewtech 66dl

Exactly the same way as any other tester.

Not sure what you mean. You pump 500v down the cables and get a reading.
