Fluke 1663 Multifunction Installation Tester

The Fluke 1663 Multifunction Installation Tester is an essential tool for professional installers who require precision and reliability in their measurements. With a compact and lightweight design, weighing less than 1.3 kg, this tester is equipped with a padded strap to facilitate transport during fieldwork. Thanks to its intuitive interface and advanced functionalities, it is ideal for performing quick checks in compliance with current regulations, ensuring precise and reliable results.

Advanced Functionality:

The Fluke 1663 provides a full range of measurement capabilities necessary for the most demanding electrical jobs. Among its most notable features is continuity measurement at L-N, N-PE inputs, earth resistance measurement, and the ability to perform voltage and frequency tests. Additionally, this device offers multiple test voltages, including 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, and up to 1000 V, making it a versatile tool for different types of installations.

The tester is also compatible with DC-sensitive RCDs (Type B) and allows for checks on electric vehicle charging stations. Through its Type B RCD VAR mode, it generates the necessary test currents for Type A-EV or RDC-DD RCDs according to IEC 62955, ensuring efficient verification of 6 mA DC monitors at charging points. This functionality makes it especially useful in the growing electric vehicle industry, providing the ability to perform tests on both traditional systems and charging stations.

TruTest™ Software:

The Fluke 1663 is compatible with TruTest™ software, which facilitates data management and report generation. Whether for fixed wiring installations, electrical devices in offices, or workshop repairs, TruTest™ allows for quick and easy import of results from test instruments, reducing administration time and improving report accuracy. This is particularly valuable for professionals who need to generate detailed reports that can be easily understood by clients.

Other Key Features:

This tester comes with multiple additional functions that facilitate work and enhance safety. Among them is the ability to check cable polarity, detecting potential broken N wires, as well as measuring insulation resistance and loop and line resistance. Additionally, the device is equipped with a Z Max memory, which allows recording the highest value during loop tests, useful for evaluating installation safety.

Another advanced feature is its ability to measure prospective earth fault current (PEFC/IK) and prospective short-circuit current (PSC/IK), as well as the switching time and tripping level of RCDs through ramp tests. The Fluke 1663 also offers an automatic RCD testing sequence, enhancing efficiency and saving time during safety verifications.
