2. Tatūnga
2.1. Tāuta Pūhiko
The Fluke 1653B is battery-powered. Before initial use, or when the low battery indicator appears, ensure fresh batteries are installed. Refer to the battery compartment cover for correct polarity and battery type (typically AA or C cells, depending on the model variant).
- Rapua te wahanga pākahiko kei muri o te taputapu.
- Open the battery compartment cover using a screwdriver or coin if necessary.
- Insert the required number of batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Me tino kati te taupoki o te waahanga o te papahiko.
2.2. Hia Tuatahi
Press the green power button (labeled with a circle and vertical line) located near the bottom left of the control panel to turn on the device. The digital display will illuminate and perform a self-test.
3. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
This section provides general guidance for operating the Fluke 1653B. Always refer to the on-screen prompts and safety warnings during operation.
3.1. Selecting a Measurement Function
Use the large rotary dial on the right side of the device to select the desired measurement function. The selected function will be indicated on the display.
- VOLTS (V.): For measuring AC/DC voltage.
- INSULATION (RISO): For insulation resistance tests.
- CONTINUITY (RLO): For low-ohm continuity tests.
- LOOP (ZL NO TRIP): For loop impedance measurement without tripping RCDs.
- LOOP (ZL HI CURRENT): For high current loop impedance measurement.
- ΔT RCD TIME: For RCD trip time measurement.
- IΔN RCD TRIP: For RCD trip current measurement.
- RE WHENUA: For earth resistance measurement.
- TE WHAKATAUTANGA WAHA: For determining phase sequence.
3.2. Te Whakamatau
Once a function is selected and test leads are connected appropriately, press the large WHAKAMAHI button (located on the bottom left) to initiate the measurement. The display will show the measurement result.
Ko te ZERO button can be used to null out lead resistance for accurate low-ohm measurements.
3.3. Using Memory Functions
The device includes internal memory for storing measurement values. Use the WHAKAMAHI button and the arrow keys to navigate and save readings. Refer to the on-screen prompts for specific memory operations.
- Perehi WHAKAMAHI to access memory functions.
- Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through stored readings or memory locations.
- Function buttons (F1-F4) may provide additional options related to memory, such as saving, recalling, or deleting data.
3.4. PC Interface
The Fluke 1653B features a PC interface for documentation and reporting. Connect the device to a computer using the appropriate cable (sold separately) and use Fluke's software (if applicable) to download and analyze stored data.
4. Tiaki
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Fluke 1653B.
4.1. Te horoi
Clean the instrument casing me te panuiamp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any electrical circuits before cleaning.
4.2. Rokiroki
When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the device in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
4.3. Whakatau
For continued accuracy, it is recommended to have the Fluke 1653B calibrated periodically by an authorized service center. Refer to Fluke's official documentation for recommended calibration intervals.
