Fluke 1673FC Multifunction Tester


The Fluke 1673FC Multifunction Tester provides reliable installation testing, ensuring the safe installation of electrical systems in domestic, commercial, and industrial applications that meet industry standards including IEC/HD 60364-6. With an ergonomic design and easy-to-use interface, the 1673FC is the perfect tool for completing installation testing. With wireless connectivity, the 1673FC allows for data management to be completed to industry standards.


Perform All Required Tests up to 30% Faster
The Fluke 1673FC uses the Auto Test function to enable the complete installation test sequence to be performed at the touch of a button. The integrated help function shows users a visual connection guide. The automatic measurement validation function with user-defined limit warnings compares the test results to the required standards and provides an immediate pass/fail indication. With the elimination of manual testing and automatic measurement validation, the user can perform testing quickly and accurately while increasing productivity. Further testing includes resistance, loop and line impedance, tripping speed, wiring polarity checker, detection of broken PE and N wires, prospective Earth Fault Current (PEFC/IK), and Prospective Short-Circuit Current (PSC/IK). Continuity testing with a low test current (10mA) can also be used to measure motor windings.


The additional high-current loop mode ensures faster measurements than loop tests with non-trip mode for RCD protected circuits. Trip time and current for RCD types AC, A, and F can all be completed in one test, and smooth DC sensitive RCDs (type B and B+) can also be tested. The Fluke 1673FC can be used alongside an adaptor such as the Fluke FEV300 (available separately) to complete testing of EV charging stations, including 6mA DC RCD testing.


The Fluke 1673FC allows for a number of tests to be conducted including Z-max memory for loop tests that allow for the highest loop test value to be analysed. Simultaneous readings of voltage measurements between L-N, L-PE, and N-PE can be conducted using the main cords, eliminating the need to change the measurement connections.


Fluke Connect
The 1673FC is compatible with the Fluke Connect app, allowing for wireless syncing between the tester and a smart device. Using Fluke Connect, data entry errors can be eliminated by saving test measurements directly from the tester and associating them with a work order, report, or asset record. Historical and current measurements can be viewed for each asset, and the data can be shared using ShareLive video calls and emails. Images can also be taken and assigned with notes to ensure detailed visual inspection reports. Data can also be uploaded to the Fluke Cloud, allowing access for colleagues around the world.


Optimized Software and Reporting with Fluke TruTest Software
The 1673FC can be used alongside Fluke TruTest Software (optional extra) to provide simple electrical system data management and reporting. TruTest allows the creation and transfer of data between the software and tester via USB-C or wirelessly to ensure accurate test results. The report builder provides users the ability to quickly format measurement data into printable test certificates and reports, with company logos and signatures also available to be added.


Simplified User Interface and Testing Setup
With a full-color touchscreen and rotary dial, the Fluke 1673FC allows for quick and easy navigation through the display menu, even when operated with safety gloves. The Fluke 1673FC provides users with a streamlined test setup and preparation using the tester's bidirectional user interface. Using hierarchical tree topology for clients, sites, distribution boards, circuits, and test points, users can fully customise settings via the touchscreen, a smart device, or PC. Editing, adding, or deleting information directly on the unit ensures accurate data is captured.
The 1673FC boasts a number of impressive safety features, such as colour-coded input terminals rated at CAT III 600V and CAT IV 300V. It can detect raised voltages from >50V, highlighting potentially dangerous environments. The 1673FC is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged via the USB-C port, allowing for a full day's use in the field.
