Suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor conditions, the Fluke 1623-2 is a high accuracy earth ground tester with built-in memory, four different testing methods and several other useful features.
This tester is capable of performing 3 and 4 pole fall of potential, earth resistance loop, 4 pole soil resistivity, selective earth ground and stakeless earth ground testing procedures. All of the information from each test can be stored directly on the tester's memory before being ported over to PC using USB connection.
As with all Fluke products, the 1632-2 is robust, reliable and accurate. Its IP56 rating means it can comfortably be used in outdoor conditions and its compact, easy-to-use design makes it perfect for use on the move.
The Fluke 1623-2 GEO is also available in a kit form which comes with more items than included with this standard variation.
