Robin and Fluke joined forces in 1999 to become the largest supplier of hand-held test and measurement
equipment in Europe. These breakthrough products are the result of a combined experience of over 50
years in instrument design and development.
The 1650 Series testers verify the safety of electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial
applications. They can ensure that fixed wiring is safe and correctly installed to meet the requirements of
IEC 60364 and BS 7671 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations.
The unique ergonomic design, low weight, and padded neck-strap to free your hands, make operating a
1650 Series multifunction tester a pleasure. With easy-to-operate controls and a large display with
exceptionally wide viewing angle, it’s also comfortable and safe to use.
Select from two models
1652
1652: Performs all basic installation tests including
continuity/insulation/loop impedance, RCD tripping time,
RCD tripping current level and RCD auto-testing
1653: As 1652 but with earth resistance and phase sequence
measurement. Has internal memory and a PC interface for
documentation and reporting

Learn in minutes, test in seconds.
Save time on every installation.
• Easy: simply turn the knob, press the button and
see the results
• Efficient: measure loop impedance without tripping
RCDs, eliminating the need to bypass them
• Rugged: withstands a one-meter drop for
demanding field use.
• Safe: slim probe with test button keeps your eyes
on the panel while probing hard to reach points
• Comfortable: compact and lightweight (less than
1.2 kg) for all day testing
• Compliant: meets all relevant standards including
BS EN 61557
The unique curved shape, ergonomic control layout and
padded neck-strap ensure comfort in use.

Slim probe design
Thanks to its slim probe with integral test
button, you can safely make one-handed
measurements on hard to reach points,
while keeping your eyes on the panel.
Professional reports
Up to 500 test results can be
stored in the 1653 installation
tester. The data stored for each
measurement consists of the test
function, user selectable test
conditions and unique references.
Model 1653 has an IR port and adaptor to enable the results to
be uploaded to a computer for preparing professional reports
using (optional) FlukeView™ Forms software. Reports can easily
be customized to suit individual requirements. Standard formats
are also available.
