Fluke 1673FC Multifunction Tester

Description

The Fluke 1670 Series Multifunction Installation Testers will revolutionize the way you work. With an ergonomic design, seamless user interface, integrated data management capabilities, wireless connectivity (1673 FC and 1674 FC), and comprehensive reporting software, the 1670 Series sets the new standard for an integrated installation testing solution.

Reliable installation testing is essential for ensuring the safety, optimal functionality, and integrity of a facility’s electrical systems. The 1670 Series’ rugged design allows you to verify the safety of electrical installations in domestic, commercial, and industrial applications while meeting the requirements of IEC/HD 60364-6 and all relevant local installation test standards.

With the 1670 Series, you’ll be able to perform your required testing faster and reduce the time you spend on documentation, all while having the ultimate confidence in the data you’re collecting.

Simplified User Interface and Testing Setup

The 1670 Series takes data management to the next level streamlining test set up and preparation with an advanced bidirectional user interface. When setting up your project, the hierarchical tree topology for clients, sites, distribution boards, circuits, and test points can be easily customized using the high-resolution colour touchscreen, a smart device, or by PC. Edit, add, delete, or modify information directly on the tool as you test to ensure accurate data, or transfer updates to your tester via the Fluke Connect™️ mobile app or TruTest™️ desktop software. Easy-to-read test tables help you quickly see that you are capturing the right measurement data at the right test point, every time. Now you can spend less time setting up your tester and organizing data, giving you more time to perform valuable testing.

Fluke TruTest Software

An intuitive interface and live onscreen dashboard make it quick and simple to see the status of all your clients. Customer information may be inputted directly on the software; uploaded with test results from the 1673FC via a USB-C interface; or downloaded from the Fluke Connect App. A user-friendly report builder formats this data into a test certificate complete with your company logo and signature. Fluke’s TruTest Software allows you to create reports compliant with the following regional standards:

BS7671
DIN VDE 0100-600
ÖVE/ÖNORM 8101
NIN/NIV
NEN3140

It also includes a pre-configured international report template and is updated as necessary to accommodate additional regional standards.

Additionally, Fluke’s TruTest Software can be used with other Fluke instruments, allowing you to manage multiple data sets in one place. As a result, you can incorporate measurements gathered using auxiliary Fluke tools into your reports.

Fluke Connect App

Compatibility with the Fluke Connect App not only reduces documenting time but optimises testing efficiency too. The Fluke Connect App wirelessly synchronises data saved to the Fluke 1673FC to your Cloud storage for fast download to the TruTest Software. Furthermore, photos of faults or assets can be assigned to specific test points along with necessary notes. In addition to this, as the Fluke Connect App is compatible with an array of Fluke Tools, such as the Fluke 1630-2 ground clamp, you can also incorporate data from these auxiliary tools into the test point record, allowing you to provide a clearer picture of a facility’s health.

Finally, to streamline data management and maximise testing efficiency, the Fluke Connect App includes an option to create and upload projects, as well as distribution boards and circuits, to the Fluke 1673FC. These guide you through testing, streamlining testing and data management.

Fluke 1673 Multifunction Tester Kit Options

The Fluke 1673 Multifunction Tester is available as a standalone multifunction electrical tester or as part of a kit.
