FLUKE introduces 1650B electrical Installation tester series
Friday, Jan 09, 2009
Fluke Corporation, the global leader in handheld electronic test and measurement equipment, has announced the new Fluke 1650B Series of multifunction installation testers. The 1650B Series builds on the rugged performance of the earlier 1650 Series, but it has been redesigned to make testing even more productive. The Fluke 1650B units verify domestic, commercial and industrial electrical installations. They ensure that fixed wiring is safe and correctly installed to meet international standards IEC 60364, HD 384 and UK requirement BS7671, IEE 17th Edition wiring regulations.
Dual display shows two measurements at once
| The 1650B shows two measurements at once on a dual display. For example this can show PEFC/PSC and loop impedance results in parallel negating the requirement to run the tests separately, more than halving the test time of other loop testers. |
| The 1650B series features an additional new high-current loop test which gives extremely fast measurements when testing in circuits where no RCD’s are being used. All the 1650B series offer both non trip and this new high current tests so the user can select depending on the application. |
| In addition there is fast voltage measurement between L-N, L-PE and N-PE using the mains cord, with no need to change measurement connections. |
Easy and safe operation, rugged and lightweight design
| An Earth Volt Touchpad detects earth voltages raised above 50 V to indicate potentially dangerous situations. The instruments are supplied as standard with fused test leads to comply with HSE Guidance note GS38. These latest leads from Fluke have gold plated contacts to ensure reliability and repeatability of testing. The instruments are supplied with SureGrip™ test leads and clips for a comfortable, reliable grip. |
| For ease of use a rotary dial clearly indicates which function is selected, and provides access to all functions in one place to avoid complex multi-level menus. |
| The 1650B withstands a drop from 1 m. It is compact, lightweight (less than 1.2 kg) and has a padded neck-strap to free testers’ hands for all day testing. |
Memory and documenting results
| Equipped with a built-in memory the 1653B can store test results fast and easy on site without any additional device needed. Each stored measurement consists of the test function and user selectable test references like the cabinet and circuit number. Upload the data after testing to a computer for preparing professional reports. |
Complete kit with remote test probe and Zero Adapter
| All 1650B models have detachable standard 4-mm leads that can be replaced if damaged or lost, no customized special connectors. This keeps your instrument operable in case of damaged test leads can be replaced easily with other 4-mm standard accessories. A durable hard case protects the instrument in tough field conditions. |
| A slim probe with test button (1652 & 1653 Only UK) enables initiation of a test without the need to look at or access the front panel, ideal when probing hard to reach points. The remote probe is powered by the tester, and so always available (it needs no additional batteries). |
| A Zero Adapter ensures easy, reliable and accurate test lead and mains cord compensation. The adapter can be used for all kinds of mains plugs and test accessories like probes and alligator clips. |
