Figura 1: Davant view of the Fluke 1653B Multifunction Installation Tester. The device is yellow and black, featuring a large green digital display showing measurement values (e.g., 0.23 Ω and 1000 A). Control buttons such as 'TEST', 'ZERO', 'MEMORY', and function buttons (F1-F4) are visible on the left side, while a rotary dial for selecting measurement modes (e.g., Insulation, Loop, RCD, Earth, Phase Rotation, Volts) is on the right.

2. Configuració

2.1. Instal·lació de la bateria

The Fluke 1653B is battery-powered. Before initial use, or when the low battery indicator appears, ensure fresh batteries are installed. Refer to the battery compartment cover for correct polarity and battery type (typically AA or C cells, depending on the model variant).

  1. Localitzeu el compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior del dispositiu.
  2. Open the battery compartment cover using a screwdriver or coin if necessary.
  3. Insert the required number of batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
  4. Tanqueu de manera segura la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.

2.2. Engegada inicial

Press the green power button (labeled with a circle and vertical line) located near the bottom left of the control panel to turn on the device. The digital display will illuminate and perform a self-test.

3. Instruccions de funcionament

This section provides general guidance for operating the Fluke 1653B. Always refer to the on-screen prompts and safety warnings during operation.

3.1. Selecting a Measurement Function

Use the large rotary dial on the right side of the device to select the desired measurement function. The selected function will be indicated on the display.

  • VOLTS (V.): For measuring AC/DC voltage.
  • INSULATION (RISO): For insulation resistance tests.
  • CONTINUITY (RLO): For low-ohm continuity tests.
  • LOOP (ZL NO TRIP): For loop impedance measurement without tripping RCDs.
  • LOOP (ZL HI CURRENT): For high current loop impedance measurement.
  • ΔT RCD TIME: For RCD trip time measurement.
  • IΔN RCD TRIP: For RCD trip current measurement.
  • RE TERRA: For earth resistance measurement.
  • ROTACIÓ DE FASE: For determining phase sequence.

3.2. Realització d'una prova

Once a function is selected and test leads are connected appropriately, press the large PROVA button (located on the bottom left) to initiate the measurement. The display will show the measurement result.

El ZERO button can be used to null out lead resistance for accurate low-ohm measurements.

3.3. Using Memory Functions

The device includes internal memory for storing measurement values. Use the MEMÒRIA button and the arrow keys to navigate and save readings. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific memory operations.

  • Premeu MEMÒRIA to access memory functions.
  • Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through stored readings or memory locations.
  • Function buttons (F1-F4) may provide additional options related to memory, such as saving, recalling, or deleting data.

3.4. Interfície de PC

The Fluke 1653B features a PC interface for documentation and reporting. Connect the device to a computer using the appropriate cable (sold separately) and use Fluke's software (if applicable) to download and analyze stored data.

4. Manteniment

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Fluke 1653B.

4.1. Neteja
