The Fluke 1000FLT is designed to check common faults in fluorescent lamps without the need to remove the lamp from its fixture. Its functions include:
-
Lamp Test: Check the lamp's health without removing it
-
Ballast Test: Detect proper ballast operation
-
Non-contact Voltage (NCV): Identify the presence of voltage in the circuit
-
Pin Continuity Test: Check the connection of the lamp leads
-
Ballast Type Detection: Differentiate between electronic and magnetic ballast without opening the device
All these tests are completed in less than 30 seconds, and the results are indicated both by indicator lights and an audible alarm. The device is resistant to falls from heights of up to 2 meters and operates with AA batteries.
