Fluke 6500 PAT Tester w/ Free DMS Software

Professional-grade PAT testing instrument with memory, download and full QWERTY keyboard

An upgraded version of Fluke's 6200 PAT tester, the Fluke 6500 incorporates all of the functionality of the other model and builds upon it to create one of the best PAT testers available on the market today.

The 6500-2 is an upgrade to the original Fluke 6500. New features include:

Insulation testing at 250V DC
RCD testing
Full colour screen
USB ports for printing and flash drives
110V appliance testing

With a range of functions built directly into the tester designed to enhance the testing experience and make life easier, this professional PAT tester ensures that less time is spent testing and more time is spent increasing productivity. Tests are incredibly simple to perform thanks to dedicated, one-touch buttons, built-in memory allows storage of a large amount of measurement data with direct download to PC (no more jotting down test results!) and the built-in full QWERTY keyboard makes it easy to manage and amend stored data.

The 6500 includes a large suite of testing procedures, ensuring compliance with the IET Code of Practice at all times. This tester is capable of performing protective earth resistance, insulation, protective earth conductor current, touch current, substitute leakage current, appliance power (kVA) and appliance load current procedures with each test assigned to an individual button for ease of use.

Exclusive features that are found only on this tester include the abilitity to download to PC, a graphical LCD display with help diagrams, compact flash card receptacle, auto-testing procedures, programmable PASS/FAIL level indicators, real time clock and front panel results management.
