Product Information
Full details
The KEWTECH KT115 Digital Multimeter is designed for electrical contractors and everyday users needing reliable AC/DC current and voltage measurements. Its key benefit is a comprehensive feature set for common electrical tasks, though its 300V CAT. III rating means it's best suited for lower-voltage applications. This DMM offers auto/manual ranging, capacitance measurement, frequency, diode testing, and a data hold function, all powered by easily replaceable AA batteries with a sleep mode to conserve power.

FAQs
What is the maximum voltage the KT115 can measure?
The KT115 can measure AC/DC voltage up to 600V.
Can this multimeter measure DC current?
Yes, the KT115 can measure both AC and DC current up to 10A.
What does the 'Data Hold' function do?
The 'Data Hold' function freezes the current reading on the display, allowing you to record it without needing to keep the test leads connected to the live circuit.
How does the sleep feature work?
The sleep feature automatically turns off the multimeter after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power. The device can be woken up by pressing any button or turning the dial.
What safety categories does the KT115 meet?
It complies with IEC61010-1 and has safety ratings of CAT. III 300V and CAT. II 600V.
Can I measure capacitance with this multimeter?
Yes, the KT115 includes a capacitance measurement function.
What type of batteries does the KT115 use?
It is supplied with and uses 2x AA batteries.
Troubleshooting
Device does not power on
Ensure the AA batteries are correctly inserted with proper polarity. Check if the batteries are depleted and replace them if necessary. Ensure the battery compartment cover is securely closed.
Inaccurate or no readings
Verify that the test leads are firmly plugged into the correct input jacks for the measurement type. Ensure the dial is set to the correct function and range. Check the test lead continuity and condition; replace if damaged. Ensure the object being measured is within the multimeter's specifications.
Continuity buzzer not sounding
Make sure the dial is set to the continuity (buzzer symbol) function. Ensure the test leads are connected correctly and making good contact with the circuit. Verify the circuit is actually continuous; if resistance is too high, the buzzer may not activate.
Display shows 'OL' or '1'
This indicates that the measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range if using manual ranging, or allow the auto-ranging function to select a higher range. If the reading persists, the value may be beyond the maximum measurable limit for the selected function.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile for common electrical tasks with AC/DC voltage and current.
- Includes useful secondary functions like capacitance and frequency measurement.
- Offers both auto and manual ranging for user preference.
- Data hold function simplifies recording measurements.
- Battery-saving sleep mode increases operational time.
- Complies with safety standards.
Cons
- Limited to CAT. III 300V, making it less suitable for higher-voltage industrial applications.
- The display count of 4000 may be insufficient for highly precise laboratory work.
- Relies on AA batteries, which need periodic replacement.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Insert the two included AA batteries into the battery compartment located on the back of the multimeter. Ensure correct polarity.
- Connect the test leads: Insert the black test lead into the COM jack and the red test lead into the appropriate jack for the measurement (VΩmA for voltage, resistance, current up to 400mA, or 10A for higher current measurements).
- Turn the dial to the desired measurement function (e.g., AC Voltage, DC Current, Resistance).
- Select auto or manual ranging as needed.
Compatibility:
- The KT115 is compatible with standard electrical testing scenarios within its safety ratings (CAT. II 600V, CAT. III 300V).
- It is suitable for use with most common electrical systems found in residential and light commercial settings.
Care:
- Keep the multimeter clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
- Inspect test leads regularly for damage and replace if necessary.
- Store the multimeter in a dry, safe place when not in use.
- Remove batteries if the device will be stored for an extended period to prevent leakage.
