Hi Adrian, I got one of these after seeing this video. Brilliant bit of kit. Although The other week I was tracing a fault of open circuit on a ring r1. At board end to end just this i got continuity ring tone. Yet when i used my mft megger 1731 it was >999. Found fault in kitchen socket where conductors were in terminal but somehow one was just not touching to make connection. Re terminated and checked at board with megger and got reading... Bit my query is why the TIS picked up first and megger didn't, any ideas? The fault was found by a eicr engineer on previous visit. Ive always trust my TIS but how its thrown a little doubt on it.
Without being there it’s hard to say, but you may find that the Megger only tests up to 99.9 ohms on continuity, yet voltage indicators with continuity built in go up to 2000ohms. It’s the only thing I can think of, either that or your fingers were touching the ends of the probes and the continuity was picked up through you. Try it on you TIS
The bonus of being to fit the croc clips to the Fluke T5 is one of the reasons i like to use it. Even though it isnt compliant with gs38, its a good all round tester. This though would be my next choice though. In fact the new year im going to be kitting out a specific fault fining tool bag so this is a dead sure purchase.
Getting me one of these kits after you showing all the functions, very nice, thanks Adrian 👍
They are a nice bit of kit for the money 👍
Nice one Adrian and stay bless.
Thank you 🤝
Didnt even think about using the 4mm tips like that mate! Nice one cheers.
You’re welcome
i use fluke t6-1000 and it got banana plug also comes with crocodile clips and agree, it is a great feature

Nice 👌
I like the Fluke T5 because you can select voltage, or continuity, or current, as well as the open jaw clamp
The original maker of TIS it is Brymen . Brymen bt75eu
How much for this ??
