fluke 1651b tester

[kfelec]

just got the fluke 1651b test kit( new)

when i use the non trip mode im getting high readings is this a setting problem ive used another test kit and got correct results but when i use the fluke its about 15 ohms out #

any ideas

sounds like it needs recalibrating or just decent batteries!! i have the 1651 and yes it gives some wonderfully strange readings when the batteries are low

the batteries are brand new duracell

its strange because i put a link on the rcd to bypass it and put the meter on normal high current mode and the results were spot on
