fluke 1664fc tester

Fred
Hello. Does anyone have a fluke 1664fc tester, and have problems with it ? Most times I use it, it comes up with error message 5, which I think is interference on a circuit. Had the tester a couple of years now. Starting to wish a had bought a megger. It also trips rcds out, spoke to Fluke technical and their response was its a very complex tester, that's when technical is open, as apparently technical is closed on Tuesdays, as its the chaps day off !!!

    No I haven't used the app on the phone, or any off the other fancy things on the tester. I have had the tester just over a couple of years now. I have been in touch with Fluke UK in the past about rcd's tripping out whilst doing a zs test at different sockets and lights etc , even on there low test mode. They told me to press and hold down the down arrow key to change the frequency from 0HZ to 128HZ and visa versa. But it still tripos rcd's out. Also most times it comes up with error 5 and error 4. But if I use my friends megger or metrel testers , they are fine on the same circuits. When I have called Fluke about it they just say the new Fluke is very complex. Its annoying, not impressed at all with it considering I paid well over a grand for it .
