Fluke err 1 message

err 1

anyone know what this means before i take it to my extremley expensive calibration expert
no manual and fluke website just gives me the manual for the fused test probe !!

 

[HandySparks]

You don't say which piece of test equipment this is on but you can download Fluke manuals for the 165x series from their UK website:Manuals Search

 

[Lucas123]

yeah sorry 1652 multi
i tried fluke website but all it would bring up is one page for the fused test probes

 

[snailhunter]

I dont have a Fluke myself but sem to remember when i have used 1 in the past that error 1 maybe a fuse blown in the test leads or tester itself.

Low battery? I use on site calibration - 07776 200146

 

[Lucas123]

yeah have changed batteries till saying it though !

Knackered, go buy a decent test kit like the multi-function megger, 5 years with the same one now and still going strong

Fluke 165xx series MFT error codes:

Error 1, Self-Test failure. Return tester to Fluke service centre.

Error 2, Over-Temperature. Wait let tester cool down.

Error 3, Internal protection failure? Return tester to Fluke service centre.

Error 4, Fault Voltage. Check the installation, in particular, the voltage between N and E.

Error 5, Excessive Noise. Loop, RCD tests, switch off all appliances. Earth Resistance tests, move earth stakes.

Error 6, Excessive Probe Resistance. Put the stakes deeper into the soil. Tamp down the soil directly around the stakes. Pour water around the stakes but not at the earth electrode under test.

Fuse, Fuse in battery box is faulty.

top man markie !!
vermin616 i got a megger 1553 you wally i was trying to help out a young lad who had been passed on the tester and has just started out in the game
less attitude more helpfulness

How the hell was i meant to know that it wasnt your test kit?

I have the 1653, err 4 is no earth, err 5 is no neutral but never had a err1
still got the instructions in the glove box so will check in the morning.

Check out my post #8 for the full list of error codes, causes and remedies.

well mine has gone ---- up with err1 so its been sent off to be fixed with fluke.

How much does it cost to fix a tester with err1???

It depends on the actual fault. Error 1 faults can be split broadly into two categories:- 1) Hardware repair required, expensive >£100+; 2) Firmware update and/or re-calibration required, >£50+. Use a Fluke approved service centre when dealing with Error 1 faults.

I had err 1 on 1653, sent to fluke who updated the firmware tested it and sent it back very quick service but relieved me of 95.50 +vat.

I had this problem with my tester. Rang around all the calibration houses in the Newcastle upon Tyne area, as I didn't want to send it away to Fluke, there is a company called AMECal. They offer all types of repair and calibration services, I use them all the time now. They repaired and calibrated my Fluke 1652 with error 1 for £200+vat, a lot cheaper than fluke. I also had the tester back next day, a lot faster than Fluke. There turn around time is 2-3 days, it will depend on your repair and the availability of parts. Would defiantly recommend

ERR1 on the Fluke 1650 series is not one fault. It simply means that the tester has failed its self-test.
There are three categories of Err1:
Non clicking Err1's testers which have lost their Calibration constants. These require a small electronic repair and long recalibration procedure.
Clicking Err1's require the same lengthy recalibration procedure without adjustment, until the fault is identified and rectified.
10A fuse Err1's. The user fits the 10A fuse from the lead probe in place of the fuse in the base of the tester. In the event of live voltage being applied to the tester whilst doing a continuity test, the fuse is unable to blow, failing to protect the circuitry. Repairs on these testers normally involves replacing 20+ blown components and in some cases these are beyond economical repair.
