Fluke 6500-2 Portable Appliance Tester

The Fluke 6500-2 PAT tester is a low weight, small size, one-touch solution with redesigned auto-test capabilities to help you increase the number of portable appliance tests completed each day. The 6500-2 is designed to enable you to work faster without compromising test results. With a full QWERTY keyboard, alphanumeric data entry is faster, easier and more convenient. The integral site, location and description codes further speed up data entry on site, and contribute to more efficient testing and results management. The 6500-2 stores in excess of 1000 test results in its main memory. These can be written to the USB drive for back-up. Data can be sent to the office for generating customer reports while the instrument continues with a cleared memory in the field. FEATURES Dedicated key for each test for ‘one-touch’ testing. Pre-set pass/fail levels to save time. Single mains socket for appliance connection. Separate IEC socket for easy mains/extension lead testing. USB port for data transfer. Integral QWERTY keyboard for rapid data entry. Pre-set, auto-test sequences for user convenience. Integral site, location and description codes for faster data processing.
