On page 3, add the following bullet:

Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments without the protective cap installed. The protective cap decreases the possibility of arc flash caused by short circuits.

On page 6, under Operating the Tester Using the Rotary Switch, add the following:

WWarning

Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments without the protective cap installed. The protective cap decreases the exposed probe metal to <4mm. This decreases the possibility of arc flash from short circuits.

On page 45, under General Specifications, add the following to the Safety section:

1654B, 1652C, 1653B specifications

The Fluke 1654B, 1653B, and 1652C are advanced multifunction installation testers designed for the electrical testing industry, providing reliable measurement tools for electrical engineers, contractors, and technicians. Each model boasts unique features and capabilities that cater to various testing needs.

The Fluke 1654B is the flagship model in this series, equipped with an impressive array of features. It supports automatic testing of RCDs, allowing users to quickly and safely verify residual current devices. The 1654B also includes a 1000V insulation resistance tester and a comprehensive set of earth testing functions. One of its standout characteristics is the ability to perform multiple tests in a single sequence, streamlining the testing process. Additionally, the Fluke 1654B can store up to 1000 test results, which can be easily transferred to a computer for analysis and reporting through the Fluke DMS software.

The Fluke 1653B, while slightly less feature-rich than the 1654B, still offers exceptional testing capabilities. It includes manual RCD testing, insulation resistance testing, and earth resistance measurements. The 1653B is ideal for professionals who require efficient testing without the extensive automation found in the 1654B. It features a large, clear display that enhances readability in various lighting conditions and provides a straightforward interface for users.

On the other hand, the Fluke 1652C is a more compact and cost-effective option, designed primarily for basic installation testing. It still covers the essential features such as insulation resistance testing and RCD tests, making it suitable for smaller projects and less demanding environments. Its lightweight and portable design allow for easy transportation, and it is an excellent choice for electricians who need a straightforward tester without the need for complex features.

All three models utilize Fluke's proven measurement technologies, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. They are built with robust housing designed to withstand harsh working conditions, further enhancing their longevity. The measurement range and capabilities of these testers make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential to industrial environments.

In summary, whether you choose the Fluke 1654B for its comprehensive automation features, the Fluke 1653B for its balanced manual capabilities, or the Fluke 1652C for lightweight simplicity, you are investing in high-quality testing equipment that meets rigorous professional standards while ensuring safety and efficiency in electrical installations.
