Setup and Wiring
Proper wiring is crucial for the correct operation and safety of the device. Please follow the wiring diagram carefully. This meter requires an external shunt for current measurement, which must be purchased separately.
Wiring Diagram
Image: A detailed wiring diagram illustrating how to connect the KETOTEK KT-D138 digital multimeter with an external shunt for accurate voltage and current measurements in a DC circuit.
- Connect the positive terminal of the DC power supply to the red thin wire of the meter.
- Connect the negative terminal of the DC power supply to the black thin wire of the meter.
- Connect the positive terminal of the load to the red thick wire of the meter.
- Connect the negative terminal of the load to one end of the external shunt.
- Connect the other end of the external shunt to the black thick wire of the meter.
- Ensure all connections are secure and correct before applying power. Incorrect wiring can damage the product.
Important: The load cannot exceed the rated voltage and current of the meter (DC 6.5-100V, 100A). This device is designed for indoor use only.
Operating Instructions
Once properly wired and powered on, the meter will display voltage, current, power, and energy readings on its LCD screen. The device has a single button for various functions.

Button Functions:
- Short Press: Toggles the backlight ON/OFF.
- Long Press (3 seconds): Resets the energy (kWh) accumulation. The energy value will flash, then release the button. Press again to confirm reset, or long press again to cancel.
- Setting Voltage Alarm Threshold:
- Press and hold the button for 6 seconds until the voltage value flashes.
- Short press to adjust the alarm voltage value. The value will increase by 0.5V with each press.
- Long press for 3 seconds to save the setting and exit.
The meter will automatically store data when power is removed, ensuring that accumulated energy readings are not lost.
Maintenance
The KETOTEK KT-D138 is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the display and casing. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Environment: Operate the device in a dry, indoor environment. Avoid exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
- Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Loose connections can lead to inaccurate readings or device malfunction.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the meter in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display or incorrect readings. |
|
|
| Current or Power readings are zero/incorrect. |
|
|
| Energy (kWh) value does not reset. | Incorrect button operation. | Refer to the "Operating Instructions" for the correct long-press sequence to reset energy. |
| Backlight not working. | Backlight turned off or device malfunction. | Short press the button to toggle the backlight. If it still doesn't work, the device may be faulty. |
