    Can any of you more experienced fluke owners explain why I keep getting an error code 4 when attempting to perform Ze on an installation.

    I've looked in the manual and it says code 4 means fault voltage.

    Any ideas?

    It means "Dirty Earth" - Caused by the ****** leads if you don't make a good clean contact, or if the installation is loaded and live.

    Tip - Next time you get this error, use the direction arrow to scroll to the reading ;) The test is still caried out, but the meter is saying it may not be to accurate.

    Hi - thought I'd follow on from this thread. I'm getting an Error 4 on my Fluke 1651 when trying to measure trip time for a 100mA RCD. Measuring at a socket - Zs of 510 ohms (high I know). No errors at 30mA (no trip of course) - but error whenever any greater trip current is used. Battery voltage 8.2v. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I have a Fluke 1651, and had an "Error 4" come up, and it turned out that the neutral connection was loose at the consumer unit.
