The Fluke 1621 is an easy-to-use earth ground tester. For
ground resistance testing, the 1621 is the first line of defence
in detecting reliable ground connections. The unit features
basic ground testing methods including 3-pole Fall-of-Potential CABLE REEL 50 M CABLE REEL 25 M
as well as 2-pole ground resistance tests. Its convenient size, Ground/earth wire Ground/earth wire
rugged holster, and large, clear LCD display make it an ideal
field earth ground tester, for most electrical grounding work
environments. With a simple user interface and intuitive
functionality, the Fluke 1621 is a handy grounding tool for

Note: If the tester is not going to be used, or is being stored for a long period, remove the battery and store separately from
the tester to avoid damage from battery leakage.
The four temperature ranges for the tester exists to satisfy European Standards requirements; the instrument can be
used over the full working temperature range by using the temperature coefficient to calculate accuracy at the ambient
temperature of use. These products are for unpowered installations measuring grounding connections.
