Hi,
I'm in the same boat and need a manual for my ROBIN 1620.
Could you point me to the Robin website?
Mike.

seems as there is a few out there with no manual. I have just been given a KTS1620 but, you've guessed it, no paper work. be grateful for any manual or info.

Robin no longer exists. It was bought out by Fluke and the instruments dropped from their range.
However it appears that the original Robin management promptly went back to China, changed the casings from yellow to grey and now sell identical instruments under the Kewtech brand.
The Robin 1620 is now the Kewtech KT62 and the manual can be downloaded from their website.
This information is applicable to all the other instruments in the old Robin range .

Seems a shame.

Mine still going strong!

Hi sparkyvr, google Robin 1620 manual and visit the top link. There's loads of PDF manuals on the website. I've got a copy I can send to you if you let me have your email address.

Have a play around with the meter and test leads.

Remembering your dead tests use 2 a lead set and live tests require the IEC 3 lead or plug connected.

Also it may trip RCD's even if it has a D lock on the loop testing mode.

Still a excellent bit of kit!

Good luck !

Fluke did not buy out ROBIN they just a license to use the name, the director and the chairman relocated from Watford to Chesham with most of the original staff and set up kewtech hence the kewtech kt62 multifunction tester is the same as the ROBIN KTS 1620 they just changed the colour from yellow for the ROBIN to grey for the Kewtech and both were and still made in the Netherlands NOT China
