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 !!!

    I have a new Megger MFT1741 and last week it tripped some of the new Hager type-A RCDs during three wire low loop tests, before I bought it I had a chat to the guy in the Megger tech dept and apparently I may need to shorten the time of the test from the default period, but I cannot find it in the menu so I may have to phone him again to check what I need to do. 


    I still had had my dedicated Megger two wire loop tester on the van, so I used that. I was going to put some of my testers up for sale, but I still need to determine which ones to keep, the guy at Megger said keep a set of individual dedicated testers as backup for the MFT.
