    Hi. Has anyone any experience with these type of testers? Ease of use etc?
    I'm currently looking at replacing my alphatek easitest.

    Opinions would be most appreciated.

    So the 1553 with on site software is definately worth the extra? Say, over the 1502/1552?

    I should probably say that I dont specialise in inspect and test, so dont expect to be doing 2 a day etc!

    Cheers again in advance.

    so how does it work this 1553 ?

    you do the Zs for each circuit
    you do some R1 R2s
    you do Ze etc etc etc
    how does it put this on a stificate? what stificate does it put it on ?
    I don't understand :-|(

    You guys who have these, which 'body' are you with?
    I was just reading the software blurb, and it seems to favour NIC/Elecsa.

    Would appreciate your comments.

    Cheers.

    Phase-Phase Phase-Neutral and Phase-Earth Loop Tests
    are possible. No danger of damage from accidental 3-
    phase connection.

    I'm very happy with my 1552, but have always found processing the readings via 'grey matter' and pen & paper to be reliable, accurate and cost effective. Only you can know if you'll use the bluetooth, but the meter is great.

    Concur ,,,, I can't imagine how a meter could gather random tests and set the results correctly onto a test cert, I'm thinking it would be overcomplicated and under used , but hey maybe I'm wrong.

    I can understand where it can work if you do your tests in the order that you should/combined with having your software setup with the correct order of tests/circuits.

    Anyway, I wanted to know off the guys who have these if they're registered with NIC or Elecsa as the blurb on the software seems to indicate it favours them.

    Cheers
