SAFETY INFORMATION
The Meter complies with:
EN 61010-1 3nd Edition, Category III 300 Volts, Pollution degree 2,
IP40 as per EN 60529
EN 61010-2-030
EN 61010-2-31 for test leads
EMC EN 61326-1
EN 61557-1/-2/-3/-4/-6/10
Measurement Category III (CAT III) is for measurements performed in the
building installation. Examples are measurements on distribution boards,
circuit- breakers, wiring, including cables, bus-bars, junction boxes, switches,
socket-outlets in the fixed installation, and equipment for industrial use
and some other equipment, for example, stationary motors with permanent
connection to the fixed installation.

CENELEC Directives
The instruments conform to CENELEC Low-voltage directive 2006/95/EC and
Electromagnetic compatibility directive 2004/108/EC
Warning: Read Before Using
• To avoid possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these
instructions and use the Meter only as specied in this manual.
• Do not use the Tester or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the
Meter is not operating properly. If in doubt, have the Tester serviced.
• Always use the proper function and range for measurements.
• Before rotating the function range selection switch, disconnect test
probe from circuit under test.
• Verify the Tester’s operation by measuring on a known voltage source.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Tester,
between the test probe or between any test probe and earth ground.
• Use the Tester with caution for voltages above 30 Vac rms, 42 Vac peak,
or 60 Vdc. These voltages pose electrical shock hazards.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
testing insulation resistance and continuity.
• Do not use the Tester around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using the test leads, keep your ngers behind the nger guards.
• Remove test leads from the Tester and turn off the Tester before opening
the Tester case or battery door.
• Do not use in distribution systems with voltages higher than 440V AC or
DC.
• Follow the operating manual at all times when using the Tester and have
the operating manual in an easily accessible place.
• Incorrect operation will cause incident and damage to the Tester.
• Before and after testing, conrm that no hazardous voltage at the
terminals presents.

FEATURES
Safety and performance are two most critical requirements for every electrical
system. The quality of insulation, properly working grounding system and
active protection are “must have” to assure safety of the people, electrical
systems and buildings against electrocution, fire, and other equipment
damage. They are critical to prevent loss of productivity due to power
interruption.
Robin-Amprobe KTS1625 is a multifunction installation tester measuring
various parameters of the electrical system to provide complete safety
analysis. It features loop impedance measurements as well as measurement of
continuity and insulation resistance of motors, transformers or wires, testing of
RCD systems, measuring voltage and frequency.
• Insulation Resistance Functions:
- Tests insulation of wires, cables, transformers and electrical motors
- Selectable test voltages 250V, 500V and 1000V
- Test button lock for dielectric absorption ration test
- Automatic discharge of test object after completion of measurement
