Information on the calibration of newly purchased equipment and what it means to you.

Calibration and its certification comes in varying forms on new equipment and in this section, we will break it down into the three areas that we use to classify calibration state at the point of purchase.

Manufacturers Calibration Certificate

This is a calibration certificate offered by the manufacturer supplied with the tester. This is also known as an end-of-line certificate or manufacturer’s certificate. These certificates vary depending on the manufacturer and product. They will not have your company's name on them and don’t always show proven test results.

Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.

This instrument comes complete with the manufacturer's calibration certificate. Please be aware that these certificates are generic and may also be time-lapsed.
If you would prefer a personalised full traceable calibration certificate applied to the equipment before dispatch, then please select this option from the drop-down menu above, an additional calibration charge will apply.

Manufacturers Certificate of Conformity

A manufacturer's certificate of conformity is not a calibration certificate. It is merely a statement that the equipment has been produced to operate within its intended application, it has no traceable certificate or constitutes any defined results for accuracy before leaving the manufacturing process.

Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.

This instrument comes with a ‘manufacturer's certificate of conformity’. It is important to understand that this does NOT constitute a ‘calibration certificate’. A certificate of conformity merely states that the equipment has been designed and produced to meet the requirements of its intended application.
Where calibration of an instrument is possible we will offer this as a separately purchasable item and may be selected from the drop-down box above. You will be sent a full traceable calibration certificate produced in our laboratory and applied with your details as required.

Personalised traceable calibration certificate from isswww

This is a calibration certificate created by us at ISS. This certificate is fully traceable to national and international standards. The certificate will show your company's details, tester information, proven test results and the equipment used to carry out the test. Nearly 90% of all calibrations we do are done in-house in one of our many fully equipped laboratories. You can add this service to your order on the product page before you checkout.

Where applicable we will include the following statement relating to the item/s on the products page under the heading *Important Calibration Information.

We are on occasion able to offer FREE calibration on certain products at their point of sale (newly purchased equipment only) please look out for the following badge on the product's page to take advantage of this free offer.

Description

Fluke 1625-2 GEO Earth Ground Test Kit

Simpler and faster earth ground testing than ever before

The Fluke 1625-2 offers you simpler, faster earth ground tests than ever before. The 1625-2 offers internal memory storage up to 1500 records, accessible via USB port for rapid data transfer and viewing of results. This earth ground tester also gives you world-class accessories that take the tedium out of earth ground testing. New wire reels speed up setup and tear down time as much as 50%. Heavy duty stakes can be hammered into dry, hard soil. And new color-coded wires make setup simple and help eliminate mistakes.

Fluke 1625-2 Kit Comes Supplied With:

GEO Earth Ground Tester
User’s Manual
Batteries
Quick Reference Guide
USB Cable
2 Clamps
C1620 Professional Carrying Case
4 Earth Ground Stakes
3 Cable Reels

The Fluke 1625-2 improves your earth ground testing process with:

Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) - identifies existing interference and chooses a measurement frequency to minimize its effect, providing more accurate earth ground value
R* measurement - calculates earth ground impedance at 55 Hz to more accurately reflect the earth ground resistance that a fault-to earth ground would see
Adjustable limits - for quicker testing
3- and 4-pole Fall-of-Potential, earth resistance loop testing
4-pole Soil Resistivity testing
Selective earth ground rod testing using 1 clamp
Stakeless earth ground rod testing using 2 clamps
IP56 rated for outdoor use
Rugged carrying case
USB data storage and transfer

Stakeless Testing

The Fluke 1625-2 earth ground tester is able to measure earth ground loop resistances using only clamps. With this test method, two clamps are placed around the earth ground rod and each are connected to the tester. No earth ground stakes are used at all. A known, fixed voltage is induced by one clamp and the current is measured using the second clamp. Then the tester automatically determines the resistance of the earth ground rod. This test method only works if a bonded earth ground system exists for the building or structure under test, but most are. If there is only one path to ground, like at many residential applications, the Stakeless method will not provide an acceptable value and the Fall of Potential test method must be used.

With Stakeless testing, the earth ground rod does not need to be disconnected - leaving the bonded earth ground system intact during test. Gone are the days of spending time placing and connecting stakes for each earth ground rod on your system - a major time saver. You can also perform earth ground tests in places you’ve not considered before: inside buildings, power pylons, or anywhere you don’t have access to soil.

The Most Complete Tester

The Fluke 1625-2 is a unique earth ground tester that can performs all four types of earth ground measurement:

3- and 4-Pole Fall-of-Potential (using stakes)
4-Pole Soil Resistivity testing (using stakes)
Selective testing (using 1 clamp and stakes)
Stakeless testing (using 2 clamps only)
