Earth Ground Tester for resistance measurement Kit
The Fluke 1621 is an easy-to-use earth ground tester. For ground resistance testing, the 1621 is the first line of defense in detecting reliable ground connections. The unit features basic ground testing methods including 3-pole Fall-of-Potential as well as 2-pole ground resistance tests. Its convenient size, rugged holster, and large, clear LCD display make it an ideal field earth ground tester, for most electrical grounding work environments. With a simple user interface and intuitive functionality, the Fluke 1621 is a handy grounding tool for electrical contractors, utility test engineers, and earth ground specialists.
3-pole Fall-of-Potential earth testing for basic measurements.
2-pole resistance measurements for added versatility.
Easily capture values with single-button operation.
Ensure accurate measurements with automatic ‘noise’ voltage detection.
Hazardous voltage warning offers increased user protection.
Clearly read and record data with a large, backlit display.
Rugged holster and design for tough work environments.

Note:
[1]If the tester is not going to be used, or is being stored for a long period,
Remove the battery and store separately from the tester to avoid damage from
battery leakage.
Note:
2]The four temperature ranges for the tester exists to satisfy European
Standards requirements; the instrument can be used over the full working
temperature range by using the temperature coefficient to calculate accuracy at
the ambient temperature of use.
