Temperature ranges
Working temperature -10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 22 °F)
Operating temperature 0 °C to 35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F)
Storage temperature -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F)

1623 Specifications
The most complete testers
The Fluke 1623 and 1625 are distinctive earth
ground testers that can perform 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)
The testers are also easy to use. For each test,
the testers inform you which stakes or clamps need
to be connected and the large rotary switch can be
used even with a gloved hand.
The complete model kit comes with the 1623
or 1625 tester, test leads, 4 earth ground stakes,
3 cable reels with wire, 2 clamps, batteries, and
manual—all inside a rugged Fluke carrying case.
