Fluke’s multi-function installation tester

August 2016 Electrical Power & Protection

Comtest has introduced the new 1660 series multifunction installation testers that help prevent damage to connected appliances. Insulation PreTest, Fluke Connect compatibility and Auto Test are the three standout capabilities of this new family of instruments.

Insulation PreTest prevents users from making potentially serious and costly mistakes. If the tester detects that an appliance is connected to the system under test, it will stop the insulation test and provide a visual warning. This helps eliminate accidental damage to peripheral equipment.

ShareLive Calling allows communication of test results while the user is in the field. FlukeCloud storage records results without mistakes.

Auto Test for faster installation reduces test time up to 40%, as well as reducing potential errors.

The Series comprises:

• Fluke 1664 FlukeConnect is an installation tester that helps prevent damage to connected appliances, and allows users wirelessly to share results from the field.

• Fluke 1663 is ideal for professional users, features high-end functionality and advanced measurement capability, while still being easy to use. Operation is intuitive and easily mastered by all levels of field workers.

• Fluke 1662 is a solid, basic installation tester, giving the user reliability, simple operation and all the testing power needed for basic installation testing.
