On opening, you are presented with four menu options:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Measuring<\/b>This section contains a range of different tests with information as to what the test does, what test instrument to use, how to connect the test instrument correctly and how to interpret the result.<\/li>\n
- Knowledge<\/b>General knowledge regarding specific areas of electrical testing including safety & regulations.<\/li>\n
- Settings<\/b>At present this app has been designed with the British Standards included, however local regulations will be added over time and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be able to switch between these in this section. When available, this will particularly useful for those who carry out installation work both in the UK and abroad.<\/li>\n
- About Fluke<\/b>This is one of the most useful features of the app in our opinion. This section has the telephone number for Fluke Technical Support and as it is on your phone, you can call them directly for assistance, whether it is a question about your test instrument, or the test you are trying to carry out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nGoing back to the guide, there are five screens that cover the testing process, with graphics showing you where to test, as well as how to prepare and carry the test out correctly. The last screen considers the result and explains how to check the value. A second section entitled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153different results?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d looks at what to consider if your result is higher, lower or on the limit and a further section discusses the causes of insulation failure.<\/p>\n
Closing comments<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
This is a free app and it really is very good, offering sound information and points of reference. Aside from a few spelling errors the only other downside was the inability to be able to enlarge the images, which on a phone is quite important in order to be able to benefit from the graphics provided.<\/p>\n
The main advantage to the app is that Fluke will continually update it, increasing the benefit of it over time.<\/p>\n
