Fluke says the best-in-class electrical installation inspection solution represents an evolution in documenting and is set to become “the most important tool in an electrician’s toolbelt”

Eindhoven, Netherlands, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eindhoven, Netherlands. 17th July 2024: Fluke, a global technology leader in the manufacture of compact, professional electronic test and measurement tools and software, has launched the new Fluke 1670 Series Multifunction Installation Tester which can cut by up to 50% the amount of time electricians and maintenance technicians spend producing reports.   

Designed by Fluke to represent the future of installation testing and become “the most important tool in an electrician’s toolbelt”, the innovative Multifunction Installation Tester also enable tests to be carried out up to 30% faster. Available in three models – ideally suited to the needs of residential, commercial and industrial applications – the tools boost productivity through a user programmable AutoTest function that enables electricians to run an entire automatic installation test sequence at the touch of a button.  

Measurement data and metadata from the field are quickly stored, managed and shared using Fluke Connect software while Fluke’s TruTest software simplifies the process of generating documentation. A single click enables inspection reports to be previewed in the field and certificates generated while on-site. Even inspection invoices can be created at the same time. This ability to set up, test, upload and report in an easy, single operation is unique to the Fluke 1670 Series. 

Eliminating data double-entry 

Whether working in residential, commercial or industrial installation commissioning, electricians will welcome being able to eliminate time-consuming double-entry of data. Results will no longer need to be recorded during testing and then entered manually to a computer, a method that is prone to errors and delays. Wireless Bluetooth connectivity on the Fluke 1670 Series solves this problem by automatically linking test results to the circuit or point under test. 

Electricians will also save time by not having to return to a site because key measurements have not been taken or results are found to be incorrect.​ The error-proof Fluke 1670 Series Multifunction Installation Tester show the operator instantly on-site if any tests have been missed. At the same time, automatic measurement validation compares installation test results to an integrated standards reference, delivering an immediate visual indication of pass or fail on the device’s integrated full-colour touchscreen. The clear display includes a full keyboard so there is no requirement for an addition device or laptop to be used for entering notes or editing details. 

Jit Patel, Fluke Product Manager for installation testers states “Electricians can spend a minimum of 25% of their time processing data and creating reports and the Fluke 1670 Series Multifunction Installation Tester simply takes this headache away. As a best-in-class electrical installation inspection solution, this device represents a genuine evolution in documenting. Because it simplifies inspection results and reporting, boosts productivity and increases testing accuracy, we expect the Fluke 1670 Series to become the most important tool in an electrician’s toolbelt.”
